"Takee a deep breath " JJ"
era a Professorr van Gulik, dear Thomas, it all started as a short laboratory visit to learn some fj
Dutch,.... I am very much honored that I was given the opportunity to promote under your n supervision.. Thank you for your never-ending support, constructive advice and enthusiasm r* duringg the last years. I am very thankful for the trust that you gave me to "do it my way",
eitherr in Lapland or in Amsterdam. I hope that there will be also joint research projects betweenn Amsterdam and Helsinki in the near future.
Myy co-promoters...
Drr van Vliet, Arlene, your role in my promotion project has steadily grown and expanded, fromm a co-promoter to an all-round crisis manager. Thank you for your boundless compassion,, support and help. I could not have reached this far without you, thank you! Drr Bennink, Roel, working together with you has been one of the highlights of the last years.. It is incredible how you, between your numerous other responsibilities, always managedd to have time for me, even with the shortest notice and even during your vacation.. Thank you!
Memberss of the promotion commission, prof. dr. D. J. Gouma, prof. dr. P. L. M. Jansen,

Prof.. dr. K. Höckerstedt, I am looking forward for my new challenges in the field of researchh with you!
Myy colleagues, co-workers and mates....
Myy roommates, Maarten and Deha, our co-habiting was short but very groovy. I hope 1 seee both of you to promote in the near future! There must be already enough material for att least 4 books 'cause the articles just keep coming...
Myy research colleague's, the old and new; Maarten-Paul, Ivo, Geert, Peter, Annebeth, Sander,, Maud, Suzanne, Paul, Benedict, Nikol, Wilmar, Gwen, Marie-Claire and Jaap. Becausee of you, doing research was actually "not too bad"! No matter what was going on withh the experiments, it was always nice to come to the lab! You have created a special 'of coursee we will make it" atmosphere in the lab that has helped me to pull it through. I wish youu all the best in the future and I do hope that our paths cross some day. A particular thankss goes to Wilmar for the last push over the finishing line...
Ruurdtje,, Lysbeth, Aniska, Tanja, thank you for the pleasant chats, seriously needed distraction,, during last 4 years. Albert, my sport buddy, I hope you eventually will get that well-deservedd trainers place by Ajax and live happily ever after. The offer to join "my" lab inn Finland stands!
Adrie,, you are solely responsible for the incredibly miniscule error bars in my experimental studies!! Over 20 PHx per day, respect! Goos and Henk, you have teached me, better than anyy book, how you should work with animals. Kora, your flexibility and help was crucial to thee accomplishment of many of my articles, thank you!
Andrea,, the super-secretary, without you I would have lost the marbles already a thousand times.. Thank you for all your help and especially helping to arrange my promotion from thee distance! Peter, Esther and Linda, always there to bail me out and back me up!
Friends,, in Amsterdam, Finland and all over the world, you are the safety net in my life.
Youu have been my source of ievei-headedness and reality, always reassuring me that there iss actually life beyond research and lab. Thank you for being there for me! Dear Paivi, I am happyy that you stand next to me while I am defending my thesis. During our years abroad, yourr friendship has become even more irreplaceable for me! Too bad I have to go back alone... .
Myy family, little sister Kaisa, mum and dad, thank you for your valuable encouragement
duringg the last years. Mum and Dad, there are not enough words to thank you for the infinitee and all-embracing support and believe in me, not least during our "little" summer housee project. Chopping some cubes wood always helps in stress!
Finally,, and most importantly, my heartfelt gratitude goes to my beloved Juul, for your ongoingg love and for always being there for me. This book is also yours...
Alll colleagues and friends, even though not mentioned by name, you are not forgotten. Thankk you!
