Annual Department of Microbiology and Immunology Retreat 2026
Connecting science and friendly competition!
A great time was had on August 26th, as our department gathered at the action-packed WhirlyBall amusement venue in Chicago for a fantastic retreat. Along with engaging science chats, there was also MIIM Department Jeopardy to get to know our colleagues better. Plenty of action was experienced on the WhirlyBall court and bowling lanes. Balls were whirled, strikes were thrown and we all had an absolute blast!
