Over 75 former Jan Lab members and 45 current lab members gathered in honor of Lily and
Yuh Nung's upcoming 60th birthdays.
People flew in from as far away as China, Japan, Israel, France, Germany, the UK and Canada.
Along with former students, postdocs there were also several former technicians.
Tom Schwarz, an early lab member,
welcomed people and chaired the first
session.
 Dale Branton, the first postdoc in the
lab, kicked off the symposium with a description
of the early history of the lab and its members.
Alain Ghysen spoke about 32 years with Lily and Yuh Nung, beginning at Cal Tech. The take home lesson: "Have clear ideas about what you want to do and then do something else"
Most of the 40+ speakers, including Bingwei Lu, highlighted some of their current research.
