@AndreasHeinem Those are great resolutions Andreas! And you will have to tell us when you achieve them of course.

Happy New Year & welcome back everyone!

If you are working on an #LongTermExperiment site, what is your #LTE goal or new year’s resolution for?
Do you want a specific paper published?
Or maybe you want to complete a particular dataset?
