The following excerpt is a quote from the Asbury Park Press, regarding Dr. James Gates:
“The symposium in Taiwan was the most exciting event I have ever participated in,” he said. “From meeting famous physicists to discussing, even arguing, about physics subjects with students from all over the world, it will forever influence my love of physics.”
Sauer took the chance to meet renowned physicist James Gates of the University of Maryland, who, until the symposium, he had only seen on television or read about on the news. Gates is to an aspiring physicist what Tiger Woods is to an aspiring golfer.
