“If you like to memorize the endless bits and pieces of biological info, then study Biology. If you prefer to understand why it is not a good idea trying to run into a brick wall, then study Physics. But if you simply enjoy being a detective and would like to hone your knowledge, logic, intuition and common sense while having fun solving Chemistry problems, then IChO could be the right choice for you.”

ABOUT ME
My name is Martyna and I am an edupreneur passionate about biology and science education. I created this website for biology olympiads and contests to spread a word about amazing opportunities for high school students.
I am a former participant of the International Biology Olympiad 2012 in Singapore and International Biology Olympiad 2013 in Switzerland where both times I won a bronze medal. In addition, 3 times in a row I won a gold medal in theLithuanian National Biology Olympiad (LitBO) which made me unbeatable in the country in 2011, 2012 and, 2013. On Biolympiads.com, I would like to share my experience that I have acquired during those years while I was preparing for the IBO.
In 2013, I established Biolympiads Academy and have been tutoring students for the biology olympiad since then.
I obtained my BSc (Hons) in Biomedical sciences (Anatomy) with First class in 2017 from the University of Aberdeen, UK. In 2018, I published my first book, ‘How to Prepare for the Biology Olympiad and Science Competitions‘.
