On Jun 11th, after taking photos with all the teachers and students, three graduates –Zhang Jiyun（张霁云）, Wang Shuang（王霜） and Zhang Ruiling（张瑞玲） feasted the whole group on tasty Hunan cuisine. We sang while enjoying the excitement and went back after enjoying ourselves to the full. School’s out, memories are past. Don’t ever doubt our friendship will last. Congratulations to three graduates!

On May 31th, Weiru got involved in the activity to popularize environmental scientific knowledge to primary students, which was organized by Huanghua Primary School. That was a sunny day and kids were super cute that they put on performances including taekwondo, sing and poetry recitation. They were so brilliant that I could ignore the intense heat of summer.
Based on the story of DDT, Weiru designed a 剧本杀 game to let the students experience the whole process of scientific research, including pointing out the problem, designing sampling campaign, lab work and even putting forward controlling measurements. It was far beyond our imagination that kids at their age could easily clarifying the meaning of POPs, biodegradation and extraction (feeling proud of them!). I am more convinced that China’s scientific research will have a bright future!
Kids under the sun and buildings with pretty paintings.
Amazing taekwondo performance.

He was answering the question about how to select a representative sampling site. 
They were all very concentrated and enthusiastic.
