Wei Yang becomes the President of Zhejiang University
I had a dinner with Wei Yang the other day. He told me that he would accept the offer to become the President of Zhejiang University, starting this week.
Wei Yang obtained his PhD degree in Solid Mechanics at Brown University, in 1980s, under the direction of Ben Freund. Ever since Wei has been on the faculty of Tsinghua University. He has collaborated with many mechanicians world wide, and produced a large number of students.
Both his father and his son are alumni of Zhejiang University, but Wei himself has no degree from the University.

Dear Anonymous:
In a previous entry, Applied Mechanics in the Age of Web 2.0, I discussed why weblog might be critical to an international community like that of Applied Mechanics.
I also believe that the Internet is the greatest opportunity for scholarly communication. A weblog provides us a platform to begin the exploration.
