Dear all,
just a brief reminder that the newsletter is in principle sent in the last days of a month, so if you wish to have your job annoucement to be included, please let us know by 25th. From statistics, we can tell you that the “open” rate of the newsletter has slowly increased from 35 % to over 50%, which means that over 400 ion trappers will see your annoucement. All other annoucements, events etc. are welcome !
Best regards,
Your editorial team
