The lab just returned from our annual lab retreat- this year in a new location! Traditionally the retreat is held amid the white sands of Hyams beach, but this year we opted for a trip up north to Nelson Bay. In the spirit of new traditions, Jacqui and Ann invented a new game- Science Taboo. Gameplay is the same as normal Taboo, but with science terms (and a few accounting terms courtesy of our token accountant).

In keeping with old traditions, a massive amount of Middle Eastern food was prepared by James, Vania, and Taylor and many friendships were sacrificed over rounds of Uno. All in all, a great time was had by everyone and we’re already keen for next year!

Enjoy a few photos from the festivities and various beach walks we went on. Nellie in particular was ready for her close-up and we’re looking into finding her a modelling agency.
