As the year 2009 nears its end, I have been thinking of what to share with my friends. Some of them already sent me their greeting cards via snail mail, which I have not done for years in the name of being green. Some of them will for sure send me a detailed year-end-report-card, which I tried to write myself but never was able to finish in the past. Thanks to Blog, I am going to do it this time. Things happened, both good and bad. For the sake of celebrating holidays, I will only share the good news with you, as indicated by the title, and send the bad ones down the trash chute. 1) Our research on the ASOMZ (Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone) is on target to be finished in summer 2010. This is a 3-yr NSF project, with one PI and three co-PIs. I have always wanted to work on an ecosystem model, but funding was hard to obtain even for someone with a good track record. Thanks to Jay, who is the PI, our proposal was accepted after the initial submission! (Note, the success rate for the U.S. NSF proposals is about 20%.) We worked hard to extend the 4.5-layer model to 6.5-layer model and to add another component to the NPZD ecosystem model. However, even when Raleigh came to visit this summer, we were nowhere near our goal, to shift the OMZ to the central and eastern basin of the Arabian Sea as observed. I was getting nervous, because the clock was ticking and the fund was running out During Raleighs visit, we decided to have a three-way conference call every week from then on. Even with Skype, such an arrangement is not always easy because Raleigh is on the east coast and I am in Hawaii, 5-6 hours of time difference. Plus, Raleigh teaches and Jay travels. However, we managed, sometimes spending two hours to go over the Web page I maintain, which contains standard plots for the latest experiments. (For the usefulness of Web page for research, see my Blog Research needs a good environment and devotion .) I would walk them through important new results, and they would ask questions and make recommendations for new experiments. Even after running more than nearly 300 experiments since Raleighs visit in July 2009, we were so close but still not quite there yet. Recent discussions with John Bullister in Seattle reminded us the importance of CFCs as tracers to estimate water age and possibly pathways. Discussions with Akio in Japan on a related project made me realize there was a coding error related to the Persian Gulf water as a boundary condition. When Akio visited in mid December, we went over the 300-minus experiments to help him understand what we had been struggling with. Thanks to that lengthy overview, a new idea occurred to Jay. Bingo! We have finally obtained the solution we are happy with! I am sure many of you have similar experience, so I dont need to say how joyful we were when the three of us chatted via Skype last week, the final conference call of the year. Indeed, this is the best Christmas present for the whole team, which also includes Akio and Vinay. I would call this true team work! 2) I edited more than 60 manuscripts this year, which means I am half way to become a full-time freelancer! Sure, I will miss research, but the freedom of being a freelancer is worth it! 3) I finally remodeled BOTH bathrooms, and they are so beautiful! Was it hard work? Of course, but if the contractors are good, the stress is so much less. Happy holidays and see you all in 2010 if not before!

2009 岁末感怀:感谢学生,感谢生活 (王德华) 快过年了,大家都不愿意写了,封笔的封笔,关博的关博,离开的离开 博客路上,人来人往,遇上的可能会相识,可能永远都不相识。科学网,就当是一个茶座,累了来喝杯茶,可以心静,可以沉思,可以悠闲。也可以当是酒吧,来了就有兴致就跟着 Hi 一下,蹦几下,喝一杯,狂欢一阵。高兴了,多笑笑;郁闷了,多聊聊。完了,回家,生活;回单位,工作。这就是博客生活。 你们都不写了?俺写。 ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ 马上又到了岁末,又忍不住要感叹时间的无情,又控制不了要埋怨生活的不公。今年,咱不感叹,更不埋怨。今年,很充实;今年,特知足。这就是生活,虽然有沟沟坎坎,但却真真实实。本来嘛,哪有那么多公平,又哪有那么多痛苦,郁闷是自己找的,头发白了是自己长的,怪人家干什么。 咱们关心什么?老百姓当然首先是衣食住行、柴米油盐油盐酱醋茶呀,掐掐指头算算,看看有几条满足了?当然不要奢望全部都满足: 身体是否健壮?家庭是否美满? 孩子是否健康?老人是否康健? 睡得是否踏实?吃得是否香甜? 住的是否宽敞?穿得是否体面? 今年,国庆 60 周年,阅兵式雄伟壮观,祖国繁荣富强。振奋! 今年,院庆 60 周年,成果展硕果累累,知识创新跨越式发展。激动! 今年,单位里完成了国际评估,评价很高,在国内学科优势保持不错。喜悦! 今年,研究组发表文章的质量又上了个台阶,发展势头挺好,学生士气高。知足! 今年科学网和博友们给的鼓励太多,多的有点过了,我几乎被冲昏了头脑,写了不少针对年轻学生的胡言乱语。所以看来,鼓励对什么年龄都起作用。科学网可以有意识试试。像发发这样的热心可爱的博主,要是给点鼓励,还不知道一天写多少博文呢,估计他就会乐此不彼,不会离开了,怕是把小发发的功课给耽误了。其实,很多人只要给点阳光,立马就会灿烂的。 不管怎样,一年快走完了。这把年纪了,觉得一年像一眨眼的功夫,没有完成的事情,也知道是自己心有余而力不足了,再也不会加班到天亮了,不服是不行的了。年轻人,估计还是着急的多,挠头的多,上火的多。是啊,有些事情临时抱佛脚是不行的,少年不知愁滋味的年龄也过了吧。想想逐渐年迈的双亲,想想家里那妻那夫那孩期待的眼神,想想女友男友朋友那鼓励的目光,还有信箱里那该死的导师连续不断地催帐,说不上火是假的,拳头攥得紧紧的,举得高高的,就是没地方落。 现在祝福大家新年好还有点早。这句话俺先憋着,过几天再说。 今天,我要特别感谢我的学生们,无论毕业的,还是在学的,海外的,国内的,是他们充实了我的生活,丰富了我的生活,成就了我的生活。所以,我要感谢生活! 衷心感谢为我们研究组的发展付出劳动、奉献智慧的同学们! (到年底了,要交账了。单位里数数的时候,博文是不算数的,写得再多也不会给你加一分的。所以,娱乐就是娱乐,别当真,更别误了正事。多谢我们的学生,尤其是毕业的学生,今年的成绩还不错。)。 附:动物生理生态学研究组 2009 年论文发表目录( 说明:在学的学生只有一人发了论文,今年毕业的一名学生在答辩前收到了接收函。多数论文是毕业生发表的 ): 1.
