The mass of the electron is best determined with hydrogen-like ions in a Penning trap. Binding in an ion removes the error due to the thermal motion of the electron. However, the price is that some properties of the electron are modified by the binding. These changes can be computed in QED but there are interesting complications. We present recent progress in the determination of the g-factor...
