– It’s a storm in a glass of water. I really like astronomers. In Poland, there are many scientific disciplines, sometimes created artificially, to the detriment of science. Jarosław Gowin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and Higher Education explained the proposal for changes in the classification of scientific disciplines on the Polish Radio program 1.

Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin emphasized that limiting the number of fields means that they will be realized within other scientific disciplines, and that in the world the astronomy is treated not as a separate science, but part of the physical sciences.
– I am full of admiration for PR abilities of Polish astronomers and I am also full of recognition for their scientific achievements and this will be taken into account in my decision – added Minister Gowin.
