POLONEZ BIS Blog is a place where we talk about science in a different way. We show real people, researchers, who decided to come to Poland not only to work and develop their scientific projects, but also to live an adventure.
Thanks to this virtual place, we will be able to follow the achievements of scientists who decided to undertake their research in Poland, but also to show their problems, dilemmas, inspirations and challenges related to the new living and working environment. The purpose of this blog is to show the human side of science, science perceived as an endless adventure, science behind which there are extraordinary stories that can be an inspiration for the young generation of future researchers.
