FSR Beta is looking for members for next year's council! FSR is the faculty student council of the science faculty that represents the students on a faculty level to insure the student's best interests are reflected in most decisions and policies made by the faculty. If you want to have an impact, help yourself and your fellow students, have an impressive boost to your CV, earn money, learn about the university structure, and work with faculty and university bodies and members then FSR is for you!

It's not all serious and giving consent to documents, but you also get a chance to implement some initiatives, organize events, bond with 8 other members that you work closely with all year, and work with study associations, among many other things! FSR Beta will be your second family while still having a professional space to share your ideas and thoughts, and support current and future students to ensure they receive quality education and a fun, positive student life!

According to research, about 5-10% of cancer prevalence is attributed to pure hereditary factor while majority are combination between environmental and genetic factors (Hart et al., 2020). Always wise to get checked if you have high risk either from hereditary and/or unhealthy lifestyle.

The FSR beta represents all students of the Faculty of Sciences. We cooperate with the faculty board to directly address problems in our faculty, so the students’ voices are heard and regarded when decisions are made. We hold elections annually, to pass down the power and responsibilities to ambitious, motivated students who want to make a difference in the Faculty of Sciences, and we are currently looking for successors.
If you are interested, please send us your motivation letter and resume to [email protected] before Monday 28th of February.

Blue Monday is said to be the most depressing day of the year. And the new corona measurements do not help in providing motivation either. That's why we wanted to make that day a little better!

We would like to request you to take a picture of your happiest / most relaxing moment in the day on your 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 on the 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 to give each other motivation on this blue period with the hashtag ? It can be anything from drinking coffee to taking walk outside, as long as 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺! Don't forget to tag us @𝐟𝐬𝐫.𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐚

Typical neutron stars have a mass of up to three solar masses, which is crammed into a sphere with a radius of approximately ten kilometres (6.2 miles) – resulting in some of the densest matter in the known universe.
