December 2017Granneman lab celebrating positive outcomes from MRCSRF (Sander) and EMBO LTF (Ross) fellowship applications.
After the Christmas dinner we ended up in our favorite watering hole, the Scottish Malt Whisky society. |
June 2017Granneman lab retreat in York.
Picture was taken using a film that generates very cool and high-quality black and white pictures.

December 2014“Sjoelen” in the pub! Rob brought his Dutch shuffleboard to the pub when we went on a Granneman lab night out. Initially the locals were a bit confused..but after a couple of pints everybody was shuffling away! Not all of the stones landed where they should.
It is obvious who dominated the game....
