Welcome to the 2009 Photo Diary for the UMPKU Summer Research Exchange Program between the US and China. This year, the program has grown again, and includes the biological sciences in addition to chemistry, and we have expanded to include participation with Tsinghua University.

Organizing the logistics for 49 people is simply a multiplied challenge compared with 18 (there is no economy of scale), so we've been on the steep part of the learning curve.

All of our students from China arrive in late June, 2009, and stay for an 8 week period.
