The Pleasant Get-together of AIR-OMICS +

On Sep 26th, the group of Air-Omics + Squad (including Gan, Shizhen, Nigar, William,  Linbo, Shaojun, Lele, Jianchu, Yuwei, Weiru and Yifan) and one fellow (Jiao) representing Organic Geochemistry Squad gathered together to enjoy a spicy but tasty dinner for approaching Moon Cake Festival. The cuisines were so hot and appetizing that we ate up every dish in less than 10 min. We also shared some traditional white lotus with salted egg yolk mooncakes provided by Shizhen. Everyone gave a toast to the whole group and shared their heart-to-heart thoughts about study and life. We had such a wonderful night!

Willaim will go back to Ghana for sampling in the coming winter holiday.
