The institute barbecue was a great evening filled with good food, refreshing drinks, and lots of fun! We enjoyed chatting with colleagues, sharing a few laughs, and making the most of the relaxed atmosphere. With plenty of delicious food and good company, it was a lovely event for everyone to enjoy.

We took a little break from the lab and got creative at a pottery-painting session! It was a fun afternoon of colourful ideas, questionable artistic decisions, and plenty of laughs. Everyone got to put their own spin on their piece, making it a relaxed and memorable way to spend time together outside the lab.

As a Christmas get together we booked a guided tour through Göttingen and learned about the formation of our university and traditions that used to happen for students. For example, did you know that the city of Göttingen has a law that forbids kissing the Gänseliesel?? We did neither! If you wanna learn more fun facts like this we can highly recommend this tour.

A little walk over the beautiful christmas market later we then met the Shaib group from our institute for dinner at restaurant. As a small christmas present round we did a white elephant with a lot of laughs about the different gifts.

This was a really nice evening together!
