Back to the pool, back to the roots

Recently, Przemek visited his former primary school - SP5 in Wyszkow, where he was invited as an alumnus to meet with students and share his career path. During the meeting, Przemek talked about how he became a scientist, what everyday research work looks like, and what kind of projects are currently being carried out by our team.

The visit was also a return to a very special place - the school where he trained competitive swimming as a member of UKS “Polonez” Wyszkow for nearly eight years. Przemek emphasized that this sports background still plays an important role in his scientific work. Determination, regular training, patience, and the ability to deal with failures are essential not only in sport, but also in science. In this sense, experiments may resemble training sessions, while scientific publications and grant applications can feel like important competitions that require long-term preparation.

It was a great opportunity to show students that the path to science can begin in many different places - including a swimming pool.
