Yesterday, IPAS’s Science Network Committee brought together the institute’s diverse community through a lively and inclusive potluck event. Organized by Chris Perrella, Lisa Haerteis, and Tiffany Tan, the gathering was a resounding success, with members contributing dishes from around the world.

The spread featured approximately 25 different cuisines, including flavours from Malaysia, Mexico, Korea, Germany, South Africa, India, and many more—a true reflection of the rich cultural diversity within IPAS. The event not only delighted taste buds but also strengthened bonds among staff and researchers, showcasing the vibrant and collaborative spirit that defines our institute.

The strong participation highlighted the inclusive and supportive culture fostered within IPAS, making the potluck a memorable celebration of our global community’s talents and traditions. Kudos to everyone who contributed and made this event a success!
