A distinguished career merging math and neuroscience : This called basic sciences, take long time to establish and should get the highest reward after long way research and comitment. Do we believe it can happen in Malaysia OR we are just another parrot and news paper generation. Follow what people found as what many chicken are doing, the celebrate as many making noise after one chicken lay unhatch egg.
