Today we honor a future faculty member: Chuan Xue. She'll be joining the University of Minnesota faculty next year and we can't wait! 😍😍😍

Chuan Xue That’s a hard question. I was mostly interested in physics and biology in high school probably because I had better teachers in these areas. I was always good at math of course. In China, we choose major before we start college. It was my dad’s wisdom that if I want to do well in science, then l...
