Abstract
As a senior scientist I have had many fulfilled research years during the time 2011-2023. In this paper I want to highlight the way I was able to turn a problematically perceived situation, after being a retired scientist, by finding a new way of doing research that is still ongoing today. I am writing about this to encourage other scientists not to give up when facing a situation of being turned down when applying for funding or an academic position or being a pensioner. I also want to strike a blow so that managements at institutions within universities and colleges as well as ministries and politicians should see senior scientists as a research and mentoring resource in the future that must be taken care of, utilized and given reasonable research opportunities.
