Touch the top of scientific research with young hands
Thirty-eight years old is the age when many modern people are still struggling on the road, and it is also the age when many middle-aged people are at a low ebb and confused. Thirty-eight-year-old Ren Yonghua is standing at the end of scientific research, wearing the aura of "academician" and shining in the eyes of the whole world.
In 200 1 year, 38-year-old Ren Yonghua was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences. The young inorganic chemist became the youngest female academician in China. It is worth mentioning that her mentor, Academician Zhi Zhiming, also won the highest title as a scientist at the age of 38.
Being elected an academician represents becoming a leader in a certain field, and an academician can also be said to be the honor pursued by all scientists. This is a recognition of your day-to-day scientific research process and your painstaking research results.
We just heard someone say that it is "difficult" to be elected as an academician, but we have no substantive feelings about how difficult it is. Then let's turn our heads and look at some specific statistics.
Statistics show that the average age of academicians of China Academy of Sciences in recent years is generally around 54 years old, while the average age of academicians of China Academy of Engineering remains around 56 years old. Judging from the overall data, the average age of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is about 55 years old, which is also the result of the "rejuvenation of academicians" advocated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for many years. This shows how difficult it is to be an academician.
So how powerful is Ren Yonghua's election as an academician at the age of 38, and what is her scientific research experience?
Smooth sailing, show your talent
Many people may be curious about how many hardships and pains Ren Yonghua had behind his successful life and how many difficulties and setbacks he had overcome before he stood proudly in front of the world.
Before talking about Ren Yonghua's road to scientific research, I believe many people know another amazing female scientist-Yan Ning. Yan Ning is a famous name in the field of scientific research. Her talent and appearance have reached an enviable height, and her road to scientific research is enviable and smooth.
At the age of 27, she received a doctorate in molecular biology from purington University. Became the youngest doctoral tutor in Tsinghua University at the age of 30; At the age of 37, she not only led the team to overcome the scientific problems that have plagued the biological world for half a century, but also became the distinguished professor of the Ministry of Education; At the age of forty, she became a tenured professor at her alma mater, purington University.
At the age of 42, he was elected as a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences. In addition to losing the election as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, her scientific research has rushed to a distant place that we can't see at an enviable speed.
Understand the smooth road of scientific research in Yan Ning, and then look at Ren Yonghua's life. This is the climax of life again and again, and the road of scientific research is smoother than that of Yan Ning.
Ren Yonghua's main research direction is chemical rare materials. From the beginning of research to 20 13, she has published more than 300 high-quality research papers and applied for nearly 30 patents. Because of her outstanding achievements, she won the 2000 Autumn Tea Excellent Researcher Award. A year later, he became an academician of China Academy of Sciences; In the same year, he won the "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" award;
In 2006, she not only won the centenary lectures and medals of the Royal Chemical Society, but also won the lecturer award of the Japanese Photochemical Society (JPA), and was awarded the title of academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences in the same year. The following year, Ren Yonghua also won the "Outstanding Research Achievement Award of Hong Kong University" and the title of "Outstanding Fulbright Scholar in Hong Kong".
20 1 1 won the "World Outstanding Female Scientist Achievement Award" awarded by L 'Oré al-UNESCO. A year later, 49-year-old Ren Yonghua was awarded the title of foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences.
Open Ren Yonghua's resume, the contents of which make her whole life shine with the light of Phnom Penh. All kinds of great honors and colorful achievements are as wonderful as opening a plug-in. She is an indispensable authority in the chemical industry.
"Humble in the spirit of poetry"
1963 was born in Ren Yonghua, Hong Kong, and his parents were not famous scholars. On the contrary, his parents are as simple as us. Her father is a civil engineer and her mother is an unemployed housewife. Her childhood is the same as ours. She is not a genius, and she has no talent, even worse than ordinary children in some studies. However, she is hardworking and can bear hardships. She has to recite what others can remember many times before she can remember it, but she never stints on her own efforts.
Ren Yonghua became interested in science because of a small thermometer. For the first time, she saw the liquid in the broken thermometer turned into a jumping silver ball and slipped under her feet. Thus began her scientific journey.
Ren Yonghua has always looked down on fame and fortune, but her scientific research has always been brilliant: at the age of 25, Ren Yonghua received a doctorate from the University of Hong Kong; At the age of 27, he stayed in school to teach, then he was promoted from lecturer to professor and lecture professor, and even later he became a member of China Academy of Sciences, a member of the Third World Academy of Sciences, and a foreign member of the American Academy of Sciences.
However, Ren Yonghua, who has a lifelong talent, seems to be not inferior in appearance. Yan Ning is the "goddess of Tsinghua", and countless young talents fall for it, while Ren Yonghua is not inferior in appearance or temperament.
Ren Yonghua is known as the "most beautiful academician". Whether she is giving classes to students or facing interview videos, she is calm and unobtrusive. Twenty years of capable short hair, a simple beige shirt and a black suit, Ren Yonghua has simply appeared in people's sight. Her temperament and self-confidence have not been reduced because of her petite and plain appearance, but have become more distinctive and eye-catching.
Ren Yonghua has many honors that many people can't earn all their lives, and there are also many people who can't keep their initial heart and simplicity all their lives. Her plain face shows her confidence and temperament, and the back of her books every day shows her determination to pursue a breakthrough.
Although Ren Yonghua has a smooth road to scientific research, she is not a genius and has no proud background. Behind her is an ordinary family. She has experienced the academic troubles of ordinary people, but she is more persistent and hardworking than ordinary people.
