In the Duer group, we appreciate that everyone has their particular expertise and and accomplishments, and we expect everyone to contribute equally to the group and also find support in other group members. Most of the group work in one office in the Department of Chemistry, while other members and collaborators are found in Departments across the University. The atmosphere of the group is relaxed and friendly.
The size and composition of the group tend to facilitate tea and cake outings rather than regular pub nights. Cake and various sweet snacks are frequently found in the office. Below are some photos from "group outings".
