The summer of 2003, I finished my undergraduate study in Fudan
After four years' study, I graduated with honors in Jul 2003 - "the summer of SARS". I got 3.9/4.0 GPA from my major courses, honor listed every year. The most proud thing I did in college is that I had four field trips in three years, two of which were recognized as the Year's Best in the city of Shanghai. I should emphasize that I designed and raised funding for three of them. Fudan University is a great place for young students. The open environment, competitive classmates and honorable teachers made all these things possible ! This link points to LifeSci.99 GCD, which I made with my classmates for the graduation celebration.
Undergraduate Field Trips
» Aug 2002, Investigation into the distribution of insects and vegetation along the area of the Three Gorges in Wanxian country
Background investigation of soil insects' distribution along the altitude was performed.
A model describing the distribution of insects in the Three Gorges with plants as a factor of
the living condition of insects was constructed. By analyzing the data, two conclusions were made
: there is no difference of soil insects' distribution between north-bank and south-bank of the
Yangtze River; along with the altitude's increasing the distribution of soil insect changes well-regulated.
» Jun 2002, Investigation of Tianmu Mountain's biological resources and ecological environment
Trained with basic skills in biology such as sampling, collecting insects,
making specimens and ecological surveying. The expansion of Phyllostachys pubescens's
underground rhizome was studied and a method "dig and pour" which can be used for inhibiting
the expansion of rhizome based on the results of the observation in the West Tianmu Mountain
was designed.
» Aug 2001, Investigation into the prevention and treatment of hog cholera in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces
Hog choler, a acute highly infectious viral disease of swine, is also called swine fever.
The virus may enter a herd through contaminated feed, water, equipment, or by contact with an
infected animal or person. This work analyzed the information about the incidence of the disease
in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, and made sure that national hog cholera eradication program has been
established in China to eliminate all possible sources of virus introduction. Some of the
limitations in the process of immunity inoculation were found and improved method and advice
were given.
» Jun 2000, Investigation into the exploitation of mushroom and the protection of fir in Baishanzu
Mr. Mingxiang Wu named Abies beshanzuensis M.H.Wu in 1976. For the ending of glacier
and destroy from human activity, this kind of fir left only three in the whole world and became
one of the world's 12 severest endangered plants. In this work, some discussion about the
dangerous reason was placed and the possibility of graft protection was considered. As Qingyuan
is called "the origin of mushroom", some investigations about the manufacturing, machining and
selling were done. Based on the improved technology and culture accumulation, Qingyuan Mushroom
is well known now.
