Mr. Know All

A lot of times when I am completely immersed in my work,  I don't have time to eat and even forget about being hungry.   Recently I saw a piece of news about some scientific research that suggests if we occasionally fast,  we can increase our brain power and even prolong our life span.   I'm not sure if this is really true,  but if we always keep ourselves hungry while seeking knowledge,  then we have the correct attitude and can constantly push ourselves forward.

Graduating in aboard is an amazing thing, and graduating in Korea is a greatest gift.  

When I was in high school, I first experienced with Korean drama, and it was a warm pleasure. At that time, even if I never thought that one day I would be here or not, still it would be close to impossible for me to visit Korea.  

I still remember when I first arrived at the airport,  I saw big roads, model airport, clean campus with yellowish leaves of Kingo trees in autumn.

During the studying,  I saw the same type of scenery every year,  which was never even a little boring to me.   When I had a lunch break,  I walked and took a photo to the locals, elders, who were so friendly. They talked in Korean even though I could not understand, but I could read their greeting and smiling face when I went into their shops.  All these small things in life are still in my heart and hard to forget.

Hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease) is due to deficiency of coagulation factor IX (FIX). In this issue of the Journal, Nathwani et al. report the first unequivocal evidence of successful gene therapy for hemophilia B — a major advance in this field.¹ This success for hemophilia may translate into gene therapy for other blood protein deficiencies.
