Leung Lab @ ARVO 2013

Sylvia and Fai attended the 2013 Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology and presented their work on novel signal transduction for photoreceptor development and using traditional Chinese medicine to treat retinal degeneration. Sylvia received a National Eye Institute Travel Grant and Yeunkyung Woo Achieve Excellence Travel Award to attend the meeting. Sylvia and Fai also interacted with colleagues all over the world during different events including the SERI reception, ARVO dinner with The Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College, and ARVO CUHK-JSIEC Research Networking Evening. More pictures to follow.

Dedicated Purdue students who worked in darkness to bring lights to the world

Getting ready!

Caleb: I saw it I saw it I saw it! Jin: No, you don't.

Biotechnology Mobile Laboratory Education Program in Hong Kong

Dr. William Mak, a good friend and a great role model, has been devoting his career to improving the biotechnology education for primary and secondary students and teachers over the years. He has established the Hong Kong Biotechnology Education Resource center with Sik Sik Yuen Ho Yu College and built a university-level research laboratory to facilitate the process. He has been working on another interesting project recently – a custom-built coach bus that serves as a mobile laboratory for the community. He made me feel proud to be a Hong Kong scientist.

Here are a few pictures of my visit…

: In front of the mobile lab with Dr. William Mak!

: The mobile lab – front view!

: The mobile lab -side view!

: The mobile lab – back view!

: The side of the bus is decorated with nice patterns, and there is a large LCD TV to project the student activities live to the public.

: Dr. William Mak is the driver who is leading the way in the development of biology education for Hong Kong kids.

: An overview of the inside of the bus. I am amazed that it is designed for holding a full class of 40+ students.

: Working stations for the students.

: Every working station is equipped with a LCD TV so that the students can see the demonstration clearly even when they are in the other end of the bus.

: The drawers are all custom built and nicely polished.

: Each working station is very well equipped… a great blessing for the students.

: Teaching our new generation about DNA extraction.

: Teaching our new generation about DNA finger printing.

: The kids will be given colorful lab coats too.

: Dr. William Mak and his teaching podium.

: The audio-visual controllers of the mobile laboratory.

: A high definition camera for capturing the demonstration from the teachers, which will be broadcasted to the LCD screens on top of the working stations, as well as a huge LCD TV on the side of the bus for entertaining the public audience.
