I, (Anne), kinda gave up a couple of years ago, because I never seem to get it done by end of the year. But I am willing to try to set a goal for myself this year, academically as well as personally! New Year is also a wonderful time of the year and the perfect time to wish everyone well. A New Year is like a blank book and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself! Every year-end marks a new beginning! I wish everyone a Happy New and Fulfilling Year of 2020 (and many years to come) How was Winter Break so far? We hope it has been a great one! It didn't snow much other than the couple times before the winter solstice, but we heard more snow is coming since the real "winter" is here (January/ February?) Everyone in the lab is working hard thi

Hello Hello everyone! How's it going? The month of November passed by real quick, IMO. I think it's because of all the assignments and exams as well as break that made the time passed by fast. So now, winter break is here! How was everyone's finals? Are you getting your expected grade? I sure hope I get A+ on all my classes! With winter coming, please be careful out there. The past month has been snowy and rainy quite a lot. Today 12/17/2019, the weather was wintry mix of freezing rain. It literally rained ice! How crazy is that?! I've never seen it before, and it was a little scary to experience tbh! The road were slippery, and there was not enough snow for the snow plow to come and plow the snow. The only thing can be done is putting LOTS OF salt on the road, which in turn, can ruin your car and the road itself! :( I wish everyone a great winter break and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Don't be let down by the clammy weather, enjoy the snow, enjoy and shorter day time, but

It is common for a research group to keep cells frozen in the tank! Recently, Jin decided to unfreeze his cells so he can subculture it. I decided to take videos and pictures of the cells coming out of the liquid nitrogen tank.  After listening to the Science Vs podcast, they did many commercials on Nitro Cold Brew by Starbucks,  I just wanted to show you just HOW COOL liquid nitrogen is (pun intended!)  This is a short 3-second video to show how cold it is. Remember, cold air submerge while hot air rises. It is -320 F, very cold and you need to have a pair of hugeeeee gloves to handle the cold! NEVER handle it with your bare hand!
