Photos from the past

This section has also been revamped! I emptied the shoebox of photos and selected the best ones – this time we go back 20 years. One of the sections was “Department on display” and in February 2005, the Finance Department was in the picture. Something else we don't know more about now is the Star Award – Miranda Klein brings with her a funny anecdote about it. ​​​​​​​

Je kunt je nu, anno 2025, toch niet voorstellen dat je in 2005 nog geen foto’s met je mobieltje kon maken 😉

Back to the seventies

Star Award

Miranda: "Marko and I received a Star Award from Michel Kros for working late overtime and handling OOS matters well. Also meant symbolically because QC had worked overtime before to handle urgent samples. We thought it would be a nice idea to pool the receipts and go out to dinner together with the team. After all, we are not the only ones who sometimes work overtime. The seven of us went out for dinner at Jills in Leiden. We had also invited Michel, but unfortunately, he could not be there but of course, we did toast him. Armed with Hein's (QC-support) digital camera, we captured everything!"


Surely you can't imagine now, in 2025, that you couldn't take photos in 2005 with your mobile phone 😉

Do you have...?

...photos of your work from “back in the day”, of colleagues from back then, of the buildings or of a party back then? Look them up and send them to theJJIM.mag@its.jnj.com. The more and the older the better!


Please write who is in the photo and where it was taken. If you know a special story to go with it, that's even more fun.
