Sometimes, the best way to recharge is to step away from the lab and enjoy some sunshine with great company. That’s exactly what we did during our long-awaited group retreat.

We spent the afternoon by the pool, leaving our work behind and diving into a mix of relaxation and fun. A delicious barbecue lunch set the tone, followed by card games, music, and lighthearted teambuilding activities that brought us closer together. Of course, pool time was a must - perfect for unwinding, sharing laughs, and soaking in the warm sun.

It was a wonderful reminder that taking a pause to connect, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company makes us stronger as a team. Sometimes, the best discoveries happen outside the lab - around good food, fun games, and the refreshing blue of the pool.
