News background:
At the 2022 Shenzhen Global Innovative Talents Forum held on the morning of June 1 65438+1October/KLOC-0, 2002, Yan Ning personally indicated that he would resign from Princeton University and set up the Academy of Medical Sciences in Shenzhen. On the 2nd, Yan Ning responded to the news of his return to China on the Weibo and boarded the hot search again.
Ask yourself, what I have achieved today is not necessarily because I am smarter and more diligent, but largely because I have been lucky for more than 20 years: I have been in the most suitable environment for scientific research, and I have been lucky to attract a large number of smart and capable doctors and postdocs in Zhong Ling, and I have been lucky to get several people-oriented financial support before and after, allowing me to explore freely in the most interesting scientific world.
In return, I very much hope that this lucky copy can continue, so that more young people can continue to enjoy the same luck, and can rely on the internal driving force instead of all kinds of temptations from the outside world to explore and show their potential carefree, so as to make more truly original discoveries.

Who's Yan Ning?
She is the first Shirley Tillman tenured professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. This is a unique title in the United States, known as the ceiling of biological science, so her return shocked countless scientific leaders. Yan Ning, just 45 years old, has come almost all the way.
In 20 17, he became a tenured professor at the invitation of Princeton university, and became an academician of different disciplines in the United States in 19 and 2 1 year, which won a great reputation in whatever name.
Her team analyzed the three-dimensional crystal structure of human glucose transporter for the first time in the world, which is called a 50-year puzzle and can be said to be a milestone. Later, she published 19 papers in the world's most influential top academic journal Science Cell, which were cited by many parties.
Why can the return of a scientist cause widespread discussion?
I think this is not only Yan Ning's scientific research achievements for mankind and her future scientific research level, but also her love for the motherland and people and her desire to do something for her country and compatriots. Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have their motherland. After returning to China, Yan Ning expressed his deep patriotism with practical actions.
Scientists with international reputation have more choices. However, when she heard the news of the establishment of Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences, in her words, she was hasty. She submitted her resignation application to Princeton University, voluntarily gave up many people's unimaginable honor and generous treatment, and decided to return to China full-time as the first president of Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences. This kind of courage deserves our applause.
So what impact will Yan Ning's return have?
In recent years, the domestic scientific research environment has been improving, including salary, scientific research environment and policy support. Yan Ning joined the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences. The name sounds ordinary, but in fact, the specifications are very high. In the central document of building a socialist demonstration zone, it is named to build a new mechanism of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and Shenzhen has accordingly put forward new mechanisms such as indefinite establishment, indefinite grades, independent post setting, board governance, academic autonomy, etc., and made great efforts.
It is hoped that after 10 and 20 years, Shenzhen will occupy an important position in the world biomedical map, and it is also hoped that Yan Ning's scientific research achievements will benefit more people.
Written in the last sentence: I personally don't quite understand what the research done by Yan Ning is, which sounds very high, but we know the efforts and efforts behind her, and study wholeheartedly for a hope that may change the fate of many people. I think such people are the "stars" we should pursue.
