Scientific breakthrough originates in independent thinking and interest

HAN CHUNYU, an associate professor at Hebei University of Science and Technology, recently impressed the nation, indeed the world, with his breakthrough in DNA-guided genome editing. Cjn .cn comments:

Han's achievement should not be underestimated. Genome editing has been a headache for scientists and researchers, and Han's discovery grants them a pair of scissors to precisely edit them.

There are many reasons for Han's success, but surely one of the most important is his curiosity. Han is rather idealistic and he has always been pursuing his dream of turning Jurassic Park into reality. In an interview he said he pursued DNA-guided genome editing only because it is cool.
