Hello everyone!   As Christmas is approaching rapidly, it is time again for the legendary annual Christmas Party of the Early Career Researchers (Mittelbau) at the department! Keeping up with traditions, we are looking forward to celebrate with you on the afternoon of Friday, December 12! For those eager to start early, there will be some Glühwein at the Brown Bag, and the highlight of the academic year, the annual minigolf tournament, will take place in Y 312 from 15:00 onwards – a big shoutout to Summer and Maren for hosting it!  We will take care of a basic supply of Glühwein and a few cookies but it would be wonderful if everyone contributed something to eat or drink to the event pot-luck style. Feel free to extend the invitation to all members of your working groups (regardless of status), as we want to make the event a bit more inclusive compared to earlier years. We are looking forward to swinging our minigolf clubs and raising our glasses/Glühwein cups with you next week!    All the best, David & Philipp
