Message from the
Editor-in-Chief
主編話語
Dear Readers,
Welcome back to another issue of Science Focus.
We have scouted a variety of activities for you in this
issue, eight more exciting science articles awaiting
your perusal, and two profiles of world-renowned
scientists and Nobel Laureates Prof. Venkatraman
Ramakrishnan and Prof. William E. Moerner. I'm
par ticular ly excited about this issue as we ask
important global questions, such as “Is the ozone
layer recovering?” and “Can extinct animals be
resurrected?” Find out the answers to these questions
on pages 4 and 6.
In addition, I’d like to congratulate our second
Science Focus Article Submission Competition winner,
Miss Lee Lok Sze (Diocesan Girls’ School) for her
excellent and highly relevant article, “Why Do We
Itch?” You can read her article on page 20. This time
round, we have received various interesting articles
on all sorts of different science topics, and enjoyed
reading all of them. The competition is year round
and ongoing. If you would like to participate, please
send us your article to our website today!
Yours faithfully,
Prof. Yung Hou Wong
Editor-in-Chief
