Alisa Sedghifar

Some body wrote this comment on one of my previous posts:
Alisa is the third from the left, looks just like his father.Alisa Sedghifar won the silver medal for Australia. Did you know that she has an IQ of 160. Wow!
I don't believe that Iranians have a distinguished brain capacity, rather as a biology educator I konw that distribution of gifted students is the same all around the word. However I am very proud that Alisa is among the worlds most brilant students. Congratulations

The website of 16th International biology Olympiad is not active yet. This Olympiad is going to be held from July 10 to 20 in Beijing, China. Chairman of Organizing Committee, Prof. Jindong Zhao from Peking University, announced at the Meeting of Coordinators held in 15th IBO week, that the four practical laboratories for the 16th IBO will be:
1. Animal anatomy and ecology
2. Plant anatomy, Morphology, Systematics and Taxonomy
3. Cell Biology

Looks that the website should be constructed to provide information about the issue!
