A prominent Czech biologist and bioethicist, university lecturer, science communicator, writer, contributor to Czech Radio and other media, and recipient of numerous awards for his scientific and literary work, Professor Jaroslav Petr is a rare phenomenon in an age of narrow specialiZation—a Renaissance man in the best sense of the word. He completed his studies at the University of Agriculture in Prague in 1982 and, the following year, devoted himself fully to scientific research at the Institute of Animal Science in Uhříněves. His work focuses on reproductive biology and animal biotechnology. At the same time, he teaches at his alma mater, where he was appointed Professor of Physiology, Anatomy and Reproduction of Farm Animals in 2004. In his free time, he is dedicated to science communication and writes popular science books.
