Purici, nomazi și supă de șobolani: Andrei Mihalca at TEDxEroilor - Challenging Minds

Andrei D. Mihalca is a vet, researcher, parasitologist and photographer based in Cluj-Napoca since he was born, in 1978. Since childhood he was interested in the life of animals and his plans were to become a biologist. However, he decided to follow the courses of the Veterinary Faculty in Cluj-Napoca, which he graduated in 2002. His main research topics include parasite ecology, wildlife health, vector-borne diseases and tropical parasitology. Since 2006 he is conducting research in various tropical countries focused on the parasite diversity of domestic animals and wildlife. Together with colleagues from Czech Republic, he is responsible for the implementation of preventive veterinary programs in remote, tribal areas of Kenya. Since 2012, he is the coordinator of the European Network for Neglected Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
