To strengthen students’ understanding of scientific concepts and spark their interest in biological sciences, LUA International School held a campus seedling program on the morning of May 8, 2025.  The school was honored to invite Professor Louis J. Ignarro, recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, to deliver a special lecture to the students.

        Professor Ignarro began his talk by sharing his family background and his childhood curiosity about the world. He encouraged students to make full use of the resources and opportunities provided by the school to discover their interests. Once students find what they are passionate about, they can delve deeper into it—what starts as curiosity could eventually become a professional pursuit. He emphasized the importance of always considering new possibilities.

        Acknowledging that achievements can rise and fall, Professor Ignarro urged students not to lose confidence. He explained that scientific research often involves testing hypotheses, and while it can be disappointing to find that a hypothesis is incorrect, it is also a success—because finding the answer is itself a meaningful discovery.
