On Wednesday, May 21st, the Xu Lab and CNCM hosted a team-building and employee recognition event at Dave & Buster’s. The afternoon began with a group lunch and a heartfelt awards ceremony honoring several outstanding team members for their valuable contributions. Following the ceremony, participants engaged in a series of interactive team-building activities, fostering collaboration, communication, and camaraderie. The event provided a meaningful opportunity for colleagues to connect in a fun and engaging environment, strengthening team dynamics across the board.
The passage below was paraphrased from Dr. Todd Holmes’ speech that he gave at the event.
Time is one of the most important resources we have. In both research and everyday life, how we manage our time directly affects the progress we make. It’s easy to overlook, but being intentional with our time can make a huge difference in outcomes. Right now, we’re producing an incredible amount of data. Looking ahead, this growing pool of information has the potential to lead to major breakthroughs. The key will be how we organize, analyze, and apply that data to real-world challenges.
