Furthermore, Zhaojin visited UC Davis after the conference and communicated with four famous professors majored in ecology including Prof. Strauss, Prof. Strong, Prof. Young and Prof. Karban who are known for their contribution to the ecology and evolution. During this short visit, four professors’ thought on ecological research and the atmosphere of UC Davis impressed Zhaojin and made her realized that there is a long way to be a good researcher.
