Nutrition Unit's New Year's Dinner

The Nutrition Unit at the Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine is trying to keep a yearly dinner as "tradition". You might wonder what's "special" with it? Well the answer is that our Unit, being the smallest of the Institute and counting on part time researchers as task force, hardly gathers all of us on the same day at the same place! So, it is an asset to actually hold a yearly meeting. The first picture was taken by Dominique Roberfroid and shows Lieven Huybregts and myself.

The second picture actually shows the menu choices, kindly exposed by Dominique and Lieven. Roos Verstraeten is sitting next to, witnessing the strange situation created at that moment. I have to say, the food at the trendy Italian Comcarmenne resto, is delicious. It was a good choice :-)


Then we have of course the big boss: Patrick Kolsteren in a very lively chat with Tom Hoeree. Tom was my office mate for a couple of years, and since October 2006, he is working exclusively for the Master Course in Public Health. We've built a good friendship, and definetly his presence was very much appreciated yesterday.

Last but not least, Lieve de Greef, the second big boss of the Unit caught in a natural posture together with Carl Lachat. Voilà that's a little overview of our Nutrition Unit at the ITG. Coming together is good and healthy.
