Svetlana Egorova informed that YSC* has conducted a survey among young scientists and identified the issues they see as the most important. Thus, young scientists are concerned about the possibilities of AI use in their scientific disciplines, they'd like to learn how to prepare scientific publications for high-ranking journals, to thoroughly understand the requirements of the Higher Attestation Commission for degree theses. At the same time, young people would like to engage in popularization of science.
Director General supported the youth's initiative to organize workshops, lectures and meetings that would help young people to better understand modern trends in science development, to navigate through the requirements of editorial boards of scientific journals and thesis councils and, thus, be able to grow professionally. “Organization of events that promote the competencies and career growth of young scientists is one of the tasks for the YSC. KarRC RAS administration will provide all the assistance the YSC may need in this important endeavor" - commented Olga Bakhmet on the results of the meeting.
This is the third meeting of the Director General with the YSC Chairperson since the election of its new members. Young scientists actively use the opportunities to promote their agenda at the Center.
*KarRC RAS Young Scientists Council (YSC) is a collegial advisory body under KarRC RAS Director General. It is meant to unite young scientists of the Center to find the best ways to involve scientific youth in the development of basic and applied science, realize their scientific potential, advance professionally, as well as to help protect their rights, improve working and living conditions, and organize leisure time.

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.

Citizen science and web technologies help researchers study insects of Karelia
More than 30 insect species not encountered in Karelia previously have been revealed by entomologists from KarRC RAS during their expeditions and using data communicated by active participants of the iNaturalist portal – an open platform for collecting biodiversity data.
