Exploring Unexpected Science by Embracing Serendipity: From Chlorophyll to Global Biosphere

Science is full of surprises. Breakthroughs often come not from careful planning, but from unexpected turns — when we embrace serendipity. In this seminar, I will share an unexpected journey from my research on photosynthesis, tracing a path from chlorophyll-level processes to the global biosphere, and ultimately toward understanding the global land carbon sink.
