Dear Colleagues,
the ECTI conference at the beginning of the month has been a great success with an impressive scientific programme, a wide international audience with so many young people, a wonderful location, and sunny weather ! The only cloud in the sky is the gender ratio of 9:1, which does not seem to evolve over the years. Ion trapping is such an exciting field, I’m sure that you have many convincing arguments and make every effort so that your next PhD student is a woman !
Martina Knoop
