An awardee of the "Father of the Year" in 1994, Dr Bhinyo Panijpan, is a distinguished figure at Mahidol University. He is the recipient of numerous other prestigious awards besides "Mahidol University Distinguished Invention Awardee" in 1998 and "Mahidol University Distinguished Research Awardee" in 1985, only to name a few of the many.
Currently, he works as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry under the Faculty of Science at Mahidol University. A British educated doctorate has a wide range of experiences in legislative, research and teaching know-how. He had been visiting worldwide as a visiting professor from 1979 to 1987 in renowned universities of the U.K and the U.S.A, New Zealand, India and Japan. He has more than hundreds of research papers and not less than fifty publications in international journals.
This living genius who has a proven record in detecting errors in the textbooks used extensively globally visited our class as a keynote speaker for the "Seminar in Science and Technology Education".
"I am sorry I didn't know why they have included this", began the prolific speaking professor, after seeing the slides of the presentation, filled with his inventions. To his credit, he has a long list of inventions on the menu of scientific discoveries.
He educated us on "Past, Present and Future of Science" which was intriguing and fascinating. His explanation was largely dressed in a layman's words that so many complex things were explained simply.
Einstein said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough", don with a grin on his face, reminded the room often.
What I liked about him is not because he happened to be the professor in this international university but that innate potency and calibre in him to cage us in the ring of his lecture. He was a genius in his own lines. The spontaneous rhythm of words that he used was weighty in connotations and easy to be comprehended.
A PhD student requested, "Sir, can I ask you ONE question?". We roared into huge laughter not to her but to the professor who remarked, "Yes. Of course there's no HALF question as such". Interesting intellectual response indeed.
This man has a PhD in Biophysics but is a champion of all disciplines of science. He is a science star who has left footprints with his new inventions in all branches of science. Should he cite some words to extend some explanations to us, words are borrowed from an Einstein's QUOTE dictionary.
With many inventions in his credit, powerful intellectual dimension and witty addressing volume, I submit my reverence and refer to him as a 'LIVING" Einstein.
This seminar was just a synonym to have talked with a reborn Einstein. Or, an equivalent word to describe him is beyond the dictionary of my little brain.
