If you ask everyone to name a few more representative female scientists in China, I believe many people will mention a person's name, and she is Yan Ning .
As a successful student of Academician Shi Yigong, Yan Ning's achievements have been very dazzling, which makes everyone admire her.
Judging from Yan Ning's resume, there is a very interesting phenomenon. That is, he is both a student of Tsinghua University and a teacher at Tsinghua University. He is both a student of Princeton University and a teacher at Princeton University.
The transformation from a student to a teacher is not easy, but Yan Ning successfully crossed this gap with her persistence and hard work and realized her transformation.
Since going to college, Yan Ning has published dozens of high-level papers in the world's three top journals. Behind these papers is a breakthrough academic achievement, which has played an important role in the development of related industries. Yan Ning before
has some controversy. Her talent is unquestionable, but the location where she works makes some of her compatriots feel uncomfortable.
In 2017, when Yan Ning decided to leave Tsinghua University and go to Princeton University to teach, everyone felt a little disappointed. From a certain perspective, teaching in foreign universities seems to be constantly cultivating talents for foreign countries.
So, everyone sincerely hopes that she can return to China to develop.
However, everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone's life path should be decided by themselves. And there must be a corresponding reason behind each decision. For Yan Ning, it may be for better development or to obtain a purer scientific research environment.
It has been 5 years since leaving Tsinghua to Princeton. Just when everyone thought she would teach abroad, a news came out from Yan Ning.
She is going to return to China to develop in the near future and has applied for resignation to Princedu University.
This message is like a thunder in a winter night, and it attracted great attention when it was heard. Because this decision was the result of how many compatriots had been waiting for for a long time, it has finally become a reality.
When everyone is excited and excited about this, a new question also appears in everyone's mind: Why choose to return to China to develop at this time?
I believe many people have such questions in their hearts. As for the answer to the question, only Yan Ning can tell it himself.
At the 2022 Shenzhen Global Innovation Talent Forum, Yan Ning gave a speech of more than 10 minutes. It was this speech that let everyone know the real reason why she chose this time node to return to China to develop.
In the more than 10-minute speech, Yan Ning talked about her life journey, and she used 3 words to summarize: absorption, proof and output.
In the absorption stage, she is constantly learning to enrich herself. In the proof stage, she has gained everyone's recognition with one high-level academic paper after another. She is experiencing the output stage, and it is also the most important task at the moment, that is, to impart what she has learned to more people, help more people, and support more people.
In Yan Ning's own words, she wants to build a platform to support more outstanding scholars, respond to human health challenges, explore and challenge biomedical problems, make original breakthroughs, and give back to society.
So how can this vision be realized?
When she had this idea, Shenzhen extended an olive branch to her and invited her to become the founding president of the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences. This is Shenzhen’s trust in her and the responsibility it gives her.
Yan Ning did not hesitate at all, but accepted it happily. She then took the initiative to submit her resignation application to Princeton University. You should know that at Princeton University, Yan Ning is a professor with a high status and good treatment in all aspects.
But she still chose to resign without hesitation. In my opinion, she still has a sense of family and country in her heart, and she still hopes to return to the embrace of the motherland and cultivate more outstanding talents for the motherland.
Yan Ning, who became the founding president, will achieve a transformation in his identity in the future, gradually transforming from a scientific researcher to a manager. From doing your own scientific research and academic well in the past, to cultivating more people and guiding more people to change in the future.
In the future, I hope Yan Ning will bloom the "flower of scientific research" in Shenzhen, a city full of hope and vitality, and promote the progress and development of medical-related fields.
