At an age when many would only think about a well-earned rest and relaxation, dr Stanisław Pruś opted for a radically different path, one that is anything but ordinary, and one that would certainly frighten many younger and aspiring researchers.

Every year, a number doctoral degrees are awarded at Lodz University of Technology: during a solemn ceremony researchers are presented with their doctoral diplomas. I am talking to Stanisław Pruś, who defended his doctoral dissertation in February. What makes him stand out among the group of newly promoted doctoral degree recipients are the years he has lived. He returned to research work while already retired. May this article serve as an inspiration to all who wish to pursue their scholarly interests, regardless of age or employment status.

The World University Championships in Speed Skating were held in Hamar, Norway. On the opening day of the event, the Poles performed outstandingly well, especially Natalia Jabrzyk and Marek Kania, 1000m distance champions! 'We have double gold, so that is something to be happy about', Jabrzyk, the new university world champion, did not beat around the bush. But that was not the end of medals won by the Polish athletes.
