Today woke up late, luckily still managed to attend the talk...
The talk is given by a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2003, Dr.Roderick MacKinnon, he is the one who study the potassium channel structure and how K+ goes through the channel... The talk is very interesting and it really helped to understand the topic as am going to sit for midterm exam next month...
Another talk right after it was Dr. Jyrki Heino from Turku, Finland...perhaps Kean Jin met him before... He works on intergrin related to viral entry to cells...
Need to read paper tonight for tomorrow seminar....
My seminar will be 2 weeks right after the exam.., still not yet prepare the power point, but luckily the paper i'm going to present is not that tough...
Oh ya.., Pank Jit Sin, your big day liao, how is your thesis writing..? all the best ya...
I was called by Jessica to join the meeting with visitors from UTAR... They would like to know the study and research environment in Academia Sinica and to interact with the PIs in IMB... Yee Fun (a 2nd year TIGP student from Malaysia) and i were in the meeting... Through our conversation, got to know that they are growing very fast, just a 4 year plus newly established private university, their rapid development in short period of time is being noticed and monitored by the ministry... They are eligible to apply for Science Grant from MOSTE, all the courses offered are acredated by LAN and having many international advisors for their development... All this really change my initial perception on UTAR... Well-done!! They even invite us to join them after graduation...

This is correct direction for the University. I just wonder will it "disturb" by someone (you-know-whom) sooner or later? You know well about Malaysia politic environment. If not, UTAR will have a bright future.

They have been disturbed for few times by you-know-who... because they are growing very fast... Someone is worrying about their "great" achievements...
"if we are same level and i couldn't improve to make myself higher, i'll push you down to make myself looked higher..."
