@LordStryker Well, it's mostly administrative stuff. But with this I still have to dabble with some basic experimental chemistry, which keeps the child in me in good spirits :)
I see you sparked a discussion concerning the contributions of Uncle Al... I for one still think that he could word his answers in a much better way. He seems knowledgeable in some fields, but just can't put it into a concise, legible answer
@tschoppi Its really not worth discussion to be honest. I agree though, some of his contributions seem really good but it isn't consistent.
@tschoppi To address your question, my paper to JPCA was recommended for publication. Will be submitting another one to JPCB in a few weeks and then another one to JPCA a few weeks following that.
In half a year I'll have my BSc, then onwards to my MSc. You sound like a guy I'd really like to collaborate with... You have no plans of seeking a Postdoc position in Switzerland? :)
I think you won't be able to dodge those bullets xD If you're interested you can check out the work that the Reiher group does, they're down the hall from my office...
@LordStryker It's an expensive place. But you'll definitely feel the comfortable life standard. Swiss people are said to be quite distant at the beginning (not the case in my group, but in general) but when you've made Swiss friends, they're in it for life ;)
I've already told you about the superb public transport system. English is a language that virtually everyone is able to communicate in. There is the general "you're from America, therefore you're stupid" assumption among some people, but I guess that's what you'd find anywhere
