IPHC symposium
This year, the IPHC Symposium was held at Novotel, and it was an event filled with a variety of presentations, including plenary lectures, graduate student excellent papers, poster presentations, young scientist oral presentations, and ExCool presentations. One of our lab members, Suhwan, gave a presentation for the graduate student excellent papers and proudly won the gold prize! Yuseon shared the progress of his project through a poster presentation, and there was literally a long line of people eager to hear from him! He ended up winning the bronze prize. Wani also delivered a plenary lecture on “pain” and shared his research perspectives, which was both insightful and engaging.
It was a meaningful opportunity to hear about research from diverse fields and gain valuable insights into various areas of study.
CNIR new year’s Event
Happy New Year! CNIR held the 2025 New Year Event at Novotel, and it was a fantastic event. The dress code was “gold and white”. The party featured a touching opening ceremony and a delicious buffet that everyone enjoyed. First and foremost, Hongji’s twinkling hosting as much as her golden costume was absolutely amazing! Sadly, we didn’t win the lottery prize, but we’re already looking forward to the next one. Maybe next time, luck will be on our side!
Cocoan MT
Cocoan went to our first MT in Daebu-do! We prepared a variety of programs to make it meaningful. We took time to share the current state of our academic achievements and ongoing activities that shape our lab culture. It was truly meaningful to reflect on Cocoan’s past 7 years. Afterward, we enjoyed a barbecue dinner, and thanks to the skillful barbecue experts, it turned out to be an amazing meal. We then had a blast with several team speed games, a pop quiz, and the Cocoan awards. We bet that we became closer than ever after this MT.
Through this MT, we hope that all of the Cocoan members feel a stronger sense of connection to the lab and are inspired to conduct even better research for the lab’s future:)
