A Faithful Football Fan

Alongside the academic research, I devote much of my extracurricular time to watching football matches and playing football games. I am a super fan of Real Madrid. My favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo, although he was transferred to Juventus in 2018, which made me kinda heart-broken. Ronaldo had a tough childhood and faced many difficulties during his early career, but he kept going and pursued his goal and finally becomes one of the best football players in history . His toughness, persistence and passion for his career really motivate me a lot.

The past few days have been really special for me and many others who were fortunate to celebrate Professor Wing Hung Wong’s birthday. He turned 70 and a symposium on Statistics and Data Science in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine was held at Stanford, where the speakers were mainly his former PhDs and Postdocs. It was a precious opportunity for me to talk to so many outstanding Wonglab alumni, who are now professors at Harvard, Berkeley, Duke, U Penn, Michigan, UCAL, UCSD, etc. I also felt very lucky to talk to many pioneers, such as Michael Waterman. As I accompanied Michael and several other professors back to hotel, I was reminded of the time when I learned the Smith-Waterman algorithm as a beginner in the field of computational biology.

The Best Football Story!

This has been a INSANE football year where the greatest players Messi and Ronaldo made a transfer to PSG and MU, repectively. I has been following news from different social media platforms these days and obviously Ronaldo was closed to sign Manchester City. It is actually not a good taste in my heart as I know many MU fans will be disppointed. I woke up in the morning and found that transfer of Ronaldo has been officially announced. I did not feel very excited at the first time until she told me that it was Manchster United! I’m still shocking how MU made it happen in such a few hours.
