Keeping this group meeting photo to remind us of that year the Pitt crew was zooming.
Congratulations to Dr. Chao and Dr. Liang for 2 exceptional back-to-back PhD defenses this week! Zoom is not the way we envisioned it all those years ago, but you both made the @fullerton_lab proud. Well done guys.
Buddy the Elf is almost as excited about these transport demos for ChE Pitt from Washington State University and the NSF as I am. https://labs.wsu.edu/educ-ate/
