Reference excerpt

Jum Sook Chung (Korean: 정점숙) is a South Korean carcinologist who researches the impact of neuroendocrine regulation on crustacean physiology, sex differentiation, and stress responses. She is a professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology.

Education Jum Sook Chung completed a B.S. from Pusan National University in 1979. In 1981, she earned a M.S. in the department of zoology at Seoul National University. Her academic supervisor was Cho Wan-kyoo. Chung earned a Ph.D. in the department of entomology at Texas A&M University in 1991 under academic advisor Larry L. Keeley.

Career Chung was a research associate in the department of biology at Birkbeck, University of London from 1991 to 1994. She was a research scientist in the school of biological sciences at University of Wales from 1994 to 2003. Chung was an assistant professor in the center of marine biotechnology at the University of Maryland Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research from 2004 to 2010. In 2010, she joined the faculty at University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology. She was promoted to associate professor in 2012. Chung is a professor.

Research Chung researches the impact of neuroendocrine regulation on crustacean physiology, sex differentiation, and stress responses. Her laboratory sequenced and mapped the full genome of a Callinectes sapidus.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with J. Sook Chung

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what J. Sook Chung claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to J. Sook Chung before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about J. Sook Chung ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of J. Sook Chung

In research: J. Sook Chung appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses J. Sook Chung in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: J. Sook Chung is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century South Korean scientists, 21st-century South Korean women scientists, 21st-century zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for J. Sook Chung outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
