Time for a summer break!

After a very productive spring semester and a hard work that the whole team has done, its soon time to have a summer holiday break! Especially, since the wheather is exceptionally warm and sunny now! Before the relaxation, we usually try to clear up the tables, meaning going through also fridges and freezers from the samples that have been stored just in case. So our technician Tiina, did some great work today, and calculated that approximately 2000 HPLC vials was discharged. Well not totally discharged, as we want to be as greenish as possible, we re-cycle vials (wash them), and only the inserts (small glass tubes inside the vials) and caps are disposed. Anyway, that also means that she has produced at least 2000 new data points during the past months for the rest of us to be analyzed! 😅 For me, the clean-up has meant more of finalizing project reports etc., but also time to re-think how to continue from here. There will be many new things happening during the next 6 months, so I can't wait to see them to be realized.

But before that, have a great summer and let's get back with fresh energy in August!
