Dear microscopists, we're almost there now, at the Christmas break, and many of you are already away. Over the holidays of course the FILM crew needs a rest as well, I will be away from tomorrow, Mark from Thursday and Steve from Friday, when the College closes. If anyone wants to use the microscopes, they will be accessible by swipecards, but be warned that the building will be pretty cold. And before we leave: We hope you had a good year, got good work done and, most importantly, have enjoyed it! In the name of the FILM crew I wish you a happy Christmas - or whatever you call the celebration when life gets brighter again - and a good start into a hopefully also happy new year.
