I visited Slovakia once, there was a conference and I liked the castles :)
I understand that crazy situation when you have 100.000 $ worth spectrometer, but no pipette tips or similar stuff :(
P.S. Go Peter Sagan! I watched him twice at Paris-Roubaix
Haha, Slovakia as a country is quite nice and Peter Sagan is like our national hero :D
Well, I hope that I will be able to increase the level of science in my country - because our students are pretty smart, but the financing could be better (so they will not leave for better paid jobs).
