Where do you call home? Czech Republic
Education: I have a PhD degree and I work as a researcher at the university. FA keeps me from working in the lab, however I like mathematics and programming, so I can do a lot of things for others – some advanced mathematical evaluation of experiments, numerical simulation, simple apps. Despite FA I still feel like a valuable member of our research team.
Who do you live with? I live with my wife, we have two children: daughter (14) and son (10). We have two black cats.
What is a typical day for you? I wake up early, after a “morning recharge” (cold shower, exercises) I transport to work. My wife helps me to walk from the car. I have an office on the second floor, so it is 63 stairs. I have to hold the banisters and it takes about 8 minutes, but “use it, or lose it” – it’s just the next exercise. I have the keys to lift, but I use them only if I feel really sick. I am sitting at the computer at work, but I exercise every hour. After midday, I eat my first meal. After work it is time to use the lift, the way downstairs is more difficult than upstairs. At home, I do what is necessary, or I do something with the children, or I just rest. After dinner I am going to sleep. During weekends I usually do not exercise, I rest, or we have some family program (trips, games, some work in the house or in the garden, etc.).
