Dear colleagues,

We have already entered the last winter month and are heading towards spring, which is a beautiful time in Bergen and definitely something to look forward to.

As I have communicated previously, Centre for Nutrition is about to move into the 7th floor at BBB. They are moving these days, and in relation to that there will be some more activity in the corridors and office areas there. One of the laboratories in the B-section has been rebuilt into an office area and will mainly be housing PhD-students and post doctors from the centre. They will also get 4 additional offices in the C-section. They will need to use the seminar rooms at the 7th floor for their meetings. There is already some pressure on access to seminar rooms, so we are looking into ways to make available more space for meetings to compensate for this. I hope everybody will give them a warm welcome and maybe their presence can give new possibilities for collaboration.

Frode
