3. Are you cooking or baking anything for the holidays?
Yes, I'll be baking some delicious cookies for the holidays. It has become a tradition for me and my colleagues to come together and enjoy a festive baking session. We find it a delightful way to celebrate the holiday spirit and an excellent opportunity to strengthen our team bonds outside the laboratory. The aroma of freshly baked cookies adds warmth to the season, and it's a joyous way to share some festive cheer with those I work closely with.
