Stay Curious, Keep Learning: Prof. Bawendi’s Words That Inspire Me.
On November 18, Yuika presented a bouquet to Prof. Bawendi, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, at the University of Tokyo. Prof. Bawendi, who received the 2023 Nobel Prize for inventing quantum dots, gave inspiring advice such as “Stay curious,” “Keep learning,” “Be flexible,” “Don’t give up,” and “Enjoy life.” Yuika was chosen because her father researches quantum dots, and she has strong interest in the Nobel Prize and speaks English well. In front of more than 300 people, she felt honored to take part in this special moment, which deepened her interest in quantum dots and the Nobel Prize.
