POPs Forum 2022 in Qingdao

On May 17-19, Gan Zhang, Shizhen Zhao and Weiru Wang attended the POPs Forum 2022 held in Qingdao, which has been postponed till 2023 due to the COVID-19. Gan delivered an excellent presentation on POPs in atmosphere. We also met Limin Hu and Tian Li in Qingdao. Thanks for Prof. Tian and Prof. Limin’ s enthusiastic guide, we went a wonderful sightseeing in Zhanqiao (栈桥) and Ocean University of China (中国海洋大学, OUC for short) for nice food and fun hiking at night. Besides, we also do appreciate that Prof. Xinhong Wang and Prof. Jianhui Tang treat us to fancy dinner. All in all, it was a wonderful journey for academic exchanges and old friends gathering together.

Qingdao definitely has the best beer in the world! Say hooray for Qingdao beer!

Say “yeah” to our lives. 😊

Gan’ s posture of 地化人 (specialists in geochemistry) has to be highlighted. 🙂
