Microfest of Prohibited Content: Adult Biology and Gender Genetics

Ćao, Serbs! A microfest of forbidden topics will take place on Sunday. Strictly 18+! Such material cannot be performed in Russia... But in Belgrade, it's allowed😈

First, in the format of a stand-up lecture, Olga Posukh, a biologist and author of children's science books, will reveal biological facts about the heroes of her books, which she has to hide from young readers for censorship reasons. Mushroom sex, cannibals and zombies among insects, self-harm and worm orgies, survival strategies in shit, gender change, and abusive families in nature. These and other shocking, disgusting, yet damn funny and truthful stories about the living world await you. No censorship, no animal seriousness - only science and dirty details!

Then, together with Anna Ivanova, author of a blog about bioinformatics, genetics, and data analysis Lab mouse and the book "How GMOs Save the Planet," we will discuss whether sexual orientation is embedded in genes and how it has passed through natural selection, how gender is formed in humans and other animals, whether we can choose whom we feel attracted to, or if the environment and biology decide for us, and much more!

16:00 - 17:45 Olga Posukh "Not-for-Children Biology: Sex, Death, and a bit of Cannibalism"

18:00 - 19:45 Anna Ivanova "The Genetics of Gender and Sexual Behavior"
