Warm-upDiscovery of the year
The most important; especiallygreat pleasureIn the endPraise someone by giving something goodSpeaking436512Listening Fill in the blanks Welcome to the Roseland Centre. It is an honor to be here tonight as we present the award for Discovery of the Year.
The winners this year have done a great job to help us understand human health. Their discovery will certainly improve our quality of life in the years to come.
This discovery wasn’t made easily. I want to take this time to share some of their difficulties with you. They spent long hours in laboratories, libraries, offices and at home. Some had the support of their husbands and wives, others did not. I have great respect for their hard work. Without the most modern equipment, they did their best with what they had.
And above all, they never gave up.
Just like Charles Kettering, who said, “Believe and act as if
it were impossible to fail,” these hardworking researchers tried experiment after experiment until they made a discovery that will change all of our lives for the better.
While we honor you this evening, we mustn’t forget everyone who has worked so hard this year. All of you have done great work and we had a very difficult time making a final choice this year.
So, in closing, I wish you a wonderful evening as we celebrate these great achievements. Now let’s give a warm round of applause to our chairman who will present the award
