前陣子去市中心逛街,在 Jack Wolfskin 看到有趣的頭巾 BUFF,花色多樣,像是國家地理頻道系列,上面印了一堆古文字;也有美女系列,像是左圖,看起來也可以搭配一般的服裝;比較奇怪的是紳士系列,花色怎麼看都像內褲,所以就敬謝不敏了。
這種頭巾是用有彈性的布料織成一個像是袖套的形狀,只是比較寬,所以穿戴的方法變化多端,有興趣的可以參考這個圖片。
Q: You had many successful PhD students, what is your recipe for PhD success?
A: First, find a broad question that REALLY interests you. Second, learn a lot about a lot of fields. Finally, find a “patron”, a senior researcher who appreciates and understands your work, and will stand up for it, no matter how “far out” – i.e. original – it is.

按2:Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)是美國政府頒給青年學者的最高榮譽,相較於年事已高的大師級人物,這個獎項得主們的建議,會更貼近現在的時空。
