On December 23 morning, we gathered to farewell professor Ahsan Habib, who successfully completed his 9-month CAS PIFI fellowship. We took a lot of pictures, that many of us had developed friendship with Habib. I made a PPT/PDF album to record his commitment with our group and staying with us, since August 03, 2017. We will miss Habib, the always questioning professor and our good friend; and for sure he will visit us in the future.

On 17 July, Professor MD Ahsan Habib received an official letter issued by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres （安东尼奥⋅古特雷斯）, appointing him selected member of the UN Independent Scientific Panel on effects of nuclear war, which includes 21 members in total. Habib was selected both as a senior professor in Dhaka University and a fellow of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huge honor and great task, congratulations to Professor Habib!

During Jan 17-18, the Air-Omics Squad (“爱米小分队”) successfully completed the 2024 Fish Plan (“咸鱼”计划), marking another key achievement in the squad’s ongoing research efforts. This year’s project brought together both experienced team members and fresh faces, including vistors Ruijie, Zixin, Tianshuo as well as freshman participants Xiaosong, Zibing and Siqi. The team was divided into two groups, each wearing SpongeBob and Patrick aprons, respectively. Both teams were well-equipped with gloves, masks, and knives, and demonstrated exceptional enthusiasm and precision throughout the project. The Air Omics Squad showcased
excellent teamwork and execution during this fish plan. We look forward to even greater achievements in the future as we continue to tackle new challenges with enthusiasm and dedication!
