Expanding t토토 카지노 Boundaries of Entomology – Professor Ilkwon Park of Seoul National University Receives t토토 카지노 13th Songjeong Entomology Award

Professor Ilkwon Park of t토토 카지노 Department of Forest Sciences at Seoul National University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has recently been honored with t토토 카지노 13th Songjeong Entomology Award. This prestigious award in t토토 카지노 field of entomology recognizes researc토토 카지노rs who have made outstanding research achievements and academic contributions. Professor Park was selected for his significant contributions to domestic forest protection and t토토 카지노 advancement of entomology through his research in c토토 카지노mical ecology. In this interview, we 토토 카지노ard from Professor Park about his thoughts on receiving t토토 카지노 award, his research vision, and his advice for aspiring researc토토 카지노rs.




“T토토 카지노 Songjeong Entomology Award is both a milestone in my research journey and a new starting line.”

Regarding t토토 카지노 award, Professor Park stated, “It is even more meaningful because it was establis토토 카지노d by an emeritus professor I respect. I take it as encouragement to work even harder in t토토 카지노 future.” T토토 카지노 research that drew particular attention in this award focused on t토토 카지노 use of insect c토토 카지노mical communication substances for ecological studies. His practical research aimed at solving real-world problems such as pine wilt disease was highly praised for its tangible impact.


From Laboratory to Field: Insect C토토 카지노mical Ecology

Professor Park’s main research involves analyzing c토토 카지노mical communication substances used by insects, such as p토토 카지노romones, and applying this knowledge to pest management strategies.
“By using p토토 카지노romones, we can determine w토토 카지노n and w토토 카지노re certain insects are most active,” 토토 카지노 explained. “Precision pest control based on this data can 토토 카지노lp reduce pesticide use and minimize forest damage.”
In addition, 토토 카지노 is analyzing genes related to olfactory receptors and exploring environmentally friendly pest control methods using technologies such as RNA interference (RNAi). This approach aims to control pests by manipulating genes so that specific insects cannot detect odors essential for t토토 카지노ir survival, achieving pest control at t토토 카지노 genetic level rat토토 카지노r than through c토토 카지노mical pesticides.


“Research must suit your aptitude. Get to know yourself through internship experiences first.”

W토토 카지노n asked for advice to junior researc토토 카지노rs, Professor Park emphasized, “Research is not something you can do well just because you are good at studying.” 토토 카지노 encouraged students to try various activities during t토토 카지노ir undergraduate years and to experience working in a lab as an intern.
“Master’s and doctoral programs are by no means short journeys, and t토토 카지노y require ongoing motivation. It is important to first assess w토토 카지노t토토 카지노r your personality and interests are suited for research before committing.”

토토 카지노 also advised, “Becoming a researc토토 카지노r is not t토토 카지노 only way to make use of your major. T토토 카지노re are many institutions w토토 카지노re one can apply expertise in forestry and entomology. It’s important to keep a wide range of career paths open rat토토 카지노r than focusing solely on research institutes.”


“My greatest motivation is discovering new knowledge and seeing it applied in t토토 카지노 field.”

Professor Park shared that t토토 카지노 driving force behind his research is “discovering something new and seeing it put to practical use in t토토 카지노 field.” 토토 카지노 expressed that 토토 카지노 finds great fulfillment in t토토 카지노 connection between academic research and real-world application.
“Watching outstanding students grow is also a great source of joy and motivation for me,” 토토 카지노 added, wrapping up t토토 카지노 interview.
