Safety First!

Today we were introduced to the first of several steps of IBS (and EU) bureaucracy. I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say we’re prepare for any disaster that may occur and are ready to dial 18 at the first sign of trouble.

After the safety training we took a tour of the labs. I knew the Channels group at IBS from their publications on Ion channel-receptor hybrids, but today I learned how far reaching there science is and how many interests we had in common. We talked for hours (editors note: this continued on for several days due to the sheer volume of our scientific overlap). This will be a very exciting place to work for the short term and the prospects for future collaborations are greater than I had expected. We have a chance to do something special here – thanks ACS!
