Funny team building(?) time lol

-
A group of us usually go for lunch every Wednesday at this Chinese Buffet in Willimantic. This event happened maybe 2-3 weeks ago, I believe! But this is funny because Dr. Libo made chicken feet!!
If you don't know, chicken feet are considered a snack in China! Dr. Wuxia can attest! Either way, she made it, and she said she tried to make it not "as spicy"!!! 

So Ian, our undergrad senior, decided to take a bite at it! It was funny because it was his first taste of chicken feet! 

(To be honest, it was mine as well!) My parents used to tell me (from Malaysia) that eating chicken feet will result in ugly handwriting! So I never ate! In retrospect, I should have ate them because I would have become a medical doctor!!! :P 
The chicken feet itself is white/beige in color after she cooked it. It was cold and slightly slimy (I'm sorry I do not know how to describe the food here!) But it is an excellent snack in China, and Dr. Wuxia enjoyed it! There was a hint of pepper in there, Ian could take it! But as she had mentioned, she tried to make it less spicy! LOL
Either way, enjoy this pic of Ian biting onto Chicken feet :P 



Also, Dr. Wuxia ate the whole chicken feet clean!!!! Like, not even bones are left really... lol.

Recently, we were contacted by the Journal of Visualized Experiments ( JOVE ) team on showing the procedure for creating the Nano-Matrix composed of Fibronectin and our very own Janus based Nanotubes. This is based on a JOVE paper that was published in May 2020.  We are excited to see that our video will soon be published in the JOVE website. The attached images are three of the authors of the paper! Dr. Yupeng Chen, Dr. Libo Zhou and Anne Yau

It was fun!  Four graduate students (Ian, Anne, Jin, and Allison) with an undergraduate (Aaron) went to BMES 2021 this year, held in Orlando, Florida The weather was HOT! But it was worth it! Did you see the conference venue they held it at? Amazing!  Well, of course, other than that, we did our presentations too!!! Everyone except for Allison did Poster presentation on their respective topics! Allison, our hardworking amazing graduate student (who will graduate soon!! :() was presenting orally at 8AM in the morning, ON A SATURDAY!!!  Of course we all went to her presentation to show our support!! Below was our schedule for the conference and further down, our adventuresssssss in Orlando Florida. Mind you, we were definitely immersed in the conference!

 Recently we had a video shoot with Adam Peri from the Journal of Visual Experiment (JoVE)! We started writing our methods paper since Feb 2022, and it was recently published!! You can find out more about our published paper below!  Fabrication and Characterization of Layer-by-Layer Janus Base Nano-Matrix to Promote Cartilage Regeneration It was written by Maxwell Landolina*, Anne Yau*, Yupeng Chen based on the paper from Libo et al.  Controlled Self-Assembly of DNA-Mimicking Nanotubes to Form a Layer-by-Layer Scaffold for Homeostatic Tissue Constructs We then had a video shoot (and head shots - but not professional headshots lol) to show how we fabricate our LBL JBNm! Videos coming soon, but keep a look out!  I had to take picture of that "ACTION" plaque (I am sorry I don't know what it is really called, but correct me and I can change it up!)  Below is a picture of Max and I!
