KOGICian Spirit for Scientific Researchers
KOGIC is a center promoting the importance of science. Science is the 'most important representation of the life processes occuring in the universe. Scientific methodology is the essence of life propagation.
KOGICians must:
- Think critically and independently.
- Be curious and question everything they hear or read.
- Work as a team: Science is done only through collaboration via intense teamwork.
- Communicate, for it is the key to research - it is as important to us as the results of our work are. Accordingly, we reccomend that you acquire a proficiency in English. There are members of our lab who are non-Korean speakers, and a majority of our activities (e.g. reading papers, presenting) are done in English.
- Be oriented by purpose. The purpose of science is to objectively understand the universe. Its importance preceeds personal gains and interests.
- Have a passion for science. Science has many types of motivation. The best of all is passion. The key to becoming a good KOGICian is having a passion for life and its principles.
- Be driven by justice. Everyday, Kogicians should mindful of their actions and strive to be just in their decisions.
