Doctor Degree Award Ceremony
Twice a year, the achievements of the newly educated doctores at the University of Bergen are highlighted and celebrated at the Doctoral degree award ceremony taking place in the Aula. For the Spring semester, this ceremony took place on Friday, with one graduate from the Chemistry department receiving her diploma: Alette Løbø Viken.

Her former supervisor (Doctor parent) and Leader of PhD-education at our department, Kristine Spildo, was present to add significance and share the fruition of their collaboration. If you missed the ceremony yet are curious about it, you may want to take a look at the video (you’ll find Alette some 43 minutes into the movie).
Great Fun at the Bergen City Marathon Relay
Team Chemistry had great fun and represented the department and the faculty in the best of manners in the half-marathon relay competition during the Bergen City Marathon last Saturday. Those rising to the challenge and earning the credit for founding the relay tradition at the Chemistry department may be identified here:
In terms of statistics, Kjemisk placed 137 (193) among the 276 (383) teams competing in the Mixed class (Men, Women and Mixed classes), at 1h 45′ 21″. More importantly, after the race the team members enjoyed refreshments at Casa Grung. While still benefiting from runners high (cf the molecule decorating the team jersey) the team was unanimous that one relay per year is too little! Our minds are set on the relay associated with Knarvikmila, scheduled to Saturday August 31. Anybody who wishes to join, please tell Inger Johanne.
Special thanks to Kristine for door-knocking and helping out, to Bjørn for catering & opening his home & coming up with a working communication plan, and to Giovanni for making the graphics for the team jersey.

Vi gratulerer Lisbeth som KM!
Mange ved Kjemisk institutt vil gjette at KM betyr KjemiMester, men dette er, i det aktuelle tilfellet, kun delvis riktig. Mens Lisbeth ofte er kjemimester eller iallfall HMS-mester på Kjemisk (som betyr mye det samme), bør vi nå også titulere henne som nybakt KretsMester i bridge!! 
Hun oppnådde denne meget høythengende utnevnelsen sammen med sin faste makker — begge kan betraktes og resultatlistene studeres her — og de skal nå kjempe seg videre mot Norgesmester-status i par-bridge! Vi gratulerer og ønsker masse lykke til! En eventuell videre suksess vil rapporteres her.
