The Department of Botany and Plant Biology at the University of Geneva held various events to celebrate Fascination of Plants Day 2015, including educational activities for school children and an evening debate for the public. During the morning, over 50 school children learned about plant evolution through an interactive game and observed plant collections. Students also acted as scientists investigating tomato domestication and extracting tomato DNA. The evening debate among experts addressed challenges for modern agriculture, alternatives to GMOs and pesticides, and new sustainable strategies. Around 100 people participated in the debate and subsequent poster session.

In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

Fascinujúce rastliny majú svoj deň

Deň fascinácie rastlinami oslavuje 54 svetových krajín
Bratislava 17. máj 2013 – Ani centrum výskumu rastlinnej výroby v Piešťanoch nie je výnimkou a spolu so svojimi návštevníkmi oslavuje pod
záštitou ministra Ľubomíra Jahnátka Deň fascinácie rastlinami. Štátny tajomník MPRV SR Štefan Adam pri tejto príležitosti otvoril v stredu 15.
mája 2013 prehliadku expozície Dňa fascinácie rastlinami symbolickým vysadením stromu jarabiny oskorušovej (Sorbus domestica L.). Tento
vzácny strom sa dožíva vysokého veku a vyznačuje sa nielen veľmi kvalitným drevom, ale jeho plody sú veľmi vyhľadávané pre pozitívne účinky
na tráviaci systém. Slovensko je jednou z 54 krajín zapojených do akcie s cieľom vzbudiť v širokej verejnosti záujem o biológiu rastlín
a význam rastlín v živote človeka. „Rastliny to je život na Zemi. Bez ich existencie by sa do atmosféry neuvoľňovali bilióny ton kyslíka
potrebného pre život ľudí a rastliny sú i zdrojom potravy“, zdôraznil štátny tajomník a dodal: „Rastlina má veľa prívlastkov, ale stále je to ten
istý fascinujúci zelený organizmus, bez ktorého by život na zemi nebol možný.“V závere uznal, že inteligentná spoločnosť rastliny vysoko
hodnotí a uznáva ich nezastupiteľné miesto ako primárneho potravinového zdroja, obnoviteľný zdroj energie, či ich dôležitú úlohu v ochrane
životného prostredia.
Počas prehliadky expozície sa návštevníci dozvedeli akej problematike sa venuje výskumnícka pozornosť na pracovisku. Na vlastnej koži zažili
prírodu v laboratóriu a vyskúšali si, ako pracujú mnohé prístroje, ktoré výskumníci využívajú pri svojej práci. Na jednom zo 16 stanovísk hostia
spoznali, čo riadi a ovplyvňuje rastlinu a akou rečou sa rozprávajú rastlinné gény, či kedy sú rastliny choré a podvýživené. Akciou rezonovala
tiež téma obnoviteľných zdrojov energie. Hostia mohli ochutnať pečivo z netradičných druhov obilnín, pseudoobilnín a strukovín, ako aj rôzne
druhy bylinkových čajov, rozlíšiť liečivé rastliny na základe vône, či odniesť si domov rastliny bazalky. Fascinácia rastlinami pokračovala tiež
prehliadkou Génovej banky Slovenskej republiky, ukážkami netradične sfarbených semien pšenice a tvorby nových rastlinných druhov metódami
klasického šľachtenia. Bodkou za expozíciou po fascinujúcich rastlinách boli chutné dezerty pripravené z tradičných slovenských plodín akými sú
pšenica, ovos a mak.
Otváracieho dňa sa spolu s predstaviteľmi Ministerstva pôdohospodárstva a rozvoja vidieka SR zúčastnilo viac ako 300 návštevníkov, ktorí mohli
doslova zažiť fascináciu rastlinami s priaznivým účinkom na život človeka.
