The award was presented during the joint meeting of the International Federation of Shock Societies in Las Vegas in recognition of his sustained commitment to advancing both the field of shock research and the international scientific community. The Distinguished Service Award honours individuals whose contributions extend beyond scientific excellence to include long-standing service, leadership and dedication to fostering collaboration within the field. Until now, the award had been presented exclusively to researchers based in North America, which makes this recognition a significant milestone.

Congratulations to Marcin on this well-deserved recognition!
