Message from the Editor-in-Chief 銝餌楊閰梯?
Dear Readers, 閬芣?????
I hope you are enjoying the new school year so far. For some of you, it may ?靽∩??撌脩?蝧?啣飛撟渡?摮豢?暑??典??be time to consider further education and decide if studying science in universities 銋??芯??飛?楝??隞亙?蝛嗥?閰脖?閰脣憭批飛靽株???is the right choice. Have you been to open days in local universities? Do you know 摮貊?????砍??憭批飛???暹????雿??that the government has promised to inject an increasing amount of its revenue ?踹??餈隢曉?典澈?踵???砍蝘??瘜刻???隡潔?
to support local research and development? It seems that the future is bright for ?其???摮賊???嚗飛銵??????芯?銋?????academics and entrepreneurs in a variety of scientific disciplines.

break new grounds. In this issue, we explore how stained glass can be seen as a ????摮貊?蝯嚗誑??雿?函??敺??菟?賢???marriage of art and chemistry, and how physical principles are used to stimulate ?其??箸蝎暹??箸??瘜?the brain in a more precise manner.
?血?嚗??箄?霈?漱瘚??冽?寞?嚗?閮?撌脩?? As a new way of communicating with our readers, Science Focus is now on Instagram嚗sciencefocus.hkust嚗?????銋?敺???????颲?Instagram (@sciencefocus.hkust). We will be launching a photo competition very ?貊??阮瘥魚嚗????貊???芯???閮??蝡?撖思???soon for images that will inspire future articles in Science Focus. Bite-size articles will ?剔???鈭血撠?氬?撖???嚗?be forthcoming also. Please stay tuned!
