Propositions

1. Strength lies in diversity; thus, collaborative research projects are the best way to move science forward. (This

thesis)

2. It is a good practice to confirm initial research findings via multiple analysis techniques. (This thesis, Chapter 5, on the

multimeric structures of NGTs)

3. There are three stages in scientific discovery. First, people deny that it is true. Then they deny that it is important. Finally, they credit the wrong person. (Bill Bryson, “A short

history of nearly everything”. In the field of glycobiology: on the existence of bacterial protein glycosylation)

4. Whereas research projects rarely unfold as planned, the serendipitous discoveries made along the way often lead to exciting results. (This thesis, Chapter 5 and Chapter 7)

5. It is important to understand how software performs automatic data analysis to avoid false positives and false negatives. (This thesis, PEAKS software)

6. Science communication is one of the best ways to develop presentation skills and put the research into perspective. 7. Many more exciting discoveries could be made if grant
