Nikolaus says “DANKE”

Even he hadn’t expected Corona to still restrict his travels, but Nikolaus wouldn’t be Nikolaus if he didn’t find a way to visit us anyway. Just like we found ways to do good research again this past year. In spite of the difficulties, we have made good progress, published good papers. We have never had so many Master students in the group, and at the same time so few doctoral candidates. But the quality of the work has not suffered. We have been lucky that some of our former doctoral candidates have continued working with us as post-doctoral researchers for a while. This has prevented a severe brain drain and loss of experience. It would seem that Nikolaus is proud of us, and is saying “danke” for the excellent work and group spirit of this year – again!
