Online drinking party was held for this new academic year
Finally, the academic year 2020 has begun!
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we cannot hold the kickoff party as usual.
Thus, an online drinking party was held.
More than expected, 13 people in total participated in the drinking party!
Despite the remote participation, we enjoyed delicious dishes and drinks and got excited.
On the other hand, because it’s remote and easy to participate, there was someone participated with his bed hair (lol)
I know things must be so tough these days due to the COVID-19.
That’s why we should keep healthy, and have a positive attitude towards the new academic year!
A scaled-down graduation ceremony was held in our lab
Due to the coronavirus, the graduation ceremony of Tohoku University was canceled. Instead, a small one was held in our lab.
