About the author

Yes, the one on the left in the cap is me! Most likely, on the beach in Jastrzębia, I observe creeping creatures running away in panic from my sister. My interest in flatworms ended after the first year of studies at the Faculty of Animal Science, thanks to effective attempts to discourage me by the nature and complexity of such subjects as general chemistry. However, I fondly remember art classes, i.e. drawing human worms that stood at attention in front of us immersed in some formalin-like liquid. There were much fewer challenges related to exact sciences in psychology, and since I had a similar route to cover (10 minutes on foot) to the Jagiellonian University and to the Agricultural Academy, I did not hesitate for long. While writing my thesis and working under the wing of Prof. Tadeusz Marek, I quickly had the opportunity to get to know both professors who study the complexity of human nature and their work on translating research results into reality. During my internship with Prof. Motowidlo at the University of Florida, I was convinced for the first time what it means in practice to combine science with everyday reality. Interviewing, used every day in business, psychology, by the police, courts and special services, is the focus of interest for some behavioral psychologists, including myself. After conducting several thousand interviews, I noticed that they inspire me to ask increasingly difficult research questions and hypotheses. I analyze these issues with similar interest to Charagmus Gressorius (the Grey Squirrel) on the beach in Jastrzębia Góra.
