Christmas party — a tradition in the making

The departmental Christmas party — Julebord — is on a winning streak! Thanks to heroic effort from the NMR and didactics divisions, and Malgorzata and Mildrid in particular, drawing from the wisdom embodied in the eminent party guide prepared last year by Mali, and a generous turn-out of party-minded chemists, it is safe to declare the Julebord last Thursday a great success! IntegrerBar was carefully and appropriately decorated in the colors of the season. The eloquent Olav Audun greeted, entertained and guided each and one and Chemistry’s own seasonal choir – the Off-ke(y)tones – served great entertainment and cultural delicacies – matched in quality and diversity only by the marvellous food contributed by all the guests in this hotpot event! After even the sweet teeth among us had had our fill, chemistry’s own quizmaster Bjørn took the floor — great expectations were met with equal fun and excitement  — congratulations to all groups getting the composition of aqua regia correct! The picture left-to-right: The Julebord, Off-ke(y)tones, tired but extremely pleased organizers, Kjersti and Emily provding samples from the opera Othello.

According to Olav Audun, it takes three occurrences in a row to make a tradition. The last quiz question is obviously which division (faggruppe) gets the honour of turning the chemistry Julebord into a tradition?
