Doufáme proto, že si uděláte chvíli času a mezi učením si přečtete, co jsme pro Vás připravili. Kromě tradičních rubrik pro Vás máme novinku a to rozhovory se studenty naší školy. Pro toto číslo byla volba na nás, od následujícího čísla to už bude tzv. ve Vaší režii, pokud chcete tedy v časopise mít rozhovor s někým konkrétním, neváhejte se ozvat a pošlete nám svůj návrh a také to, co byste o dotyčném či dotyčné chtěli vědět. Také by nás velice potěšilo, kdybyste se rozhodli rozšířit naše řady. Práce pro časopis je velmi zajímavá a dá se říci, že každý si zde přijde na své. Naší sna- hou je mít pevnou základnu, tak aby HK Chronicle nebyl jen dílem pár jedinců, ale většího množství lidí s nejrůznějšími zájmy a názory. Byla by škoda, kdyby tento slibný projekt musel skončit jen kvůli tomu, že mezi námi není dostatek lidí, kteří by se na něm chtěli podílet. Upřímně doufáme, že se mezi Vámi najde někdo, kdo bude chtít přiložit ruku k dílu. A pokud nám tedy nechcete poskytnout ani svoje ruce ani svoje hlavy, tak nám alespoň udělejte radost tím, že nám věnujete na pár okamžiků svoji pozornost a začtete se do toho, co napsali Vaši spolužáci. Přejeme Vám tedy příjemné čtení a mnoho sil do učení. Vaše redakce Hi there and welcome back to HK! My name is Anne.

Besides, we checked out the reptile in HK for you (page 17), are inviting you to a Christmas celebration organized in Pardubice with some performances from the Arts Club HK (page 22), our local Hockey team wants you (page 32) and much more...

It I have to say that I have been the head of this seemed like we were two grannies chatting about our department for quite a long time now. It happened at the younger lives, over a glass of wine. She was so cool, beginning of 1990. At that time I was 39 years old and it so funny… was quite demanding. Of course, it has been associated with the political changes affecting our society at that time because it was shortly after the Velvet Revolution. Every- thing was on the move. I have been working here since From which faculty of medicine did you graduate 1975 and I was one of the skilled assistants and that has and in which year? leaded me to this position. At first, I really didn’t want to be the head of the department, it was not my ambition. But so I graduated in 1975 from the medical faculty here in is life! Now I’m happy it happened because I can put into Hrádec Kralové. Before that, I went to high school, in a city reality my dreams about sciences, research and teaching. called Pardubice, which is very close to Hradec. What do you like the most about teaching? And can you tell us why you chose Physiology as The most important to me is the direct contact with the your field of teaching? students. The possibility to speak to them face to face. I like to introduce the beauty of physiology to the undergraduate Physiology is a very nice subject that I really liked during students. I also enjoy giving my time to the PhD students my medical studies. I had it in my mind, before I came to because they are prepared; they have a good level of this faculty. If I had gone to a faculty of sciences, I would knowledge; they are almost like partners in my research. have chosen biology.

How do you find time to live up to all these responsibilities? When you entered the department of Physiology It is a really good question and I have to say that it is what was your position? quite difficult. Our children are grown-ups. They are living in Prague so they are not here everyday. And of course my When I started working here, I started as an assistant. husband is also very busy. Which means that I can spend at And very shortly, I think after 2 years, I started with my work much more time that most people can, especially PhD studies. females. I also come to the faculty during weekends with my husband. It wouldn’t be possible to do all these things otherwise. You are now the head of the department of Physiolo- gy. For how long have you held this position? 4 How do you spend your free time? What are your hobbies? Your husband is a co-author of some of your publi- cations, a colleague and the dean of our faculty. How It’s a good question. I like sports, especially swimming. does it feel like to have your husband as your boss? When I was younger, I took part in a swimming competition.

I wonder how we are going to celebrate it… What do you expect from students during their final exam of physiology? Anne L. Nengue 5th year GM. A certain level of knowledge! I think that during the lec- tures and practical classes, the students can get some ideas about what we could expect during the final exam. I want them to think logically, this is the most important. I can forgive a student who doesn’t know a lot of details but I really appreciate students that have logical thinking.
