Dear KSA members, Hope all of you had a good semester and now taste the joy of the holiday season. As I look back this year, I can¡¯t help but to admit time flies. I always claim that if time seems to fly for someone, his/her life much be pretty good. So if you also feel this year has gone too fast, comfort yourself. Whenever I write papers or proposals, I tend to read Korean newspapers very often to suppress the pain of writing. (Writing is a most painful work for me.) I recently spent a lot of (too much) time reading Korean newspapers while working on a couple of papers. As I follow Prof. Hwang¡¯s scandals on newspapers, I realize a lot of Koreans and Korean scientists including Prof. Hwang think rather lightly about manipulation of data for scientific publications; it seems such practices are not unusual for some Korean scientists. I strongly hope all of you, as future VT alumni, never think about manipulation of scientific data under no circumstances. Your honesty and integrity shown in your publications will make you to prevail in your professional career. I wish all of you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Best Wishes.
