Michael is now Dr. Liu.  Congratulations, Michael!

He delivered a great talk yesterday, which you can watch here.  Koi hobbyists are an unusual bunch.  When asked what is missing from the backyard, only a very special type of person would say “a hole filled with Cyprinid carp.”  Even fewer would feel the same way about the living room.  Michael managed to discern what inspires these people, and to lay it out in an easily-digestible way.
