I went to Tokyo, Japan to attend the Workshop on Frontiers in Phosphatase Research and Drug Development at the end of October, 2018. I gave a short talk and also presented my work in a poster on the oncogenic phosphatase PRL3 at the conference. In addition, I had a nice discussion with the researchers from other labs studying PRL protein from Canada, Japan and Germany. I explored the city after conference and encountered the biggest fish in my life!
