What is a non-scientific fun fact about you?
Although I am 1,70 m tall (so not tiny) I can buy my shoes in the children section. I am not mad about this at all, because most of the shoes look the same but are cheaper.

What is your research about and what MS instrument are you using?
...and when I (hopefully) find interesting interactions I will be using HDX-MS (using a TIMS-ToF Instrument) to find out where in the protein these take place.
