The Mattila lab embraced the holiday spirit in a thrilling way this year—by battling it out in an intense game of LaserTag! The competition was fierce but the fun was absolutely unmatched. It was the perfect opportunity to come together, recharge, and celebrate the season as a team. Here’s to more unforgettable moments like these! 🎄✨🔫
