Sarah Connor Chronicles & California Drones

In the end of this TV show of sarah connor chronicles (season 2, episode 13), Sarah met the mysterious California Drone, which rose my interest greatly. Why does the writer want to relate the show with this famous UFO case, which has caused great turmoil on the Internet? There must be some people commenting this, so I googled, and find following links which I would like to digest later time:

Gmail's bug!

I've been so busy recently, preparing for my visa appointment... Anyway, I'm still alive.

Here's a tiny *bug* I have discovered in our lovely Gmail:

I have been using the "planet & universe" theme for my Gmail, and it's really cool! ...except when there's no email in inbox where a weird Google Reader link is there:


But actually the words are there, and the font color is same as dark sky background!

I'm single again

We departed, shortly after we've known each other for 20+ days. We used to be so close and dreaming the future, but now everything gets back to the original track... and I broke someone's heart, again.

Don't ask why, see my memoir 50 years later.

博士学位论文答辩 PhD Thesis Defense

Here are several photos taken from my defense.

The defender, fearless and hardened :)

Ms. Yi Ling was giving a kind introduction on me to the committee members and audiences. In the very front of the picture are three female scholars in my committee: Dr. Hongya Gu (Peking Univ.), Dr. Shuhua Yang (CAU), and Dr. Xiujie Wang (CAS). They are all brillient scientists and good tutors!

I was doing the viva.

The concentrated audiences. In the center is my mentor, Dr. Zhen Su.
I was explaining some serious stuff to Dr. De Ye who are very interested in my work.

Acknowledgments:

Professor Zhen Su and his wife Ms. Wenying Xu for bringing me to this step;
Professor Ziding Zhang for his continuous encouragement;
Ms. Yi Ling for her kindness in everything!
Dr. Junjie Fu, Dr. Haiyan Wu (became PhD one day later than I am!), and Yunyan Liu who were previous lab members and my close friends;
Zhiyu Peng and Linchuan Li for productive collaboration and friendship;
All the lab members and my friends;
And finally my dear parents!

Vitamin C to beat cancer

I read the letter in PNAS that points out possibility of using Vitamin C to cure cancer, just after I have eaten a large, juicy orange. Though Dr. Piet Borst is conservative about the prosperity and seriously doubted some experimental evidences, I would like to accept them all, fairly!
