Sancho Lab Christmas outing —wild swings, but a lot of laughs... creative interpretation of golf!

Dinner at Hotto Potto was a win, though. Turns out we are much better with chopsticks than putters. Great food and the perfect way to wrap up the year. 🎄☃️🧑‍🎄

Proudly transitioned to Bluesky! 🎉 Could not think of a better first post than sharing how proud I am of my current and past lab members. Seeing some at the Wellcome Trust PhD Symposium @Science Gallery was such a joy, moments like these remind me how lucky I am to work with such inspiring people! 🤩
