On Tuesday, September 17, the APC lab meeting was one of its kind: Lab members surprised Andrew Oxenham, professor and director of the Auditory Perception and Cognition Lab with wishes for his 50th birthday and a presentation about "special Oxenham" findings on the World Wide Web. As insiders revealed, he easily made his goal "50 before 50", which translates in the research world for 50 publications and 50 citations before turning 50 years old (Andrew might very well already has accomplished the next milestone "100 before100"). Congratulation, Andrew, and a lot more successful years with engaged research lab members!
