Lu Chen Lab hosted Dr. Roger Kornberg for a Distinguished Lecture at Fox Chase Cancer Center

Roger's presentation is breath-takingly beautiful and touching. He used very simple slide style but emphasized on the core message (sometimes even blackened out slides to gather audience attention); he distilled down complicated biochemical reconstitution and structural biology into chewable bitesize but the big picture is always loud and clear. He spent an entire one hour of his evening time listening and answering every single trainee's question to the fullest and beyond - all he really wished is for everyone in the audience to enjoy basic research and discoveries. Many trainees told me they burst into tears by the sheer contagious purity of his pursuit of knowledge.
Persistency, determination, focus, hard work... what a force and inspiration. Dr. Kornberg is truly a pure seeker of his own kind.
