Laboratory staff not only work together, but often spend their free time together. Joint hikes in the mountains (for example, at the resorts of Krasnaya Polyana during project shifts at Sirius) are quite popular.
A lot of employees are fond of volleyball, and sometimes they all manage to play volleyball together. Sometimes we also play soccer. Recently, some of the staff has become involved in tennis. In general, it is quite popular to explore the sights of new cities together, where employees find themselves during participation in various events such as scientific conferences.
The team is very friendly and often work and leisure are inseparable. For example, discussion of serious scientific issues may well take place while climbing the Rose of Peak as well as during a game of pool table. In general, most laboratory staff members have some sort of sporting hobby in one way or another.
