At the beginning of the event, Maja Vukan, on behalf of RERA SD, introduced AdriaClim and gave an overview of implemented and planned activities. After the introductory presentation, Natalija Dunić, ocean physicist from the Institute for Oceanography and Fisheries (IOF), explained the meaning of global warming and its impact on the living world through a very interesting and engaging presentation . Stefanija Šestanović, scientific adviser at the IOF,  presented her research “Small players, big roles: The impact of global warning on microbe process in the sea.” Mladen Šolić, professor from the University of Split and Head of the Microbiological laboratory at the IOF, explained how climate changes affect microbial food chain. After the lecture, he presented his new book "Voyage to Lilliput" (original title in Croatian "Put u Liliput"). This volume is a fourth one that addresses the climate change, and explains how body size and temperature impact numerous features of the living world. It also poses questions, such as: Is it good to be big in size? Is global warming leading to smaller body sizes? Why does warmer sometimes mean better? How the contradictory effects of climate change on the living world can be explained?

The info day came to a close with an interesting discussion about making scientific research understandable to the wider public, as well as decision makers.

At the end, participants and members of the audience joined in a discussion about making scientific research more understandable, approachable, and available to general public, and about ways to involve and include scientists and policy makers in a joint dialogue and education about climate and other environmental changes.
