Attending Professor Shih-Chun Kao’s lecture on “Brain and cognition in response to cognitively engaging exercise”
高教授在演講中不僅分享了關於認知參與型運動與大腦健康的最新研究，更無私地傳授了他在美國學術界的實務經驗，包括研究計畫申請（Grantsmanship）的關鍵要素以及大學教職面試的選拔準則。他強調了研究重要性（Significance）、嚴謹性（Rigor）與可行性（Feasibility）的結合，並提醒我們學術之路除了實力，也需要持續的熱情與謙卑。這場國際交流讓我深刻感受到，一位卓越的學者不僅要在專業領域拔尖，更要具備引領後輩的人文關懷與傳承精神。
During the lecture, Professor Kao not only shared cutting-edge findings on cognitively engaging exercise and brain health but also generously offered his practical wisdom regarding the American academic landscape. He detailed the essential components of successful grantsmanship and the rigorous criteria used in faculty hiring processes. Emphasizing the trifecta of research significance, rigor, and feasibility, he reminded us that an academic career requires a balance of professional excellence, enduring passion, and intellectual humility. This international exchange underscored that a truly great scholar excels not only in their specialized domain but also in their commitment to mentoring and fostering the next generation of researchers.
