The aim of the event was to provide an opportunity for students to meet fellow students across different groups within the LMS away from the lab and in a relaxed and fun environment. With the hope to encourage better scientific collaboration between research groups and build support networks for students outside of their lab groups.<\/p>\n<p>25 students came along and were mixed into 4 teams and played 2 games. There was a real range of bowling skills with some unexpected strikes! We had great food and drinks brought to our lanes while we were bowling. Most students stayed on after the bowling had finished to play some of the arcade games at All Star Lanes and enjoy the cocktails on happy hour!<\/p>\n<p>This event was a great opportunity for the students to get together away from the lab and supervisors and have some fun after a long term. It also allowed people to meet some of the new PhD students, who joined in October.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank the Graduate School&#8217;s Postgraduate Community Fund for sponsoring this event and giving the PhD students the opportunity to meet new people across different groups and have some fun! Hopefully this will become an annual social at the LMS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1451\" height=\"922\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1534 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/icpostgrad\/files\/2024\/07\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1377\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1535 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/icpostgrad\/files\/2024\/07\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Lucy Edwardes, Scarlett Brown and Helen Figueira, PhD students from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences at the Institute of Clinical Sciences On the 23rd November the LMS PhD student committee organised a bowling social at All Star Lanes in White City.
