“THIS IS MY SELF-EXPRESSION”

It’s always nice to note that colleagues are all-round gifted people who are making significant strides not only in their professional field, but also in other spheres of life. Such people include Professor Volodymyr Babiyenko, Head of the Department of Hygiene and Medical Ecology. He is not only a scientist with the name of the doctor of medical sciences, professor, but also an artist, an Honored Artist of Ukraine, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. And also – a writer!

Discussing the new edition, the participants of the presentation shared their thoughts about the peculiarities of literary creativity of people for whom the word is not a profession, but who sought to realize themselves beyond their own professional interests. Such are the authors of the presented book.
