...Hwang says his and Moon's cloning experiments were so complex that there was no eureka moment when they realized they had succeeded. But Hwang plans to celebrate when he gets back to Seoul.

The day after I return to Korea, I'll take out my research team for kalbi (Korean-style ribs). Then we'll regroup and start again...
