Dear all,
as part of our job as physicists we make a (small) measurement campaign on this newsletter. 🙂
Almost half of you open and read the newsletter which we consider as a real success in these times of floods of emails. We would be interested if you would like to also use other means of information. Would you prefer to read the newsletter on a Facebook page? Follow it on a Twitter account? Comment it online? Receive a paper copy?  A quick reply to us would be helpful ! (You can also “reply to” the newsletter.) Thanks for your input.
