The play was directed by Sandra Tsing Loh (BS ‘83) and written by Howard Ho, with Caltech’s Cliff Cheung, professor of theoretical physics and director of the Leinweber Forum for Theoretical Physics, serving as the science advisor. Various actors not affiliated with Caltech played several roles, including Olivia Xing who played Chien-Shiung beautifully. Caltech’s Hirosi Ooguri, the Fred Kavli Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics at Caltech and the Kent and Joyce Kresa Leadership Chair of the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy, played both a waiter in a Chinese restaurant and Wu’s father. Historian David Zierler of the Caltech Heritage Project played J. Robert Oppenheimer.
After the play, David Hitlin, a professor of physics at Caltech, shared personal memories of Wu from the audience—she was his thesis advisor at Columbia University in the 1960s.

Shan’s research primarily focuses on protein biogenesis, tracing the complex molecular pathways that ultimately lead to the production of proteins in the body. It is a long and twisting road from the instructions provided by a genetic code to the creation of new proteins and the manifestation of biological effects. Much can happen along the way. Shan’s research has delved into the various selection and triage mechanisms—these can be thought of as proofreaders and filters—that intervene to ensure that proteins are properly assembled and delivered to their correct locations.
Federal funding for research is crucial to inventing new technologies, like the chip that powers the camera in the phone you're holding. Caltech's provost explains.
