Professors Rudolf Weigl and Ludwik Hirszfeld – in the Meanders of History
Annals of Parasitology 2012, 58(4), 189–199 Copyright© 2012 Polish Parasitological Society Review articles Professors Rudolf Weigl and Ludwik Hirszfeld – in the meanders of History Elżbieta Lonc 1, Grażyna Gościniak 2 1 Institute of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Wrocław University, Przybyszewskiego 66/77, 51-148 Wroclaw, Poland 2 Chair and Department of Microbiology, Medical Faculty, The Silesian Piasts Medical University in Wrocław, T. Chałubińskiego 4, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland Corresponding author: Elżbieta Lonc; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The lives and scientific achievements of two outstanding Polish biologists – Professors Rudolf Weigl (1883–1957) and Ludwik Hirszfeld (1884–1954) – are presented in the context of the social and political events before and after World War II. The main aim is to recall and emphasise the very modern studies conducted in the two decades between the wars in the Polish scientific centres of Lvov and Warsaw, and the resulting concepts which provided the basis for both the modern microbiological-parasitological experiments and the organisation of post-war teaching and research institutions in Poland. An attempt is made at analysing the effect of scientific paradigms from the boundary of the 19th and 20th centuries on the activity and attitudes of the two outstanding scientists. Their fates coincided in the dramatic war circumstances. Attention is drawn to human and extra-human factors which determined their very different fates in the last, post-war period of their lives. In August 1945 Prof. L. Hirszfeld moved from Lublin to Wrocław where he became famous as the first Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Wrocław University and the founder of the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences. -
80Th ANNIVERSARY of PROFESSOR ALFRED JAHN
POLISH POLAR RESEARCH 16 1-2 3-4 1995 80th ANNIVERSARY OF PROFESSOR ALFRED JAHN It is a great privilege to commemorate such an important and uncommon anniversary of a friend in Polar research. Professor Alfred Jahn, the Honorary Chairman of the Polish Committee on Polar Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences, certainly deserves this. Born on 22 April, 1915, in Lwów, he studied at the Jan Kazimierz University in Lwów, where he got his M.Sc. degree in geography in 1937. As a young scientist, he began his Polar research the same year, during the First Polish West Greenland Expedition organized and led by Professor Aleksander Kosiba. The observations he gathered during that expedition, allowed him to prepare his Ph.D. Thesis on Investigations on the structure and temperature of soils in West Greenland, defended at the same university in 1939. Though his Polar studies were interrupted by the Ilnd World War, Professor Jahn immediately joined ranks of the Polar explorers and researches during the Illrd International Geophysical Year, 1957 — 8. He became one of the most scientifically productive members of the Polish Illrd I.G.Y. Expeditions to south Spitsbergen, led by Professor Stanisław Siedlecki, being the head of the „Periglacial Group North" of that expedition, and at the same time one of the builders of the Polish Scientific Station at Isbjornhamna, Hornsund, as well. The research in West Greenland and south Spitsbergen made Professor Jahn one of the leading scientists in the world, in the field of Polar geomorphology and studies of glacial and periglacial zones.
