This also reflects the shortcomings of China's scientific and technological circles and talent evaluation system: at present, the application procedures of scientific research projects are too complicated, the evaluation and assessment are too frequent, and the evaluation mechanism places too much emphasis on the number of papers, including the selection of academicians, which cannot escape these stereotypes. In contrast, Tu Youyou's success in Quiet is a spur to this.
Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", Li Aizhen, a researcher at Shanghai Institute of Systems, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other scientists who have made internationally recognized significant scientific contributions but failed to become academicians, as well as a considerable proportion of senior government officials and corporate executives have become academicians, which shows that China's science and technology system, especially the academician system, deserves review.
Undeniably, although the country has carried out great reforms in science and technology plan management and academician system, it is in this respect that Tu Youyou won the prize. Her award-winning research work was completed during the "Cultural Revolution" in China in 1970s. In such a harsh environment, why can researchers win the Nobel Prize? Therefore, it is difficult to hold the view that only a good scientific and technological system can produce high-level scientific and technological achievements.
In the past twenty years, with the continuous development of China's economy, the increasing investment of China government in the field of science and technology, and the promotion of some policies to support scientific and technological talents (such as overseas talent introduction and Jianghu talent plan). ), the number of SCI papers in China ranks second in the world. As a result, people's enthusiasm for the Nobel Prize has gradually increased. In fact, China people's Nobel Prize complex has always been very strong.
Looking back on the deeds of Nobel Prize winners in the past, people who may win the Nobel Prize in a certain year can be found in various media. In this regard, some scholars have said that in the next 50 years, China has no hope of making a major scientific and technological breakthrough or even winning the Nobel Prize. Some experts also believe that it may appear in the "returnees" recruited by China in recent years. However, this year, the Nobel Committee announced that it would award the 20 15 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology to China scientist Tu Youyou (one of the three winners), which made people feel extremely surprised and excited. The announcement of the Nobel Prize proves that scientists born and raised in China can also win the Nobel Prize in Natural Science. At the same time, this "zero" breakthrough should also greatly enhance the self-confidence of Chinese scientists. No matter you are a turtle or a turtle, no matter you are "three all" or "three none", as long as you have made significant and tangible scientific contributions to the survival and development of mankind, the Nobel Prize is likely to patronize you.
