I just wanted to show you all what some researchers in my main group at the university have achieved. They have manged to publish 3 independent papers in one issue of Nature including the front cover. This is truly a great and unique achievement . I need to say that I am not a part of this group and have nothing to do with the papers at all except that i know them because the group belongs to a main group which I also belong to. The main group is a X-ray crystallography group. X-ray crystallography is a very exciting and still evolving field that have supplied us with almost every structures of macro molecular molecules we know to this day.
I don't know if anyone here knows how big a deal this is in the science community but now you at least have the chance to see a bit of it and judge it yourself.
a bit of info:
"The papers present structural and functional studies of key members of the Ion Pump superfamily and are a large step forward in our understanding of how to create and maintain the electrochemical gradients that are a prerequisite for life"

of course there exist more links but for the moment they are all in danish.
