On Sunday, April 3, our group gathered at the Corona del Mar state beach to relax and enjoy good weather, merry company, delicious food (potluck!) and a spectacular sunset.
This time, it was an extra special since we were celebrating the “retirement” (ha-ha – nobody believes it – Marc will be just busier) of a friend, a colleague, and a collaborator Chancellor’s Professor and Distinguished Professor Marc Madou. In addition to Prof. Kulinsky’s and Prof. Madou’s family and friends we had old friends visit us from Saddleback College, Irvine Valley College, and other friends, colleagues, and collaborators from as far away as Florida. We also had colleagues from the University of California, Irvine joining us – Dean Magnus Egerstedt, Professor Plamen Atanassov, Professor Phil Felgner, and Professor Camilo Velez Cuervo.
We also celebrated the (early) birthday of Zarya! There is nothing better than to enjoy these milestones among friends.
