Dear Colleagues,
We optimistically wrote a few weeks back that spring is coming, but it now seems like the sensations of spring in the air have temporarily been postponed. Let’s hope that the weather will catch up with the calendar in the weeks ahead.
Henriette Aksnes was awarded the Meltzer prize for young researchers on March 8th, a very deserved recognition of her well-focused, high-quality effort in research over many years. Congratulations Henriette!
Olga Therese Ousdal was recently awarded the prize for best pre-clinical teacher by Medisinsk fagutvalg. Congratulations to Olga Therese for this prize, which is a great recognition by the students of her skills as teacher!
I would also like to welcome Martha Enger as new group leader for the Translational Cancer Research group. She is taking over as Rolf Bjerkvig now has retired, but we are very happy that Rolf will still be active in research at the department as emeritus.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone dealing with sensitive data to ALWAYS use appropriate storage solutions. For sensitive research data, UiB has a solution called SAFE, which is a good option for most of us to use for storage and processing of such data. It is very easy and straightforward to get a SAFE account, so please do so if this is or could be relevant for you.
Please read more about the SAFE solution here: SAFE brukerveiledninger | IT-avdelingen | UiB
