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

@agbrolo Thank you for having me! Enjoyed the stimulating discussions and the hospitality. So many new ideas to try in the lab!
Visiting Victoria also brings back nice childhood memories.

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”

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

[Jennifer Chen @jchen_lab]

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!

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

[Jennifer Chen @jchen_lab]

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!

[Jennifer Chen @jchen_lab]

Great talks also from Samantha (@chriscaputoTO), Chalisa (@TVandenBoer) and Mahya (@jchen_lab)!

Thanks also to the support from @JAWijngaarden

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?

[Jennifer Chen @jchen_lab]

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

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. 😉
