On November 25, the members of the Soft Matter Lab and of the Biological Physics Lab joined for the Digital Christmas Lunch 2020.

This activity has been held in substitution of the traditional Physics Department Christmas Lunch, which this year cannot take place in the usual format because of the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.

After the usual group meeting, which is held online on Zoom since the beginning of March 2020, the two groups shared a common lunch, in respect of the current recommendations of the Folkhälsomyndigheten, which do not allow public gatherings with more than 8 people.

Several group members joined from their homes. The group members involved in experimental work, who, in any case, had to be present in the respective labs, joined the group lunch from various rooms in Soliden, to comply with the current rules of social distancing.
