With the first warm days of spring finally arriving, a small fraction of our team already took full advantage of the sunshine during lunch break—gathering outside to soak up the mild weather and enjoy a few well-earned moments of relaxation.
Some of us have just returned from snowshoe-based field work in the Alps, where icy winds and deep snow were the daily norm. The contrast makes these gentle spring breezes and sunny skies feel even more special. It’s a welcome change and a great reminder of the seasonal transitions that shape both our research and daily lives.
Here’s to many more sunny breaks ahead
