Once again, our annual lab retreat was celebrated at the Residencia UPM, a great place in the mountain, just outside Madrid at Sierra de Guadarrama. It was a perfect environment to enjoy some fun teambuilding activities, and get to know our coworkers research in innovative ways. We could also see the progress of our PhD students, and welcome the new members of our lab. Moreover, we had the chance to talk about mental health at work and in the research environment.
