Message from Lucienne Coolen:

"As you (maybe) already know I will leave EURANDOM from June 1 for a new challenging job within the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology.
Since it is impossible to say thanks to everyone in person, I would like to say THANK YOU by this message, for the pleasant collaboration over the past years.
EURANDOM was a wonderful place to stay and with great pleasure I took care of many workshops, guests and seminars.
Never a boring moment with a great opportunity to meet numerous interesting people from all over the world.
Current and future activities will be taken over by Patty Koorn. Her telephone number is 0031(0)40-2478103, e-mail: Koorn@eurandom.tue.nl.
Maybe we will meet in another setting in the future; I wish you all the best.
Lucienne Coolen"
