So great to reunite after 10 years! Thanks for the inspiring talk and discussions, @Teru_Okuyama. It's amazing to see the incredible work you're doing and how you're shaping the next generation in Tokyo!
I can't believe it’s already been 10 years since we were postdocs on the 5th floor at MIT. I'm deeply grateful to Sung-Yon @syk_net for inviting me to Korea!!
