We took a new group photo yesterday, for the front page of the website. Matt Kim was inexplicably wearing a tee shirt that said “Gallaway Group.” I asked where he got it and he said “they were handing them out.”

The lab is coming along, and it’s starting to have a lot of batteries in it, plugged in and cycling away. But let me talk for a minute about our group. We’ve got a great collection of people that has formed, all trying to learn something. The picture above shows Josie and Sydney, who are making Li-ion batteries. The picture below shows group meeting from this last academic year. Nick, Alyssa, Ben, Matt, and Zhicheng are debating something. Research and knowledge are why we’re here, but the people involved are the most important part.
