In fact this year's spring semester started from late February. The campus atmosphere is still somewhat heavy and subdued because of the pandemic, but the number of students and other pedestrians on and around the campus has clearly increased from a month ago, and also when compared to about this time last year. More classes are being offered in-person, and the degree of fear for the unknown appears to be less intense. The Lab now has officially 5 graduate students, after welcoming Jun-Ho Kim in to the incoming class. To celebrate this and other events (see News for publication updates), back-to-back small-group lunch meetings were held (as mandated by the local health authority) in the past week. May this semester be another successful one with continued progress in work and personal developments for all.
