Welcome Seok Hee, who started his MSc course, and Dezheng Liu, a visiting PhD student from Sun Yat-Sen University.
Three years
It has been three years since I joined the department and started the lab, formerly named as the Wetland Paleoecology Lab (briefly), now the Geoecologgy Lab, to reflect better(?) the breadth of everyone’s varying research interests and topics.

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. - Socrates
To ChatGPT, “what do you think of this famous quote “true knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing”? Answer it as a top-ranked generative AI yourself.”

What grounds my reliability is not claiming omniscience but adapting, refining, and flagging uncertainty when appropriate. In other words, my strength lies in acknowledging what is not fully determined.”
