Graduation ^.^.

My friend, also one of our lab members, graduated from the Ph.d program at Seoul National University (SNU). Today, graduation ceremony was hold in the gym at 1pm. Unfortunately, I could not attend it due to my experiment, but he and I took pictures together, also with our lab members and our boss in the lab and front of our building.

He studied at SNU more than 12 years, because also got his bachelor degree here. Now, he’s got to find a new position for his future, actually post-doctoral training program in US and some european countries. In our field, neuroscience, generally students who have just gotten his/her doctoral degree from universities in Korea to find a new position in the US or european countries. Few decades ago, Korean students usually went to the US and Europe for having the Ph.D degree, for at the time college-facilities were not well established for doing experiments. The change of Korea economy state brought the phenomenon, even many Korean students are still studying abroad.

I’m trying to change from above sentences to new one.

My friend, BJ, graduated in Neuroscience from SNU.

The graduation took place in the gym, unfortunately I could not go there because of my experiment.

We had a great time taking the pictures with my lab members.

Actually, he is staying very long time in here more than 12 years because he graduated this college for his bachelor degree.

Recently, he's looking for the new lab for his post-doctoral program, generally in here persons train the postdoc, and then finding their own lab in universities or research centers.
