DBMI now is working remotely!
The DBMI community is overcoming this all together! Some of us have new work spaces and styles. Here are some images from our department to show (and explain) our new working areas! We miss you and wish everyone all the best!
I miss everyone, and I miss my monitors. - George Hripcsak (Professor, Chair of DBMI)
My work environment is best exhibited by this image of Bianca Del Rio (6yr old Shiba Inu) gently sleeping on my computational methods notes. He is my constant writing partner and chearleader, although lectures put him to sleep! Since Rio brings me joy and is always working on top of or underneath me (he claims first author on all publications--BDR Pichon), I wanted to submit a photo that might bring you all joy too 🙂

Work from home with all food supplies.

This is my work station. In the morning, there definetly will be a cup of coffee and my day would be unfolded centered around that cup of coffee, which is suprisingly productive, doing the work unrelated to my program, of course. During 6 or 7 pm in the afternoon, the sunlight will be pouring in, spilling on the desk and glorifies everything. At that time I would feel like a pope doing some divine work well in reality I'm really just procrastinating and watching hulu because it is 7 pm already and I'm just waiting until the hunger kicks in because I have eaten multiple snacks throughout the day including that bar of dark chocolate which I don't even like but I ate it anyway, so I can enjoy my dinner which will likely be pasta because I bought too many under irrational fear. Then the night comes and I would read some books. Cheerio. -Chen (Martin) Liu (MA Student)
My "workstation" - I live a modest 13 inch one-monitor life...My laptop is resting on top of Vogel's Biochemistry and Albert's Molecular Biology of the Cell - metaphor for the foundation in which my informatics work builds from? I'll let you decide. And water is very important! -Nick Giangreco (PhD Student)
Hot pot every week, my little fun while working home. -Yingcheng Sun (PostDoc)
My remote work station. All pieces are assembled by myself. Oh, that grandfather clock behind me is off sync. Gave up using it now. So it will not chime next to me every hour with the wrong time~ - Kang Chen (Administration)
Does it count as working remotely if I'm still on CUIMC wifi at home? Outside my window cars zoom zoom zoom along the Henry Hudson Parkway and GWB. Inside I zoom zoom zoom with DBMI fam.

Sometimes we need to consult outside advisors for our presentations. Mine tends to give the purrfect advice.
- Salvatore Volpe (MA Student)
Being away from family is difficult, so I've collected a lot of reminders of them. I've set up a dresser with embroidery from my sister, a metal buffalo from my dad, a rock from my mom, and necklaces from my second family. All of these pieces have meaning and help me feel at home.

My old buddy chairman!

My new workstation! Sometimes squirrels and robins come to visit. A bluejay showed up once.
- Rimma Perotte (Professor)
Only have a laptop and half of a dining table, so I rearrange them for ergonomic reason.The laptop's background is what telescope Hubble captured on my birthday this year. Kyle the Koala and Hello Kitty keep me company for work.
-Karen Wu (R&D)
My remote work station consists of continuous coffee and cats. -Noemie Elhadad (Professor)
It is easy to lose the track of dates and time when working from home. -Chunhua Weng (Professor)
The moment after my FINAL edit to my Dissertation before I distributed. - Amelia A. (PhD Student)
I'm seeing patients from home using telehealth. I'm usually simultaneously on my laptop, ipad and iphone (often doing different things on all 3 devices). Way too much screen time!!! -Sivan Kinberg (Professor)
Probably, many people will share their work stations. I miss my DBMI station (and library chairs!) a lot, so will share what cheers me up during those times. Here you go, my adorable espresso machine! Perfect match with Stumptown decaf. -Anna Ostropolets (PhD Student)
This is me working in my office. Three years ago, it was a closet.
- George Costakis (Research & Development)
A bacteriophage and Baymax protecting me during work. -Janice Yang (MA Student)
Preparing my standing desk (which is really my clothes drawer) with lots of plants!
