As a multicultural team, it is always wonderful to learn from the traditions of our team members. Ilse (Elisabeth) Haisma said it so well below - bringing together our diverse cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds strengthens us as a team.

One of the things I love most about working in a biotech environment, like Leyden Labs, is the diversity of people and experiences we share every day. This week, our colleagues from Singapore are visiting, and they brought a wonderful tradition to the office: celebrating the end of Chinese New Year with a ceremony known as Yusheng. A tradition where the team comes together to mix and enjoy a salad while making wishes for prosperity and success in the year ahead. It was amazing to learn about this custom, as well as hear about why the Year of the Snake promises to be a fantastic year ahead! Having the chance to connect with colleagues from around the world and expose ourselves in different cultural traditions is such a great part being part of a multicultural team—and a reminder of how unique this industry truly is. This way we can learn from each other and create an optimal environment to grow, not only as an individual but also as a company. Looking forward to learn about the next tradition! #LeydenLabs #Biotech #Diversity
