Jian, Kairong, Shrishti and Jianhan attended the annual Biophysical Society meeting
in the beautiful Philadelphia. We celebrated the Lunar Chinese New Year in the best
chinese restaurant of the town, presented some of our exciting results, and enjoyed
the beautiful city. We also reconnected with the Chen lab alumni Erik and Mahdieh,
as well as our collaborators from WUSTL, Buffalo, ISU, KSU, USC, Copenhagen, Van Andel
and others. It was an exciting and memorable meeting!

The lab celebrated Yumeng's memorable four years in the lab together
at Jianhan's house. Yumeng has demonstrated how much one could
accomplish with extreme dedication to research excellence and
tenacity in front of extraordinary challenges. We are all so proud
of her and wish her the best in her next chapter of life and
scientific careeer!
We missed Yumeng so much that she had to come
back to the lab for two more weeks before eventually saying goodbye
one last time after the Feburary lab research update.
