Dear all,
this remains a newsletter for scientific information and not a policy forum. However, the recent decision on net neutrality will also affect our working conditions. Congress can overrule the FCC vote to repeal net neutrality. Please consider to sign one of the ongoing petitions.
Hopefully, 2018 will be nicer, brighter, more successful for everybody. Until then, enjoy the X-mas holidays at home or the quiet time in the lab ! Happy holidays !!
