We hosted Department Happy Hour themed "international food festival" (2024/05/10)

Chung lab presented foods from 5 countries (Chille, China, Germany, Korea, and USA) representing where we are from and it was a blast! “Your lab raised Dept. Happy Hour to another level!” someone told us. Certainly, the air-filled smell of pan-fried Korean pancake cooked on spot by Jong-Nam contributed to the scene quite a lot!
