NTU aspires to be in this league. Amidst the changes in Singapore’s higher education landscape, there To be among the best, is strong endorsement and support from the government for our ambition. The recent decision to set up a fourth publicly funded NTU is competing with the university to provide more university places for Singaporeans underscores the recognition that NTU needs to focus on becoming world’s best universities a leading research-intensive university. for faculty and students. Competition among universities is increasingly global. While top-tier US universities with unmatched financial resources are racing ahead to maintain their lead, European institutions especially in the UK are moving to close the gap with their American counterparts. -

Eastern Medicine Renaissance in the Context of Japanese Rule, 1910-1945
KOREANS BUILDING A NEW WORLD: EASTERN MEDICINE RENAISSANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF JAPANESE RULE, 1910-1945 by James Flowers A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland August 2019 © 2019 James Flowers All Rights Reserved Abstract In the early twentieth century, Western biomedicine physicians achieved elite status on a global scale as bearers of scientific progress. As part of this process of change in medicine, in many countries traditional medicine healers became marginalized and even obsolete. This dissertation examines the unusual case of the traditional medicine healers in Korea organizing themselves in unprecedented ways within the context of Japanese colonial rule from 1910 to 1945. By following the central theme of Korean agency in “building a new world” via what they then termed Eastern Medicine and Hanbang healing, this study evaluates how elite registered physicians, mainly based in modern-day Seoul (Part one and two), and non-registered physicians, mainly working in rural localities (Part three), actively responded to broader modernizing efforts in the context of Japanese rule by doubling down on the value of their own traditional medical doctrines and practices. The Japanese Government-General introduced a decree on Physician Registration in 1913, hoping to marginalize the “old” Eastern-medicine physicians. Instead of surrendering, the Eastern-medicine physicians organized themselves by forming associations, publishing journals and books, and holding symposia. They made the case for Eastern medicine’s continuing relevance and necessity by articulating the need to strengthen Korean bodies and minds with traditional healing therapies. -
Asia Pacific Physics Newsletter
APPN ASIA PACIFIC PHYSICS NEWSLETTER September 2012 • Volume 1 • Number 2 A publication of the SEATPA and IAS@NTU Singapore A Centenary Celebration of the Life and Work of Madame Chien-Shiung Wu Scientific Achievements of Prof. Chien Shiung Wu My Life as a Boson: The Story of “The Higgs” Satyedra Nath Bose – His Life and Times World Scientific Connecting Great Minds FORTHCOMING TITLE BASED ON FIRST WOLF PRIZE WINNER MADAME CHIEN-SHIUNG WU The First Lady of Physics Research by Tsai-Chien Chiang & translated by Tang-Fong Wong Chinese biographies of scientists were usually written in a naïve and superficial way, therefore not worth reading. This book, however, seriously and honestly presents the humanity and background of the success of Wu Chien-Shiung. It opens a new era of such biographies. Chen Ning Yang, Nobel laureate This book presents an unbiased account of Wu’s life as well as lasting achievements in physics. Her deep views and observations, creativity and determination made her a most successful scientist and a distinguished human being. The author has done serious research, and has written accurately and eloquently. It is an accurate, in-depth masterpiece of study about the life and unusual achievements of one of the world’s greatest physicist. Samuel C. C. Ting, Nobel laureate The life of Professor Wu is indeed an enviable, rich history of a distinguished scientist, full of admirable achievements and struggles. Her scientific career had many exciting incidents worth studying by young scientists. I am very arrating the well-lived life of the “Chinese Madame Curie” — a recipient of the first Wolf Prize in Physics (1978), the first woman happy to see this masterpiece of Chiang Tsai-Chien. -

In Remembrance
In Remembrance Kerson Huang, professor emeritus of physics, dies at 88 Theoretical physicist was also known for his translations of Chinese texts. by Scott Morley, Laboratory for Nuclear Science MIT Professor Emeritus Kerson Huang, who was well known for his contributions to the field of statistical physics, passed away on September 1, 2016, at the age of 88. Born March 15, 1928, in Nanning, Kwangsi, China, Huang spent his youth primarily in Manila, The Philippines. He received his BS in physics in 1950 and his PhD in 1953, both from MIT. He was one of the most prominent advisees of Austrian-American theoretical physicist Victor Weisskopf. Huang served as an instructor at MIT from 1953 to 1955 before spending two years as a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. He returned to MIT in 1957 as an assistant professor in physics and was promoted to associate professor in 1961 and to professor in 1966. He was part of the first faculty of the Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP) when it was inaugurated in 1968, and was also a researcher in the Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Together with C. N. Yang, T. D. Lee and others, Huang contributed to the development of the consistent many-body description of interactions of identical particles such as helium atoms. With Steven Weinberg, Huang showed that the spectrum of strongly interacting particles is so rich that it implies that there is an ultimate temperature above which the description in terms of hadrons breaks down. Together with T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang, and separately with Francis Low, Huang wrote important papers on the nature of the weak interaction, especially the way in which then newly-discovered parity violation could be observed experimentally. -
