From the Department of Morphology to the Department of Histology and Embryology, A Life Dedicated to Science and Education; Prof. Dr. Meral BAKA

Abstract

In the 4th century BC, Platon gave lectures to his students on various subjects such as mathematics, natural sciences and the form of government in an olive grove called Akademeia near Athens. The father of the modern university was Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) in the early 19th century, who shaped the academic structure in which research and education were combined. Character traits expected of an academic are honesty, humility, hard work, altruism, vision, team spirit, tolerance and belief in universality. This biographical article was written to commemorate Prof. Dr. Meral Baka, who died on 21.01.2024, who was an idealist scientist with the qualities mentioned a sentence ago, who gave importance to histotechnical modifications in the histology laboratory, who did not hesitate to say what she knew right, and who always drew an exemplary profile with her fondness for her family and students.
