We do our best to build a good working environment in the lab every day, but it was time for some serious team building away from pipettes and meeting rooms! So we embarked on a 3D virtual reality game to save humanity from a zombie viral infection (not so far from reality…). As the last surviving scientists and guardians of the cure (again, not so far from reality!) we heroically fought hordes of zombies shoulder to shoulder.

After all the adrenaline, sweat and laughter, we could only go for drinks to slow down and get back to reality. We definitely built some trust, practiced communication (sometimes in the case of hysterical screams…) and improved our collaboration skills. But above all, we had fun and got to know each other better, which is the whole point of fighting zombies together. 

Looking forward for our next lab day out!
