Farewell to Siqian

This month we say farewell and best of luck to Siqian Feng, who will be starting his own research group at the School of Life Science and Technology of Southeast University, Nanjing, China. We will greatly miss Siqian's creativity, his consistent goal to achieve excellence, and his ample willingness to give his time and expert advice to anyone who asks. But we also look forward to continued interactions with the Feng lab in the future!
