Hi everyone, my name is Marcin Barszczewski and I used to work in [[Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry]] in [[Göttingen]], [[Germany]] where I finished my [[PhD]] in [[biochemistry]]/[[neuroscience]] graduating from [[International Max Planck Research School for Neurosciences]]. Originally I come from [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]] where I lived and studied until mid-2000.


Having spent 23 years in the country of far too many "glorious" [[List of wars involving Poland|unsuccessful uprisings]], I decided to change my environment and joined that PhD Programme launched by [[University of Göttingen]] and [[Max Planck Society]] and set off for Göttingen to study various cool stuff and to enjoy various sorts of German [[beer]] ;)


However, at the end of November 2005 I gave up "wet-lab science" and left Germany (less [[Weissbier]] for me...)


Since late 2005 I have been living in [[Belfast]], [[Northern Ireland]] and working at [http://www.andor-tech.com/ Andor Technology] I was Application Specialist for imaging dealing with various types of [[Charge-coupled_device|CCD]] sensors (cameras and [[Spectroscope|spectroscopes]]) for [[Imaging|bioimaging]] and [[physical chemistry]] but have since then done loads of other things, some of which were unbelievably nerdy and cool. 


The "hobby department" consists of a few random things, among them [[submarine warfare]], as you could easily guess from my screen name, [[Naval|naval gear]], [[scuba diving]], [[skiing]], [[fell-walking]], [[pipe smoking]], [[quantum computing]], reading (e.g. [[Amos Oz]], [[Isaac_Bashevis_Singer|Isaac B. Singer]], [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]) etc, etc.
