As the end of 2021 approached, OSCAR scientists gathered at the OSCAR Club on 17th December, ready to present their professional ‘2021 in Review’ with their colleagues.
As is becoming tradition, OSCAR’s annual ‘Year in Review’ convention this year remained a showcase of OSCAR’s broad spread of research themes and a mechanism for open discussion and intellectual stimulation.
At the gathering, each laboratory laid out their field of cutting-edge research, which each holds the potential to answer some of the pressing medical, energy, environmental and financial questions facing humanity. Throughout the talks, speakers adopted creative use of multimedia and good humor, and left peer researchers and the administration team marveling at the prospect for OSCAR research to yield innovative future technologies.

OSCAR General Manager Leah He, who hosted the meeting, said that ‘this annual event is an effective platform to invite staff input and encourage intergroup communication’. She urged staff to keep up the excellent work in support of the mission, vision and objectives set forth in the OSCAR Strategic Plan 2021-2025. Leah also reiterated the spirit of ‘Creativity, Reproducibility, Initiative, Standardization, and Productivity’ or ‘CRISP’, upheld by Oxford University, encouraging OSCAR scientists to strive for excellence in their research, while the administration team were encouraged to ensure ‘IREQ’, i.e. ‘Integrity’, ‘Reliability’, ‘Efficiency’ and ‘Quality’, in providing support to our researchers, so that they can put their focus to tackling complex scientific challenges.
