I mentioned to dad yesterday that the old dog was struggling with the gravel path when he went out to the back garden so he came round while I was working and silently put down stepping stones ππ pic.twitter.com/JtaHPZCFSy— Morag Lindsay (@morag_lindsay) July 1, 2020
my dad died a few years ago but one of the best things he ever said to me was, “you sound tired. are you eating enough ice cream?”— emily edwards (@MsEmilyEdwards) June 22, 2020
1/ My favorite story about my dad is he got into Peking University (the Harvard of China) but a corrupt communist official swapped his admission ticket w/ his daughter's admission ticket.— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
2/ My dad was sent to the state medical university instead, cashing his dreams of studying physics at Peking. The corrupt bureaucrat didn't even try to cover up the scandal and sent him to the women's dorm room originally assigned to his daughter.— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
3/ Faced with this crushing disappointment he could have either stayed in his poor countryside farming village and wait another 2 years to retake his college entrance exams. His brother had given up his spot to go to college to my dad so he felt obligated to take the offer.— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
4/ He arrived to med school almost a semester late and borrowed his roommate's textbooks to study over winter break. When it came in finals he scored in 1st and 2nd across his whole class.— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
5/ He always dreamed of going to Peking University to study aerospace engineering but his dreams were dashed b/c of the corrupt communist official. Instead he became an ear, neck, nose, and throat doctor.— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
6/ But he never gave up his love for physics combining it in his hearing science research, studying wave theory. He pursued science in addition to practicing medicine, receiving a WHO fellowship to conduct hearing research at the University of Michigan.— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
7/ His work has been published in Nature multiple times and he has created a paradigm shift in hearing research. My dad embodies childhood wonder. He spends his weekends tinkering with his laser interferometers and reviewing NIH grants b/c he likes giving back to grad students. pic.twitter.com/JVQIjdOIbq— Bo Ren (@Bosefina) June 22, 2020
