2nd workshop on POPs book writing in Yantai

On September 22-23, a group of us gathered in Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone, CAS, for the second round of discussion on the writing and editing of the book ‘Geochemistry of POPs’ of which the manuscript should be made available to the publication company in the end of this year. Hianhui and Chongguo host the workshop. It was a very successful workshop and clarified further the jobs each of us takes for the next step, and we look forward to the next workshop due on November 11, somewhere…

Baruch Spiro and Tian Linwei

On August 7-10, our old friend Baruch Spiro visited the group once more. Meanwhile, Dr Tian Linwei (田林玮) of Hong Kong University, who worked with Baruch for his PhD work in UC Berkeley came as well. Linwei  gave a talk on the hypothesis of minerals in coal in relation to the lung cancer risk in Xuanwei (宣威) of Yunnan province.   Baruch has been our friend from 2006, which is 11 years! He knows well many people in our group and in the institute.
