Recent PhD graduates Dr. Dong Lin and Dr. Xueling Shi, also a married couple expecting their first baby, were hosted on a visit to the site of the Fort Hays SuperDARN radar by Fort Hays State University intern Cody Jiles, on May 31, 2019. Dr. Shi performed her research in the SuperDARN group headed while Dr. Lin was a member of the plasma physics group headed by Prof. Wayne Scales. They defended within a few weeks of each other. The visit occurred while they were driving across the country to take up postdoctoral positions at Boulder, Co. Cody is an FHSU undergrad and maintains the radar site for the VT SuperDARN group. The photo in the background shows the closest approach or 'nexus' of the main arrays of the two radars.
