Historyk powinien starać się zrozumieć przeszłość i zinterpretować ją tak, żeby nie tylko ,,dało się" to przeczytać, ale było jeszcze dobrze ,,podane". Ja bym mu żadnej innej misji nie wyznaczał. A już broń Boże politycznej - mówi dr Marcin Zaremba.

The Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences (Bull.Pol. Ac.: Tech.) is published bimonthly by the Division IV Engineering Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences, since the beginning of the existence of the PAS in 1952.

O tym, jak ciekawość prowadzi do ważnych odkryć naukowych, opowiada prof. Lidia Morawska, wykładowczyni na Uniwersytecie Technologicznym w Queensland w Australii oraz dyrektorka Międzynarodowego Laboratorium Jakości Powietrza i Zdrowia.

The historian should try to understand the past and interpret it in such a way that people will want to read about it. I would not propose any other mission. And certainly the historian should never have a political axe to grind - says Dr. Marcin Zaremba.

Drought: the very word instills dread, conjuring

up images of dried-up wells, barren earth, and – perhaps worse still – empty taps and long lines to access wells. Is Poland likely to experience significant water shortages?

Sometimes just a single spark of curiosity can be the beginning of a successful scientific career, says Prof. Lidia Morawska, Professor at the Queensland University of Technology and Director of the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health (ILAQH).
