Omar M. Yaghi, a Nobel laureate in chemistry, explains his recent decision to move from Berkeley to Tsinghua. In a CMG exclusive, he talks about life in China, from everyday conveniences that make life cozy to fresh food and human warmth. More importantly, he values the “let me try” attitude. Having worked with Chinese students for years, he admires their resilience when things don’t go as planned. At Tsinghua, he’s found the right talent and environment to advance molecular science. That is what brought him here.
