Last week

Again a rather busy week seems to be ending now. The CDL held a general meeting, which went very smooth and was over after just 45 minutes (a new record). Wednesday I've visited home because of my father's birthday and Thursday Dr. ir. Mark Overhand was giving a 'borrel' after he won the contest for 'best faculty teacher'.

Also yesterday there was this enormous party. The Betagala was being held in 'Het Blesse Paard' in Stompwijk. Just slightly less than 300 tickets were sold, and therefore the ball was almost sold out. This is a great achievement for the organizing committee.

It also was a pretty nice week for science as Elwin and I proved that when you want to make crystals for proteins you shouldn't shake them while dissolving. This caused the proteins to get packed and results in really bad crystals or no crystals at all. While scanning the crystal which we made without shaking we got some very nice results and where able to convert these results to the protein structure of lysozyme.
