On Friday 11 September, Nordita staff came together for a day of sport, reflection, science and time together.
The day began with padel at Ascaropadel in central Stockholm, where many of us tried the sport for the first time. It was a real workout, and a lot of fun!
In the afternoon, invited speaker Åsa Burman led a session on work-life balance in academia, which gave us the opportunity to reflect on stress, effectiveness and how to create the conditions we need for a sustainable working life.
The programme continued with a scientific talk by Mason A. Porter on complex-weighted networks and quantum networks. Porter recently joined Nordita’s faculty as a professor.
Finally, we wrapped up the day with dinner at Proviant, followed by dessert and snacks at Nordita, where the after party of course included the traditional, and lively, round of Pictionary!
