This year we returned to Les Diablerets for our annual group retreat. We hiked from the Col des Mosses to Lac Lioson before pausing for lunch, whilst some of the group continued the hike back to Les Diablerets. The theme of this years retreat was work-life balance and how to prioritise effectively in an academic career – after the hike we had an interesting discussion that gave all of us a lot to reflect on.
The group has expanded a lot over the past 12 months, and it was great to welcome Tancrede, Sarah and Maxime who have recently joined/will soon join as post-docs. The PIs cooked dinner and many thanks to Samuel, Salome and Brandon for the cookies and cake that fuelled our competitive spirit in the post-dinner quiz and games…!
