This morning we left
Groningen in the early morning: the study tour has started!
After a 3 hours drive we
arrived at Münster. Somewhere hidden in the forest we found the
Covance building. We were welcomed by Eberhard Buse, the supervisor from the
company.
Before we
were allowed into the building, we all received a visitors pass and a lab coat.
We were divided in three groups and had a tour around the laboratories and the
animal facilities. In the
canteen we enjoyed a pasta lunch and had the opportunity to talk to some study
directors, of who most had a biology background.
Then the
moment was there for the Covance group: Aad, Marleen, Anita, Luke and Emilia presented
the outcome of their case to a group of researchers working at Covance. They
showed that they have worked hard the past months and provided Covance with a
lot of useful information.
At 4 o’clock
we left Münster by buss, on our way to Bad Kissingen! Four hours later we
arrived at our beautiful hostel: we got the keys to our rooms and there was
served a lovely dinner. Unfortunately Chiel and Chris had to walk to Bad
Kissingen before they could enjoy their dinner. The ATM machine of the hostel
was broken down and we needed some cash money to keep our sleeping place safe. Now
there’s time to chill out, prepare for tomorrows visit to Bad Kissingen and of
course the opportunity to enjoy German beers!
Fun fact: Did you know that The Netherlands
were founded in Münster? The inhabitants of Münster are very proud of this!
There is also a delegation of the Dutch army located at Münster.
