2nd destination of #China #science tour: #WestlakeUniversity which stood out for how architecture, core facilities, & scale actually work. Centralized microscopy pipelines, unmatched instrument density, & unreal procurement economics. Strong PI discussions, BRILLIANT students, great #Hangzhou vibe.

Visit to #Beijing #China 🇨🇳 #PekingUniversity, the National Biomedical Imaging Center (#NBIC), hosted by Professors Liangyi Chen, Zhixing Chen, and Peace Chen. Over 19 one-to-one technical discussions across imaging, cryo-EM/ET, chemistry, and AI. Heading next to #WestlakeUniversity in #Hangzhou.
