Nina Nemova is a Doctor of Biology, the first Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Karelia, Leader of a KarRC RAS's research area, Principal Researcher of the Ecological Biochemistry Laboratory of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS.
Since graduating from the Faculty of Biology of the Petrozavodsk State University in 1972, Nina Nemova has been working at the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS. For twenty years, from 1996 to 2016, she was its director. In June 2022, Nina Nemova was elected an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This status is bestowed on scientists who have enriched science with works of paramount scientific importance.
Nina Nikolaevna is a Merited Scientist of Karelia and Russia. In 2010, Nina Nikolaevna was awarded the Order of Friendship. In 2021, following the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Nina Nemova was awarded the Order of Honor for her great contribution to the development of science and for years of devoted work.
Her main research areas are ecological biochemistry, biology of animal development, toxicology and aquaculture. The Academician's scientific interests include:
• strategies and mechanisms of adaptations in aquatic organisms studied using the comparative-evolutionary and ecological-biochemical approaches;
• freshwater and marine fishes and aquatic invertebrates of different taxonomic groups in the arctic and subarctic regions; methods for assessing their condition under impacts of various nature and under climate fluctuations;
• general mechanisms and specific features of the genesis of biochemical variation during the growth and development of salmonid fishes in wild populations and in aquaculture;
• biochemical mechanisms behind the development of adaptive responses in living organisms at different stages of evolutionary development; prediction of possible changes in aquatic ecosystems.
Nina Nemova is the author of more than 600 academic papers, leader of projects of different levels, scientific supervisor of doctoral and post-doctoral candidates.
Nina Nikolaevna has a few times been named a Laureate of the Year of the Republic of Karelia.

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.

An important phase of the KarRC RAS Director General election procedure completed
The Electoral Commission has summarized the results of the voting for the election of the Director General of KarRC RAS. The turnout exceeded 80% of the Center's employees. The majority of votes, 391, were cast for Alexander Kryshen, Director of the Forest Research Institute. Acting Director General Olga Bakhmet was supported by 252 voters, and Deputy Director General Yuri Zaika received 17 votes. The Electoral Commission documented these results in its report, which will be submitted to the HR Policy Department of the Federal Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The candidacies will now undergo the procedure of approval by federal agencies, after which the employment contract will be signed with the winner of the competition.
