- Yesterday, we celebrated the life of Deryck Mills, an amazing colleague and friend who touched so many of us and passed away far too early. A day of emotions; tears, laughter and gratitude.
- Really enjoyed giving a public talk at the town hall in Eppstein, Germany, sharing our research with the local community. Many thanks to the Kulturkreis Eppstein for organising.
- Check out this lovely S-layer review everyone!
