At the 5th World Top Scientists Forum ·Science T Conference held on October 30, the world's top scientists, academicians of the two academies, young scientists, young people who love science, the elderly, middle-aged and young generations talked on the same stage.
This Nobel Prize winner
Why does it often go to B station?
At the event, the "Top Scientists Group" composed of academicians of the two academies, Nobel Prize winners, and Fields Medal winners made a wonderful debut. Vice Chairman of the World Association of Top Scientists and winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Professor Michael Levitt told everyone about his love for science. Michael Levitt is a veritable "interdisciplinary competent person". He has studied in mathematics, physics, medicine and other fields, but he won the Nobel Prize in the field of chemistry that has not been systematically studied. He believes that the field of science is interconnected and encourages young people who love science to firmly walk on the path they love.
Michael Levitt said that there are a lot of young people in China, and more and more young people are starting to engage in scientific research. He said: "In the past few years, I have been on B. On B, young people will ask me some very serious questions, and I am very happy to answer everyone's questions on it."
"Things that are very interesting in mathematics may be useless in application." But these things that seemed useless at the time may shine in the future. Professor Efe Dermanov, winner of the 1994 Fields Medal and Fellow of the American Academy of Sciences, introduced the application of mathematics in information revolution to tell the beauty of mathematics.
Efe Dermanov took the "finite domain" as an example. When he was studying, the finite domain was still an existence called "beautiful toy". However, today, this "useless" concept more than 100 years ago has become the basis for the security of smartphones in the information age.
Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences Chu Junhao Talk in an easy-to-understand way, the application of infrared sensing technology in Mars exploration, "Mozi" satellite and other aerospace science and technology, showing the efforts made by scientists to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in the country. Chu Junhao praised the robots brought by the scientific boys with great praise, and encouraged young scientists to set lofty ambitions, inherit the scientific spirit, strive to grow into scientific and technological talents, and contribute to the realization of Chinese-style modernization.
The old, middle-aged and young generation
Together discuss the foundation of scientific innovation
What is the foundation of scientific innovation? Regarding this question, the answer of Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Marine Geology, Professor Tongji University Wang Pinxian is - Curiosity.
Wang Pinxian said that scientific innovation requires inspiration, but inspiration is not available at any time, not anywhere, and not anyone can have it. He said that many people would quote Mendeleev in their dreams to dream of periodic table , and Archimedes realized the buoyancy when taking a bath to illustrate the importance of inspiration, but few people noticed that behind their sparks of inspiration is thinking day and night for a question that others would not care about. "The foundation of scientific innovation is to have curiosity," said Wang Pinxian. "Curiosity can guide you to many new fields."
At the event, Wang Pinxian also received a special gift from Ni Jiazhou, a loyal fan of his, from , Hunan University, - a book that records the results of popular science experiments done by scientific teenagers in the past few years. Ni Jiazhou said that there is a saying in their laboratory, "Don't be blind followers who are confined to conclusions, and strive to be the leader of innovative practice." In his view, scientific innovation is to "challenge your own possibilities, create more possibilities for future development, and in the process, constantly feel the spirit and charm of science."
This young scientist
took an flask on stage
On the stage of the Science T Conference, five young scientists from different fields such as physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence , quantum science, etc. shared the latest achievements in their respective research fields and sent a message to the young scientists.
East China Normal University When Professor Jiang Xuefeng stepped onto the stage, he prepared a flask containing solution. The liquid in this flask, under the rotation of Jiang Xuefeng, went from yellow to red to green... Jiang Xuefeng said that he didn't know that it was called solution at that time, but only knew that this liquid changed into colorful colors in the hands of the chemistry teacher, and this also ignited his enthusiasm and interest in chemistry.
"I followed my interest to love, from love to research, from research to setbacks and failures. "Jiang Xuefeng said that the road of scientific research is not always smooth. He encouraged his classmates to be accustomed to failures and setbacks, "because 90%, 99%, and 99.9% of the road of science and even on the road of life development are failures. Only by iterating in failure, evolving in failure, learning in failure, fighting again in failure, you are the brightest star. "
At the event, the "Future Scientists" training plan jointly implemented by the Shanghai Center of the World's Top Scientists Association and the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission was officially launched. The plan is part of the Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Innovation Education Strategic Collaboration Framework Agreement signed by the Ding Science and Technology Association and the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission. It is committed to promoting the cultivation of innovative talents for young people. It will provide a platform for growth for young people with curiosity and imagination, and for the "light in their eyes" in the subject fields they are studying, learning and engaged in, so that children can grow up around scientists, and cultivate children like science. Scientists also have the logic, divergence and convergence of thinking about scientific problems.
Plant a tree,
The best time is ten years ago,
followed by the present.
This is exactly the
of the "Future Scientists" training plan:
Cultivate scientific talents today,
and hand them over to the future.
