It is indeed a bit of a pity that Tu Youyou is not a member of the two academies, but there are also reasons for this. The main reason is that it is believed in China that artemisinin is not the work of Tu Youyou alone, but a collective work. The discovery of artemisinin has been a very tortuous and bumpy journey, and the country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to find the right remedy. Tu Youyou was working in a very large team, and it was not the work of one person. Therefore, Tu Youyou also admitted that she did not think of being selected as an academician at that time.

The reason why Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize is not possible without the promotion of Yang Zhenning. Yang Zhenning recognized the gold at a very early stage, and awarded the "Seeking the truth" prize to Tu Youyou, who was unknown at that time, and since then Tu Youyou came into the public's attention. Yang was qualified to recommend candidates to the Nobel Prize Committee, and he had hoped to help a Chinese insulin research team to apply for the Nobel Prize in the early 70s, but unfortunately, China rejected it, saying that it was a prize for a capitalist country. Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize, inevitably without Yang Zhenning's strong recommendation. It was previously rumored that Rao Yi was also credited with the recommendation, but that has been debunked.

Tu Youyou became famous because of Yang Zhenning's promotion, this time is already in the 90s, Tu Youyou is already more than 60 years old. The condition for selecting academicians is that they should not be over 65 years old, otherwise they have to go through special procedures. With Tu Youyou's connections and reputation at that time, she obviously did not have the qualifications to go through special procedures.

Tu Youyou's win of the Nobel Prize triggered a great shock in China, especially when some people said that she was a "three nos" person (no doctorate, no overseas background, no academician title) who won the Nobel Prize, which made it difficult for those bigwigs in the scientific community.

In fact, this issue has to be seen through the phenomenon.

However, her award does make it necessary to reflect on China's research system.

First, our current academic evaluation system emphasizes too much on quantity, while the phenomenon of quality is still present. China is now the world's largest paper country, but not a strong paper country, especially many papers are produced and put in the pile of paper, basically no one to cite. Therefore, we need to strengthen the quality of thesis.

Secondly, the administrative coloration of scientific research results needs to be diluted. Those who take up the leadership or the main responsibility in a scientific research team should be people with higher academic attainments rather than those with higher administrative positions. This is the only way to release the hands of researchers so that they can do a good job in their own research projects.

Thirdly, we are not in the know as to why Tu Youyou failed to be elected as an academician, so we can't jump to conclusions. However, Yuan Longping has also been elected as an academician of CAS three times.

So these events are really an opportunity for reflection and for us to think about how to improve China's research system and evaluation system.

Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in medicine, but repeatedly failed to be selected as an academician. This matter is actually normal when it is said to be abnormal, and there is actually something to reflect on when it is said to be normal.

The selection of academicians and the selection of Nobel Prizes will not be a set of criteria, as is the case in almost all countries. There are many examples of people who were not academicians when they won the Nobel Prize, such as Ding Zhaozhong, who discovered the J-particle in 1974, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976, and was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1977.

We must face up to the fact that Tu Youyou's Nobel Prize is relatively "unusual" among all the Nobel Prizes.

Her interpersonal relationship is poor, and there are many media who believe that Tu Youyou's ability to win the award has a lot to do with the promotion of Rao Yi, who is currently the director of the Department of Science at Peking University, who has publicized Tu Youyou's work in science and has also expressed his dismay at some of Tu's practices in his articles on the history of science and technology. Tu Youyouyou has run for academician many times, and some sources revealed that every time, someone would sue her, which is the key to her failure to be elected as an academician. In the selection of domestic academicians, there is a one-vote veto for ethical issues, while there is no ethical requirement in the selection of the Nobel Prize.

In addition, Tu Youyou's award has a certain element of chance. The discovery of artemisinin is of course very valuable, but it was made by a very inefficient method, which can be said to be almost worthless nowadays. Some people say that the selection process of academicians nowadays pays much attention to how many papers have been published and where they have been published, and that Tu Youyou and Yuan Longping have suffered from the loss of papers. The achievements of Tu Youyou and Yuan Longping were made decades ago, when domestic science and technology were very backward, and there was not much effective convergence with the international community. Nowadays, publishing papers, especially in top journals, is the most important and effective means to promote one's research to peers. It is only right that academicians should emphasize papers in their selection.

In the case of Tu Youyou, we have suffered from not knowing how to standardize the treatment of research results. China first discovered artemisinin to treat malaria, but the patent fell into the hands of foreigners. Such a question is more valuable than why Tu Youyou is not an academician.

Original work, infringement is prohibited and will be prosecuted.

After Tu Youyou won the award, some people wrote a joint letter to the Nobel jury, saying that it was the result of collective research. They suggested that the award should be canceled. However, the jury did not know that before the award, they sent someone to Tu's home to verify the results face to face with Tu Youyouyou. 80 years old woman, with a clear mind, faced the visitors and showed them the scientific research data she had saved one by one to verify the results of the process of interpretation. The judges of the Nobel Prize finally decided that Tu Youyou had played a key role in the research and development results.

This is normal, nothing special, just a different evaluation system. The Chinese Academy of Sciences follows the early traditional evaluation system, focusing on the exploration and innovation of basic theories, which is directly reflected in the results of papers and theses, but also with reference to a certain social value. Obviously, this could not include some major projects that could bring great value to the society, so the Chinese Academy of Engineering was established later. The project of Tu Youyou lasted for a long time, and its results were mainly applied in foreign countries. Although the value is huge, in the view of domestic scholars, the artemisinin extraction technology is only a conventional process. From theory to engineering process is only the application level. Enough to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering evaluation standards. The selection of the Nobel Prize will consider the contribution of the results to the human society, which has a certain humanistic sentiment. And Tu Youyou's results obviously meet the criteria.

An honor that only came after 60 years of research, Tu Youyou, who graduated from Peking University in 1955, spent her life's pursuit before acquiring the world's Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2015.

A lifetime of research on artemisinin treatment of lupus erythematosus and yueji has greatly reduced the mortality rate of these two diseases. Therefore, Tu Youyou poured her life's energy as well as happiness on the path of research. It is a discipline with a large audience compared to generalized disciplines as well as other clinical disciplines. At the same time, artemisinin is the material of the basic medicine of traditional Chinese medicine. The development and process of this traditional medicine crosses both the Chinese tradition and the process of modern pharmaceutical preparations. Its therapeutic and clinical data and efficacy. It is a complicated process, and Tu Youyou has been practicing and experimenting year after year in solitude and on her own, spilling her youth and beautiful passion and research. It is also true that with the persistence of Tu Youyou and her team, Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has blossomed into the world's greatest medical effect.

In contrast, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering are more concerned with the research of common disciplines or the same subjects in other countries of the world. Academic exchanges and theoretical discussions in generic disciplines have had stage-by-stage results and breakthroughs. This kind of research and experimentation has stage-by-stage results. The popularity of the scientists will have publicity and influence. This general and independent disciplines of the research object problem, so that many scientists with great contributions did not get the international and national honorary awards. The more prominent father of the world's rice, Professor Yuan Longping for China and the world's food contribution is recognized worldwide.

In conclusion, our country and people will not forget the positive contributions of scientists to humanity in our world. These achievements are also the bright stars in the history of human society.

Quite simply, academicians are formulaic selections. You can't prove that you can be an academician if you don't fulfill these conditions!

Tu Youyou

That's why Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize, which surprised everyone.

And the Nobel Prize doesn't use a formula to calculate, it looks at your contribution!

Tu Youyou led her team to research artemisinin, which has made great contributions to mankind, and it is only natural that she was awarded the Nobel Prize!

Real scientists are very low-profile, never compete with others, and only focus on scientific research. Tu Youyou is such a person!

Mo Yan, before he won the Nobel Prize, not many people knew him and he was not very famous. Many so-called famous writers have long been famous in the world, but Mo Yan honestly cultivated his creation in a room where not many people knew him!

Just like the whole day chirping and screaming can only be sparrows and can not do the phoenix! As the saying goes, ten years of hard study goes unquestioned, and once you're famous, the whole world knows it.
Pictured here is Mo Yan

In fact, like Mo Yan, Tu Youyou such obscure writers, scientists, there are many people, they are not academicians, celebrities, they are the ordinary people no one asked!

Science is honest learning; it will always speak by its results, not by any name!

For example, some members of the Writers' Association nowadays have a big title, but they are not seen writing a few words all year round. Is there a writer in the world who does not write?

Titles are imaginary, results are! Get real and do something. To hell with so-called titles! Like, comment, follow, and retweet for me if you think Heroes Refuse Dusk has a point!

(1) On October 5, 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She is the first local Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize and the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, and she has been jokingly referred to as a "three-no's (no doctoral degree, no background in foreign countries, and no academician's title)" scientist, but she and her team have made a breakthrough in the field of natural science. She and her team realized the zero breakthrough of Chinese people in the field of natural science Nobel Prize.

(2) The fact that Tu Youyou, who is not an academician of the two academies, won the Nobel Prize shows that: 1) China's scientific research system needs to be improved, and there are certain problems in the selection system and conditions of academicians; 2) the quantity and quality of scientific research papers need to be improved, even though the number of papers in China increases every year, the quality of the papers needs to be improved; 3) the administrative coloration of the scientific research results should be diluted, and the people who know about scientific research should be allowed to manage and lead the field of scientific research in order to This is the only way to revitalize China's scientific research; 4) China's ability to transform scientific research results into practical use needs to be further improved; 5) For scientific researchers with good character and strong scientific research ability, if necessary, we should break the constraints of the system and academic qualifications and reuse them; 6) We should improve the treatment of scientific researchers, so that they do not have to worry about the financial aspect on the way to the charge of scientific research;

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

I do not know why Tu Youyou was not recognized as an academician of the two academies, and I dare not comment on it. However, she is the first meritorious scientist in China's medical field to win the Nobel Prize, the world's highest award, and her name is now well deserved.

It is said that China's famous father of rice research, Yuan Longping, is not a member of the two academies. This I wondered, in China why so many academicians can not get the world scientific research awards, do not make a huge contribution to the world's attention, but not academicians of the two academies of the people but hold back the heavy awards, the results of the amazing it? Is the world awards mixed with water, or Chinese academicians have a false name?

I think: the world prize is built on a certain scientific theory, deep philosophy, outstanding contributions to the thick soil, not false, recognized worldwide. On the contrary, we should be our academician selection system for further selection and screening. To be in today's competitive world of science and technology tide, the torrent, breaking the waves, in the selection of academicians of the two academies of management, it is necessary to de-administrative, de-bureaucratic, de-hypocrisy, to China's two academies of the real into a result, out of the real results, out of the cutting-edge innovation and elite team, and do not want to become a figure of a name, only screaming does not lay eggs of the chicken.

In short, whether Tu Youyou is an academician or not is not really important, what matters is her great research results, which will benefit the world and shine brightly in the dry autumn.

Although Tu Youyou and Yuan Longping are not academicians. But in the hearts of the people wish to be science academician. Evaluated not evaluated, with the history and the fact that the test can be, there is no achievement, evaluated also, people's hearts are not necessarily accepted, did the achievement, not evaluated, the people also still respect them. There are those who have been exploring science in silence, and there are those who have been given honorary treatment, but the number of places is limited, right? Sometimes honorary treatment does still have something to do with luck.
