When I attended on the 7^th Asian Pacific Phycological Forum (APPF 2014) held in Wuhan last September, I had the chance to visit the center of microalgal technology and biofuels belongs to the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. At that time, I hope to visit here again and luckily started my new year’s month of 2015 in Wuhan, China. I came from Korea and am working at Pusan National University. I have enjoyed every new experience from on the first day after arriving in Wuhan. The well-prepared stuffs at my dormitory room, even two small pots on the desk, made me feel warm-hearted consideration of Dr. Qiang Hu and his colleagues for my staying. Many newly set-up research instruments and well-experienced researchers are under a good harmony so it makes me enjoy my research here more.  

My research is related to develop harvesting of microalgae and water reuse & recycling in the cultivation. I could magnify and clarify my research idea through active discussion with members workings at IHB (especially, CMBB) and listening several presentations on microalgal basic and application field during my staying period. I really appreciate to Dr. Hu and his colleagues on giving another bonus chance to visit the headquarter building of CMBB in Beijing as well as to take Beijing tour with the members working at IHB-CBMM in Wuhan. It makes me misunderstood myself as if I am not a visiting scholar here but a member of this CMBB.
