Lin says that during the 11 years in which he was conducting his doctoral and post-doctoral research, he needed from NT $ 600,000 to NT $ 1 million per year to fund experiments and cover travel expenses. Without Wu's support, much of that research would never have been completed.
林宗岐表示，他從碩士班到博士後研究，11 年來，每年約需 60 到 100 萬元的經費來支付實驗、出差等開銷，若不是吳文哲老師支援，許多研究將無以為繼。
