We are devastated by the unexpected loss of Professor An Yin. Prof. Yin was the heart and soul of our department, a dedicated teacher who served his students with unfailing loyalty. We are focused on supporting his family and students and will share more information soon.

It's supposed to be a "Graphical Syllabus," but every time I say it in my head it's a "Graphical Abstract." If science articles can have graphical abstracts, why not a science course? #GraphicalSyllabus #AcademicTwitter
