The years are flying by, mysteriously faster in old age than in youth, and the eminent Czech analytical chemist Professor Jiří Barek turns 75 in October. He is only 25 years younger than the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Charles University, which this year celebrates one century of its independent existence. Since his student days, Prof. Barek has spent his entire professional life at this department. Five years ago, on the occasion of Prof. Barek's seventieth birthday, a series of celebratory articles were published in Chemicke Listy, where almost everything was said about the life of the celebrated scientist (Chem. Listy 113, 635-638 (2019)), and so it only remains to recapitulate the next five years of his prolific life.
