Top international scientists to lead research in Singapore10.03.08 05:11
( dpa ) - Two international scientists will lead cancer and earthquake research at facilities in Singapore, news reports said on Monday.
The cancer facility at the National University of Singapore (NUS) will be headed by Professor Daniel Tenen of Harvard Medical School.
The earthquake centre at Nanyang Technological University will be helmed by California Institute of Technology geologist Kerry Sieh, The Straits Times reported.
The centres could each receive more than 100 million Singapore dollars (72 million US dollars) in funding under a scheme to set up a number of world-class research facilities at universities in the city-state.
Tenen was in a team which identified a mutation in the gene associated with lung cancer, the report said.
Seah will work on a proposal to create an earth observatory focusing on earthquake, coastal and climate hazards.

Singapore has always been said to be safe from earthquakes, but even in recent years, we detect signs that all is not totally safe.

PS 75:2 You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly.
PS 75:3 When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.

God says in Ps 75:3 that when everything is shaken, God is still in control. Using the example of the scariest of all uncertainties (the earthquake), the Bible speaks of the reliability of God.

It is with this same confidence that we know God will judge righteously. Absolute justice is in His hands. Sin will be dealt with and those who hope in God will be vindicated.

PS 75:7 But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.

Today I pause and think of all the injustices that happen everyday to our lives. We cannot go on accumulating frustrations and bitterness. Indeed there is no true rest apart from knowing that God is in control and surrendering to Him.
