Hi Norman,
I left Gothenburg many years ago for Tasmania to do a PhD with you and Kate. It’s one of those decisions I have never regretted. It felt more like joining a family than a research lab. You and Kate has kept the laboratory small in order to look after the lab and everyone working there properly. I think this is a great concept. I had actually met you previously during some of my undergraduate courses when I was an exchange student and it really got me interested in neuroscience. It was a while ago but a lot of what you taught me still feels very relevant and still often helps me in my decisions. You have been a pillar stone in the blood-brain barrier field and I owe a lot of my research career to this. We are all evidence of your success and great mentoring.
So I wish you all the best for future and hope we can still manage to do some projects together.
Joakim
