During the visit, students were introduced to scientific classification systems and preservation techniques for biological and geological specimens, as well as museum documentation methods used by research institutions in studying and analyzing scientific samples, this experience contributes to enhancing students’ scientific skills and deepening their understanding of the importance of linking theoretical knowledge with practical applications in forensic science and related disciplines.
The scientific program also allowed students to observe a wide range of preserved biological and natural specimens within the museum’s collections, highlighting the role of scientific museums as knowledge laboratories that support research and document biodiversity and environmental legacy.
