Personal Development

Gather your family or housemates around a laptop and join in on this hilarious and interactive comedy  show and cooking class!

Comedian/Chef Mack Beats and Comedian/Diner Sam Bear zoom into your kitchen to lead you through a step-by-step culinary experience where you’ll learn to take a basic recipe for Swedish Meatballs (vegetarian substitution available) and make it something divine! We will also be pairing this culinary delight with a refreshing cocktail, as you learn how to make a Cucumber Mint Elixer. I mean, what more could you ask for?!?!

CAN YOU ESCAPE IN TIME? Form a group with family, friends, or labmates (non-postdocs welcome!) or sign up individually to take on “The Gamer,” the CIA’s most wanted assassin.

Take a break from work to play 4-5 rounds of challenging games and trivia with your fellow postdocs! Games may include old favorites like Family Feud, Cranium, Scattergories, quick thinking games, Jeopardy, logo trivia, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader, and many more! What a great way to meet other postdocs in a fun and invigorating way! Games will be different in each of the Games & Trivia sessions.
