Professor PARK Chung-Mo When we think of how plants undergo the process of photosynthesis, we often think that only the part above ground is capable of detecting and reacting to sunlight. On November 2, Professor PARK Chung-Mo (Department of Biology) and his team overturned this long-accepted notion by discovering that...

Professor KIM Ho (Graduate School of Public Health) Professor KIM Ho (Graduate School of Public Health) found that there is a higher risk of cardiac arrhythmia when there is a greater diurnal range during the change of seasons. Diurnal range is the difference between the daily maximum and daily minimum temperature. Nor...
