Dear all,

tomorrow is my last day in the VBCF Plant Facility. The last five years, three of which I spent as the Core Technician of the Plant Facility, have been extremely transformative for me. I am so deeply grateful to have had the chance to grow and learn in such an amazing place.

I want to thank especially my amazing team at the Plant Facility, which made this time truly special. I could have not imagined a more understanding, collaborative and supportive team, where everyone jumped to help each other without a second thought, and where we always shared some laughs, even if it could get stressful sometimes. 

And I want to thank all the wonderful and kind people, that made working here everyday so amazing. Thank you for the deep discussions over experiments, the last-minute trouble shooting, the late night talks on the terrace, the smiles to cheer you up on a challenging day, the cheerful moments, the fun conversations over lunch and the memorable Friday evenings. 

This place and especially the people here will always have a very special place in my heart. 

I would love to see some of you tomorrow at the social hour, and hope we stay in contact, so please feel free to reach out to me vie paula.helfenbein@gmail.com and linkedin.com/in/paula-helfenbein :)
