Personnel changes

Diego Rodriguez got a new position in the Maschhoffs company and he will start working with them this February 2025. I want to thank Diego Rodríguez for the moments shared and the lessons learned during these more than 10 years in which you have been as an excellent visitor scholar, student and researcher. This goodbye is not easy, but I hope you take with you the best memories of our laboratory and we wish you the best, and a lot of success in your new position. Thank you for making this job an unforgettable experience! We will miss you.
