Many people have been asking me what sort of place I actually work at, and I have a feeling I haven’t allways been able to answere sufficiently. I guess the institute too feels that a lot of people don’t really know what goes on there. So, to inform the general public they have decided to start a blog where the staff can post, well - whatever they want to. Like all blogs (A new one is started every minute…), it remains to be seen whether someone will actually write something (and how interesting a read it will actually be…) once the initial burst of inspiration that led to it’s creation wears off, or if it will blossom to be filled with (interesting, fun or even usefull) content.
Anyways – there are a few posts there allready, and I might eventually do some posting myself if I’m struck with inspiration. So feel free to check it out!

The result was an excellent story broadcasted in todays program. read about it
