Balloons on the walls, bubbles in the glasses, cupcakes and happy employees. The atmosphere was at its peak when the office of the Department of Laboratory Medicine held an Open House.
– We wanted to show where we are now that we have moved to new premises and that everyone should feel welcome to contact us, says Lhinn Holmbergh, administrative manager.

Tell me, how did it turn out?

– It was a very pleasant atmosphere with visitors from the many different research areas of the Department. We served some goodies and everyone had the opportunity to go on an enlightening tip round that ended with a tiebreaker question where it was a matter of guessing the number of items in a glass jar (472 was the correct answer). It was both fun and interesting to talk to everyone who came and visited us, and to show off both us and our new premises.

The highlight of the party was when Lhinn Holmbergh officially opened the office by cutting the red ribbon, and not with just any scissors...

– It was the same pair of scissors that both the Vice-Chancellor and The King had used to cut red ribbons at LU," she says.

Wondering about who won the quiz? So did Magnus Abrahamsson, congratulations!
