Abstract

Every one of us meets during our lifetime thousands of people. Most of them linger for a while in our memory and disappear. Others become long-term memory. But if you are lucky, you meet at least one exceptional person who becomes engraved in your heart and memory forever. I had such luck. In my life, this extraordinary person was Professor Bohdan Matuszewski. He was my Ph.D. advisor, and when I worked under his supervision at the Department of Cytology at Warsaw University, his personality and teachings made me a scientist. The accompanying article is just a tiny sliver of my memory about Professor Matuszewski, His friendship, and how He shaped my life.
