Dewan Kosmik Jun09

Sains dan teknologi semakin berkembang pantas. Artikel pertama Tukang Catat yang diterbitkan di majalah sains dan teknologi pertama Malaysia keluaran DBP ini ialah Daripada Mikro Kepada Nano pada bulan April 2007 dan dinilai oleh panel penilai UKM untuk layak memenangi Hadiah Khas Penulisan Umum di Majalah 2008. Tahun 2009 bersamaan bulan Jun, saya tulis lagi satu kisah perkembangan teknologi nano. Kali ini Daripada Nano Kepada Piko. Insyaallah tak menang apa-apa haha..Menang kalah tak menjadi soal, yang penting baca, baca, tulis,tulis dan sebarkan..

Melihat tajuk, mungkin pembaca (kalau ada) sudah dapat agak apa yang ingin disampaikan. Ya, teknologi semakin mengecil dan mengecil. Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang isu ini, dapatkan Dewan Kosmik tebaru terbitan DBP di kedai-kedai yang menjual majalah ini. Melanggan lagi bagus!

Estidotmy April

Rencana di Estidotmy bulan Februari

Baru baru ini saya ada menulis satu rencana tentang teknologi pengesanan (sensor) yang menggunakan lebah sebagai ejen pengesan sempena tema penerbitan Estidotmy bulan Februari 2009 iaitu Zoologi.

Profesor termuda di dunia

SHE could already read when she was 8 months old. She was accepted into the State University of New York at Stony Brook when she was 10 years old, and at 14, she received a BSc in Applied Mathematics, the youngest female graduate in United States history.

She received her MSc from Drexel University in Philadelphia at 17, and at 18, a PhD in Material Science from Drexel.

At the same age, the now 20-year-old Alia Sabur broke a record that had stood for nearly 300 years when she was appointed Professor of Nanotechnology at SUNY Stony Brook.

Previously, the youngest person ever to be appointed professor was Colin Maclaurin, a friend of Sir Isaac Newton, who was 19 years and 7 months old when he was appointed Professor of Mathematics in 1717.

Alia is now a full-time professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea.

But Alia is not only a brilliant academic, she is a gifted clarinetist. When she was 11 years old, she performed Mozart's Clarinet Concerto with pianist Ling Lang, and as a teenager, she performed with rock band, Smash Mouth.

On Saturday, this unique young woman will give a talk on effective studying and maximising one's potential at the Corus Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. She takes our questions first.

Q: What is your favourite subject and why?

A: I love Mathematics and Physics. It's interesting to see how things work, and with Physics, I'm always fascinated why something is this way and not that.

Q: What is your secret to success?

A: There's no secret in that sense. During my talk, I will try and share what helped me to gain success, but there is no magic formula. Just do whatever you do to the best of your ability. If you're weak, you just have to work harder and try studying more.

Q: How do you deal with stress?

A: I've never had stress because I was doing what I wanted to do. I love learning new things and I make sure I excel in everything I do. In fact, I don't have much stress because I sleep a lot and put aside some time to relax.

Q: What are your future plans?

A: I'd like to be able to do everything. Right now, I'm writing a book about myself that will be out some time next year. I also want to pursue my music career and perform more classical concerts. Besides that, I want to teach as a professor in other countries. My stint at the Konkuk University is just about over and I'll be returning to the States soon. I like to have a lot of things going on. It keeps me going.

Q: Here you are, a woman and the youngest professor in the world. But there are women in places like Africa and the Middle East who can't get a decent education. What are your thoughts on this?

A: I think it's terrible and unfair for women to be in this situation. I have never understood why things have been that way for some women. I would like to travel to those parts of the world and maybe help them understand why education is important for women.

Alia Sabur's talk on how to study effectively and to maximise one's potential at the Corus Hotel begins at 2pm and ends at 6.30pm. Registration is RM199 per person. Call 03-41491211 for details.
