很棒!

我最近感觉很棒!!

下雪了!这让我很兴奋..20岁终于见到雪了!11月29日,我会记得这一天,虽然很小,天空落下像尘埃的雪!11月30日,雪下大了,我有了人生中第一个雪球战,还有迷你snowman!









更加让我超级兴奋的是12月1日,我出席了2001诺贝尔奖得主Dr Tim Hunt的public lecture:“"Lessons from a life in science: how to get a Nobel Prize”。地点在曼彻斯特大学的University Place!很兴奋,第一次看到真人的诺贝尔奖得主。Dr Hunt是一个很好的演讲者,也看得出他很有那种科学热忱和毅力。我在Q&A session问了他一个问题!(当主持人问还有谁有问题问,我的右手举了起来)我问他:“what's difference between research today compared to those in your time? what advice will you give to aspiring scientists?" 他答的第一句:"keep your foot on the ground, put your eyes on the horizon and keep your nose near the grindstone"。之后,他说了know what's unknown的重要,并用了Francis Crick做例子。他说Francis Crick是一个很有好奇心且不耻下问的人,他说很多top scientist强在他们清楚本身不知道什么,并抱有很大的好奇心去学习不知道的。=))
