Congratulations, Sedat...!

Today it is time to congratulate Sedat (and the rest of the guys...) because it has been published in this last number of april of Clinical Neurophysiology (finally...!) the methodology for monitoring facial nerve in extracraneal part. It is incredible work,  and such a difficult issue is presented ridiculously simple, that it is something that only happens when the author knows everything around the subject as well as Sedat does. Ilustrations, by the way, are gorgeous.  So I would like to be the first in congratulate you, Sedat, because after so many years (years...!) and effort finally your work is recognized. You deserves it. Bea is part of this team, so good for her, too...!

By the way, I have to say that 2013 has been a very productive year for our friend, because its has been the time for several papers, two of them already published and two more accepted in the "waiting line", with even more of our guys as authors... All of that makes me more happy. Good for all of you, guys!

...All the best for you, Sedat, my friend...!
