After a brilliant regular season, the Swagasaurous Rex made it to the playoff final where they played against a team from the Movassaghi lab. After trailing 2 sets to 1, and supported by the other lab members, our team managed to tie the game and finally pick up a narrow victory after an intense fifth set. Congratulations to all: Silvia, Jon W., Alex, Team Captain John G., Jan, Michael, Markrete and Kelvin!

After a two-year stay, Duncan leaves the lab and goes back to the Netherlands, where an other year of postdoctoral work awaits him at the Eindhoven University of Technology. We'll miss a rare example of a physicist brave enough to venture into an organic chemistry lab, and an imaging expert. Farewell Duncan!
