Zbigniew Szydlo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zbigniew (or Andrew) Szydlo born in England to Polish parents and educated at Latymer Upper School, then at Imperial College and University College London. He currently teaches chemistry at Highgate School in North London. He holds MSc, PhD, DIC, ACGI, FRSC, CChem.
An expert on the history of alchemy, he has had a book published by the Polish Academy of Sciences entitled: "Water that does not wet hands: The Alchemy of Michael Sendivogius". The former is a Polish alchemist, who Szydlo believes has not received proper recognition for his works. He frequently gives lectures in the United Kingdom on topics including the history of chemistry. He appears on television, currently as part of Channel 4's series That'll teach 'em.
Other interests include music (he is an accomplished player of a number of instruments), Polish dancing, automobile engineering, meteorology, photography and mycology.
