Scientific Research
Mentor: Dr. Alan Wong
Rachel Chan & Gigi Ling
After four meetings with our mentor, Dr. Wong, we had a deeper understanding of the work of a researcher and writing scientific articles. We were allowed to choose our own research topics. One of them is studying the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine and intestinal microbiota, and the other is how human health is affected by the exposure to the electromagnetic field.
In the beginning, we came across many difficulties, such as finding useful resources for our decided topic, and constructing a proper format for our paper. With Dr. Wong’s teaching and guidance, we finally managed to overcome these obstacles. He gave us many valuable comments and also pointed out areas for improvements in our work, and allowed us to amend it. At last, we created our own research paper.
All in all, this program is indeed useful since it provided opportunities for us to learn more about the field and helped us in making decision for our future plan.
