Dear all,

Yi Chao’s 18-year old son, Ray, just released this documentary, just before leaving LA for the east coast to start college.

Congratulations, We Regret to Inform You: the college admissions secret

College admissions is the scariest and most mysterious part about high school. Students and parents are stuck guessing what admissions officers are looking for, but often guess wrong. In this documentary, we try to find the secret to college admissions.

Prof. Yuk Yung’s new poem for the new scientist

coaascc — Tue, 10 May 2011 04:54:12 +0000

Dear All,

Prof. Yuk Yung wrote a poem for the new scientists. Please see below:

贈年輕科學家
吾華榮千載舉世無匹雙
若問何機密只因守倫常
十年栽幼苗百年見樹長
喬木扶小木代代有棟樑
根深邦本固民厚國泱泱
今世重科學唯獨有西洋
若為物所役身心必受傷
大德寓於人儀器未足量

Also, Yi-Li has a new article for family. Please see below link:
