inspiring! On November 1, 2022, structural biologist Yan Ning announced that he will resign from his teaching position at Princeton University in the United States and serve as the founding president of the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences. Once this news was announced, it immediately reached the top spot in the hot search, causing a tide of applause. Everyone expressed their welcome to return to China. Some people admired that Yan Ning did not change his original intention, it was great! Some people also kindly reminded you to pay attention to safety and return safely.
So, why could Yan Ning cause such a sensation, and who is she? In November 1977, Yan Ning was born in Zhangqiu, Shandong. She has been talented and intelligent since childhood, diligent and studious, and always has the spirit of breaking the casserole to ask the end. It is this rigorous and realistic style of study that allowed her to get the admission ticket to Tsinghua University at the age of 18, and was able to devote herself to studying and researching in this highest institution of learning in China.
Yan Ning is very beautiful and is the kind that is enough to be ashamed of the flowers and the moon without deliberately dressing up. However, her external beauty and her inner desire for scientific knowledge are insignificant. No difficulty can hinder her unremitting exploration on the path of science. In good times and bad times, she can climb the peak of science again and again, and achieve outstanding achievements that have attracted the attention of the world.
After Yan Ning graduated, he went to study in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University in the United States. It took her only five years to complete the daunting master-doctoral program. Her mentor is the thunderous Shi Yigong Professor. In Yan Ning's heart, he never forgot that he is a Chinese. In 2007, Yan Ning returned from his studies and taught at his alma mater, , Tsinghua University School of Medicine.
Back then, she was not only the youngest doctoral supervisor at Tsinghua University, but also made great achievements in the structure and function of membrane protein . Yan Ning is not only good at scientific research, but also has no ambiguity in training students. He is deeply respected and loved by everyone. Even the two authoritative magazines recognized by the scientific community, "Science" and " Nature ", highly praised Yan Ning's research achievements and breakthrough contributions. From 2009 to 2012, she also won the honors of " China Science Star " and "Science and Technology Figures Award that Influences China".
The young and promising Yan Ning has become an inspirational story for many parents to educate and encourage their children. Time is like water, and in a blink of an eye it is 2017. At this time, Yan Ning is more perfect in the field she cultivates. Her influence is incomparable to the past, both at home and abroad. Suddenly, she announced a shocking and regrettable news that she was about to leave her alma mater, Tsinghua University, and serve as a tenured professor of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University.
This really caused a thousand waves! Some people speculate that she announced that she had left Tsinghua not long ago and that she was not elected as an academician. Did she leave her in anger for three consecutive times? Some people also said that the domestic scientific research environment could not provide her with the atmosphere and conditions she needed at that time, and the United States happened to be able to do so, so she went there to develop. Of course, these are all suspicions of some people who are eating melons.
After Yan Ning arrived in the United States, she still maintained her perseverance and meticulous spirit. She once again proved her strength to the world with facts. Yan Ning solved a problem that no one could solve in the biology community for 50 years and was successfully elected as a foreign academician of , the American Academy of Sciences. However, none of this matters. Because just yesterday, she had publicly expressed her good wishes to return to China to serve.
From everyone's kind reminder, we felt a little worried. In fact, it is no longer a strange thing for Chinese American scientists to return to China. According to the results of a joint survey by the three American academic giants, , Harvard , Princeton and , MIT , in the past year, at least 1,400 Chinese scientists have returned to China, and this data is more than twice that in 2011.#Scientist Yan Ning announced his return from the United States#
What causes this phenomenon? It’s not a day to freeze three feet! Some people pointed out that this phenomenon has always been around, but the Trump administration’s launch of the “China Action Plan” has pushed it to a new climax. The plan was proposed by the then President Trump and was implemented by the US Department of Justice (somewhat similar to our country's procuratorate) to deal with foreign "security and technological threats". The focus is on Chinese scientists, including more than 150 people including Hu Anming, You Xiaorong, Li Xiaojiang, etc.
In fact, this wave of irritating operations in the United States is completely troubled by mediocre people. Today's China is no longer the poor and weak China that year. We have developed rapidly on the road of modernization and industrialization, and have even surpassed the United States in some areas. From the perspective of science and technology, we are cultivating more and more top academic talents and overcoming many world-class problems. The so-called "stealing" of the United States' scientific research results is nothing more than a boring move made by several self-righteous people. This false judicial operation of
undoubtedly makes some Chinese scientists feel chilled and uneasy, and objectively prompts them to make up their minds to return to their motherland. But Gang Ge believes that the main reason for Professor Yan Ning's return should be that China's scientific research environment and scientific research capabilities have been greatly improved and improved, making up for many shortcomings in that year. Therefore, after returning to China, you can still engage in research in your own field, and you will also have a stable working and living environment. In addition to these, scientists' patriotism is also one of the important factors.
So, how can we better retain scientists?
As we all know, many outstanding students trained by the two top universities of Tsinghua and Peking University study abroad, most of them went to the United States on the other side of Atlantic , and even became an American citizen. How much manpower, material resources and energy we have spent, and they are gone forever. There is certainly a reason behind the illogical situation.
Careful analysis is nothing more than solving the following problems.
First of all, it is to solve the problem of salary and benefits. Although we have improved in this regard, there is still a certain gap between us and developed countries. "It is better to sell tea eggs than to build missiles and " is definitely exaggerated, but the income of scientists may not be comparable to that of some celebrities and even hosts of goods. This strange phenomenon should also be corrected.
Secondly, it is the rectification of the academic atmosphere and academic atmosphere. Seniority must not be used to determine heroes by their achievements and abilities. In colleges and universities, there are still more or less criticized evaluation models in professional title evaluation and some areas involving honor and treatment.
In any case, China's development cannot be separated from scientific research, and scientific research cannot be separated from these patriotic scientists. I hope more Chinese scientists will return to China to develop. The motherland needs you, and you cannot live without the motherland. Yan Ning's return to China is of great significance, and it shows the arrival of a new era of scientific research in our country. Let the flag of patriotism fly high! I wish our great motherland prosperity and prosperity, and China will surely rise to the east and stand tall among the world's strongest people! What do you think about this?
