Seventh Solstice Celebration

Yup, 7 years running now. Obviously, a completely different team, but a wonderful one. The usual potluck, eggnog, the usual secret santa, the usual “Alex is the worst at guessing who got him a gift”. The kids look forward to it so much, this year they were rehearsing greeting people at the door (and this year, E & A made the main!). But this year is definitely unusual for those who aren’t there; that first wave of PhDs that have all left the lab… and in a week, Rabia will be done too! Next year is going to be very different.
