Dear readers, it is time for our regular newsletter ! First of all, happy new year ! and the whole group whish you the best for this (already well started) year !
This newsletter will be a bit shorter this time as the period of transition between semesters was as usual focused on reports and applications for funding… Nevertheless, we say congratulations to the students who passed their exams and good luck for the incoming semester !
In January The whole group met for the traditional Christmas/New year dinner. The DSC people have the opportunity to enjoy a fancy steakhouse !

New students joined within the beginning of this year: Alžběta joined for her bachelor studies and we welcomed Mani and Ewen, two French Erasmus interns for 3 months. Chiara, an Italian intern and alumni of the DSC group is back for doing her Master thesis with us !
In March, I had the opportunity to take part of a famous French contest called “Ma thèse en 180 seconds (MT180)”. An opportunity to popularize my thesis in 3 minutes in front of a public of non-scientists. No victory, but made new connections and met new people from different fields, passionated by science popularization as well.
Finally, Martin’s work about photoswitching acylhydrazones has been accepted and published. You can already read it here !
It is the end of this newsletter. We will be back in 3 month with news !
