Abstract

This paper gives an account of some details in the life of one of the most remarkable people in Croatian natural sciences, chemist Fran Bubanović. In 2018, we commemorate his 135^th birth anniversary, 100^th anniversary of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry founded by Bubanović at the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, and a 100 years since the publishing of his popular science book “The Chemistry of Living Beings”. Throughout the years, numerous texts have been written regarding his contribution to science popularization, scientific work, his teaching career, as well as his university textbooks. In this text, we attempt to reflect on some specific moments in his life, as well as present several unpublished documents and photographs donated by his family.
