Farewell and Good Luck to John
We bid fond farewell to John Fletcher who is taking up a fellowship position at the University of Gothenburg. John joined the group as a PhD student in 2001 and progressed to Post-Doc in 2004.
In Gothenburg he will be collaborating with Andrew Ewing’s group who have a range of SIMS instrumentation and will be working on biological cells and tissue. We expect to retain a strong collaboration with John.
Goodbye and Good Luck!
Welcome back Felipe
This week we welcome back Felipe Kessler from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil who will be with us for 12 months as part of his PhD training in SIMS. Felipe, some of you will recall was with us for a short visit in the Autumn. Those with longer memories will be interested to know that Felipe’s PhD supervisor is Daniel Weibel who was a Post-Doc in the group in 2000-2002.
