Sick children, booking systems and proofs

Your children doesn't stop being sick even if you are a Marie Curie fellow, so this week it was full stop in the lab work. Fortunately the MX-unit at the ITQB has an excellent online instrument booking (and unbooking) system (WikiXtal) which makes it easy to manage your planned lab-activities without generating too much trouble for your fellow equipment users. This Wiki page also possesses all general methods which are being used in the lab, and other relevant information for the group. A very nice system which I think is worth spending time and energy to implement in any research lab!

And finally - ending the week by correcting proofs of a paper which is going to published in Acta Crystallographica Section D: Biological Crystallography very soon. Tedious but pleasant work!

Have a nice weekend!
