Abstract

First of all I would like to express my appreciation to the MRS for the opportunity to address this symposium. I am especially pleased to be speaking alongside Charles McCombie and Soren Norrby, who have both made me feel welcome whenever we have met in the past. I have been more active in Sweden over the last few years, as Soren will know. Perhaps it is now time I turned my attentions to Switzerland as well.
