Ira Virtanen: Year of Possibility 2010

Year of Possibility 2010

New adventures lie ahead and there is no better time to thank all the people who have contributed to me during the year 2009. My research and I have enjoyed the support of many and marvellous individuals and foundations this year. I am priviledged to have met great scholars and attend exciting conferences. Moreover, there is a fantastic year 2010 just around the corner and you never know what the next wave will bring. Following the analogy, best of greetings from New Zealand and happy holidays!
