Gene Tan

By Murray Bourne, 03 Dec 2004

Gene (of National Library Board) gave his usual 'shameless' kind of presentation today for Life Sciences lecturers at my institution.

I expected shocked looks on audience faces - and I was not disappointed.

So why is he so creative? My take is that the National Library has not demotivated his enthusiasm for off-the-wall approaches. Most people are creative (and motivated to learn) but the situation they find themselves in destroys that motivation.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
