I know from my contacts with Korean scientists the enormous strides that have taken place in Korea and the efforts you are making to establish scientific contacts with the international community. I have supported such moves, particularly when I was President of Royal Society. In the interests of the international standing and reputation of Korean science, it would be helpful if you could look into the merits of Dr Kim's case and give him the appropriate support. Yours sincerly, Michael Atiyah |
