RAtreat

a few weeks ago our research centre held a retreat for RAs which was fun (hence, a RAtreat). we went to north straddie to learn about how to get jobs once the government shuts down funding for chronic inflammatory diseases, and also be confused by an interminable lecture on statistics. random.
luckily we had great weather, and a lot of free time to explore the island




















































also we all participated in team-building exercises...such as beach cricket... and soccer....



























...although during this day 5 toes were broken, an impressive effort. methinks we're all just a *little* too competitive!

beach time is always time well spent...
right weber??














adi shows us his stuff














the angels














they treated us well, good seminars, free time, seafood dinners..... [drool]














....and the setting made a few scientists even happier....
(christine and her boyf)














...but then it was time for our 'class' to head home













we will remain vigilant to keep a lookout for any jobs on the horizon....
