Technical problems and monitoring visit

It has been quiet here for some time now.... We have had some problems with the protein purification due to some technical issues, thus we are a couple of weeks behind schedule :-( This made us postpone the planned EPR experiments, which may only take place in September now. We'll see. However, instead of the EPR we will try to perform Raman spectroscopy - another cool technique which also allows us to study the state of the metal centres in my proteins.

It is also clear that the ITQB will be visited by a project officer from the European Commision on July 12th. The aim of the visit is to monitor both administrative and scientific aspects of my Marie Curie fellowship. It will be an interesting day I think, both for the officer and for us, and we hope he will return to Brussels with positive impressions from his visit :-)
