Autumn is here! and events of the month


Autumn colors have descended on the SKKU Natural Sciences Campus. The semester is half done and from tomorrow begins the midterm exam week. Unlike the past couple of years, October this year has been relatively calm in the N Center without large center-wide events. A few things that have happened earlier this month are as follows. In reverse chronological order,

- October 20th (Sat): KSMRM's annual MRI training day for medical doctors was held in Catholic University St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul. Dr. Lee SK gave a lecture on k space. In all, 12 educational talks were delivered by the PhDs in each area of MRI.

- October 19th (Fri): Samsung Medical Center held the 5th Joint Symposium on Radiology with the Osaka University in Japan. This was held at the Cancer Center building of SMC, Seoul, and Dr. Lee SK gave a talk on 7T MRI at SKKU.

- October 15th (Mon): KSMRM staff gathered at a restaurant near the Seoul Train Station to discuss organizing a PhD-only workshop in November.

- October 4th (Thurs): The biannual graduate school open-house event took place in the main library and at the N Center. Student turnout for the BME department was similar to the last year (between 10 and 20).
