Information on research at YorkU Chem!

CO2 level in YorkU exam centre (Sobey’s). After ~1.5h of students entering, it rose to >1200ppm. Much worse than in April..

Happy Lunar/Chinese New Year! 新年快樂! 萬事如意 年年有餘 歲歲平安

A student-centred event for YorkU - Science students with chemistry-adjacent career interests. Snacks and drinks available for those coming in person! If you attend and provide feedback you are eligible for raffle prizes too! Come learn from the experts on Feb 23 from 3-5 pm!

Beautiful glistening trees on campus today. And perfect snowflakes captured a couple weeks ago. Saw some today too. I can think of several chemistry-related questions. 😉

Hoping to see changes/recommendations implemented before becoming a statistic in the leaky pipeline (despite having an extremely supportive partner).

At urgent care clinic for over 2.5 h because a kid stuck a little rock in 4 yo daughter’s ear. 😡😞 Can we please fix the healthcare in Canada?

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Malile (@BrioMali)! 🎉🥳He was the first to step into my (then empty) lab, helped realize many research ideas and has been with me through the good and difficult times. I’m so happy and proud to see the growth of a well rounded scientist!

Beautiful blossoms on campus (for the past few weeks). Should head out of the office and lab more!

Our group is at #CSC2023! Check out: 1- Brian’s talk at 2:40pm Monday in room 110 2 - posters from Yuwei and Bohan Wednesday evening 3- my talk at 12pm Thursday in room 204 (if not in a rush for lunch) It’s the first conference for many group members!

Attending a conference in my hometown means I get to be a tour guide. 😉 Here’s the group at Lynn Valley Canyon! (I did not remember there were so many steps!) A nice end to #CSC2023

Rest in peace #CocoLee #李玟 I remember fondly of listening to her mandarin songs in high school, in the early years of coming to Canada. I always picked her songs at karaoke (and failed miserably). A favourite is the duet - “She cries before sleep” youtu.be/lFZRvwAffmo

Came back to the office this week to these blooms. A good start to the new year? 😉

An interesting tree on campus - pink blossoms on lower branches vs white blossoms elsewhere.
