As a multi-cultural group @Leibniz_INM, Christmas is mainly about having fun together. So, this year, we partied with a potluck lunch, Quiz by @Vrunvrun3, Secret Santa, Pictionary, Dinner in Saarlouis & late night visit to their magical Christmas Market! Memories were created!

Such a simple yet powerful gesture to appreciate the unsung heroes of the institute and spread some joy! Hanging a note there filled me with a warm, playful joy 🤩
Our science thrives on collaboration & support from all at INM. So, this season, we're adorning our #Christmas tree with Gifts of #Gratitude - short notes from anyone thanking those who brighten their lives at work.✨ That's our Christmas Tree-bute! #AcademicTwitter #researchers
