First post

I'm spending my summer at Peking University in Beijing working on organic chemistry in the Shi group. My research is sponsored by U. Michigan, Peking U., and the NSF. This is my second trip to China and I can't wait to arrive next Saturday. I'll be flying to Michigan this Sunday to meet the other 12 students traveling with me.

There's a problem with our visas that might affect our trip...most visas issued by the government are only valid for 30 days, but I think this will be resolved later in the week. More on that issue later...

Feel free to leave comments on my blog.

NOTE: My goal is to post periodically, but the Chinese government may occasionally censor blog sites like this one. We'll see how this works out.
