Working from Home....?

-
Hello everyone! Anne here!

How's everyone doing? I have been working really hard on social distancing, but knowing me, an Introvert, this is the exact area of studies that I would excel in!
Amidst all this confusion and tragedy, I have found positivity! That is to excel in staying at home!!! 
Anyway, I am home safe and sound and I hope everyone reading this is too! I just wanted to update that our research lab will be close (hence there won't be any research activity going on) until at least April 22nd. Unfortunately, May Commencement has been canceled, I am very sorry for all May 2020 graduates, we are in such an unprecedented time! I hope the future will hold better things for all of you.

A simple tip on how to work from home and staying alive and healthy!

1. Practice self-care - shower every day, take care of yourself and pamper yourself! Work out if you can just to get yourself moving, so you don't feel cooped up!
2. Get a hobby! No, seriously, get one. It must be tempting to work all the time trying to accomplish all you can but you need time for yourselves too!
3. Hang out with your loved ones that are staying with you. If you are staying home with them, take some time to hang out with them! I love my animals (I have 5 pets, 2 dogs and 3 cats and I am enjoying every minute with them!!!)
Posted below is one of my cats, Theodor, a ragdoll, who is also the youngest at home, being mischievous and cute at the same time!

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

 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!
