Coincidentally and naturally, the concept of passing on what was shared by Dr. Choi was grasped by Karen CHOW (Faculty of Medicine/ 2021), a newbie in the medical field. Inspired by Dr. Choi, she encourages us to persevere from the perspective of a houseman. Constant Trial and Error is unavoidable in both pursuing a research career and facing the pandemic situation. Only “Faith” can keep us going.
