November 2024 - EMIC Diwali Celebration

Explorer Molecular Imaging Center (EMIC) Celebrated Diwali (also know as Deepawali/Tihar in Southeast Asia) festival on November 8, 2024, by means of a team potluck. Shivani and Atul led the organizational effort and we enjoyed dishes such as pulao rice, jalabi, gulab jamon, onion bhajis, home-baked naan and spiced chickpea salad, amongst others.

Simon’s chicken and paneer curries (made in the best English style) were a triumph, but Ramsey’s attempt at burfi was definitely a work-in-progress – perhaps next time he will dare to actually bring them in to share! Music and a video from Southeast Asia were showcased during the celebration.

A great time was had by all and we look forward to doing it again next year!
