Helsinki|university of Helsinki
When Marja-Liisa Riekkola was elected professor of chemistry in 1987, visitors to the university thought she was the professor’s secretary. So masculine was the world of chemistry professors at the time. Now that he is retiring, Riekkola has his say on the state of the university.
DOCTOR’S HAT is a funny revelation. It is reminiscent of the opacity of the Moomin Priest on the one hand, but of academic dignity on the other.
Now such a top hat is an Iron Maiden legend, a heavy singer Bruce Dickinson off.
A long hair in a dark suit stands in the office of an airport hotel in the middle of the biggest celebration in the academic world, a promotion. Or actually the promotion took place half a year earlier, in the spring of 2019, but now the ceremonies are being performed again in honor of Dickinson. The soloist did not get on the right day.
