Symposium Keynote Address - Thoughts about Science and Life, Gathered from the Career of Andrzej Wieckowski

This presentation will open the symposium honoring Andrzej Wieckowski and is intended to draw attention to his career as a committed scientist, ever attentive to the well-being of students, colleagues, and institutions. Brief comments will be made about high points and critical junctures in Professor Wieckowski’s professional life, and they, in turn, will furnish a basis for more general commentary about opportunity, pleasure, and duty in science.
