The 2nd ISEH

2018-12-08 Gan Zhang

On Dec 5, Gan Zhang attended the 2nd International Symposium on Environmental Health (ISEH) at Shanghai. He gave a key note speech introducing the newly identified up-PCBs in the atmosphere of Ningbo regional atmospheric background station which was done by Shuduan. It was very cold in Shanghai that day! He also chaired a session on ‘Toxicity characterization of emission sources’ with some ‘old’ friends and excellent young scientists, especially Wang Rong of Fudan-U who published his first paper, while he was a undergraduate student in Peking University, coauthored with Gan, who he haven’t met before!

Wang Rong (left 2) coauthored with me his first paper in his research career, but this was the first time we met. He is an excellent modeler in atmospheric science. Shown here also are Professor Mu Yujing (left 4) of RCEES.CAS and Mao Hongjun (left 5) of Nankai-U.

Kevin Jones and Andy Sweetman visited Guangzhou, again, on teaching for the Belt & Road training course. Kevin was here from Nov 25-28. He gave lessons on PAS (with Gan) and DGT (with Luo Jun and Cheng Hao fro Nanjing University) on the 27th afternoon and the 28th, respectively. Andy paid a rush visit, arriving late on the 30th night and left back on the Dec 1 night. He introduced comprehensively risk assessment. They both are excellent in teaching!

Andy took an excursion in Baiyuan Mountain with Shizhen who has been working with him for 4 years for PhD study in Lancaster. Andy, Shizhen, Liu Xin and Gan were able to have a nice dinner at ‘The Eating Table’ in the Winter Plaza.

Liu Xin visited Lancaster 3 years ago.
