 Message from Dr. So:

“I feel privileged to be authorized by WISE to establish the WISE Hong Kong Branch to serve the Greater China Region and to promote WISE in East Asia. The goal of WISE fits both our near and far future visions in providing mankind some breakthrough with the help of modern science and technology. I shall do my best to recruit more members here and keep a close connection with the headquarters in North America since I frequently travel between the two continents.
