Farewell Dan!

Here's to Dan, who left Aus today as he got a job back in Denmark.

Dan has been one of the people responsible for bringing me up into the harsh world of chemistry, and he was a great mentor. I owe a lot to him as he was one of the two people in my life who really motivated me to study and do chemistry. I would've never gone this far without his hekp. Nevertheless, his valuable insight during discussions and group meetings will be greatly missed!

All the best to you Dan! Hope to see you in the future! Thanks so much once again for all the inspiration and help over the past year (and your 2nd year chem lectures!).

Towards a greater understanding...

Here a great article about why chemist and biologist do not very often see eye to eye, taken from the RSC website.

Yes, lets hope that this communication gap will slowly decrease over the next few decades....

Hi everyone.... Here's a breakdown of what happened in May 2008:

09/05/2008 - Honours thesis due

22/05/2008
- Honours presentation (~ 25mins including questions)

28/05/2008
- Oral examination (1 hour)

30/05/2008

So much for May.... Anyways, now that we are free (kinda), we will try to blog again... no more MIA sessions.


Cheers!
