We probably should do this more as a group.
Don’t get me wrong, we do socialise daily, but we don’t document it the way we document our experiments meticulously. So, before people start to disappear for their summer breaks, Wing had the brilliant idea of a lab photo and a meal together.
It was a shame that we couldn’t get everyone in one photo, but people deserve to take their holidays when they want them! So, we gathered up the boffins on two separate occasions and collected photographic evidence of them in full PPE (personal protective equipment, for the uninitiated), thoroughly committed to their research and enjoying it. We then headed off for a meal and a afternoon chat filled with laughter, talking mostly about ‘safe hobbies’.
We really should do this more.
