There’s a lot going on these days. I don’t quite know whether it is right to congratulate Ståle on his new job, but would rather thank him for taking on the difficult task and the great responsibility of leading the department in the coming years. Ståle cannot solve BIO’s problems alone, we must solve them together, and with help from the faculty.
