This week, the Vancouver ScholCommLab packed things in early and hit the bowling lanes. Team bonding, apparently, is best achieved by participating in competitive individual “sports.”

Somehow, glow in the dark bowling felt a lot more high tech when we were 9.

Alice’s face expressed what many of us felt by the end of the night….

Each of us had their own unique strategic, from granny-style bowling to a carefully orchestrated gutter-bounce approach. We had a great time—and learned some important things along the way:

  1. For some reason, bowling involves only five pins in Canada (our international lab members are appalled.)
  2. Juan’s Twitter handle was inspired by his bowling nickname… and not the other way around.
  3. We are far better researchers than we are bowlers—at least, we hope so!

We finished up the night with some good food, music, and, of course, a bunch of big smiles.
