Who says women are inferior to men?
Mu Guiying in the new era is repeating itself in China today.
Today, there was sudden big news: Yan Ning, known as "Tsinghua's most beautiful doctoral supervisor", was confirmed as an academician candidate.
The whole news is this: this morning, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering respectively announced the list of valid candidates for the 2023 co-optation of academicians.
Many media noted that Yan Ning of Tsinghua University was selected as a valid candidate.
In fact, since last year, there has been a lot of news about Yan Ning, which is very gratifying.
On December 10 last year, the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences (Preparation) was unveiled, and Yan Ning, who resigned from the faculty at Princeton, announced that he would return to Shenzhen to help establish the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences and serve as the founding president.
On March 23 this year, according to the WeChat public account of Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, Yan Ning, a well-known structural biologist who had previously announced his return from the United States, had been hired as the director of Shenzhen Bay Laboratory.
Yes, you read that right: Yan Ning, a god-level genius in the biomedical field, is taking root in the motherland and working hard to realize his dreams!
What is her dream?
Take a look at Yan Ning's goddess on the Weibo platform:
"Ask yourself, I've achieved something today, not necessarily because I'm smarter and harder, but in large part because I've been lucky over the past two decades:
I am fortunate to always be in the most suitable environment for scientific research, lucky to attract a large number of intelligent and capable doctoral students and postdocs, and lucky to receive several [people-oriented] funding support, which allows me to explore freely and unrestrained in the scientific world that interests me the most.
So in return, I hope to replicate and extend this luck, so that more young people can continue to enjoy the same luck, can rely on [internal drive], rather than the temptations of the outside world, and can explore and develop their potential without worries, so as to make more truly original discoveries. ”
To say that Yan Ning is a great god is indeed not pompous.
She has the talent of a goddess.
Yan Ning's beauty and wisdom coexist, there is a purity that does not eat the world's fireworks, it seems that it has really not been eroded by the years, and he is always a pure red face, always clear eyes, always with a smile at the corners of his mouth, always calm and calm.
Since her appearance on CCTV "Let's Talk" in 2017, the name of the goddess has disappeared. At that time, she was short-sleeved and short-sleeved, her long hair fluttering, earrings, high heels, all the configuration made everyone's eyes stunning...
She has a god-like life.
Born in Zhangqiu, Shandong Province in 1977, Yan Ning is a standard rural girl who plays wildly in the fields all day, going up trees and down rivers.
However, this rural girl, but excellent grades, literary ability is particularly powerful, when she was in middle school, she originally wanted to enter the Chinese department of Peking University, but when she was divided into high school, the teacher suggested that she study science, so this literary and artistic young woman was forced into the science class by the teacher.
In 1996, she was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent grades, and after graduating from Tsinghua University in 2000, she went to study in the Department of Molecular Biology of Princeton University in the United States, becoming Shi Yigong's most proud disciple, and obtained a doctorate in only 4 years.
In October 2007, at the age of 30, Yan Ning returned to his alma mater, Tsinghua University, as a young professor, and achieved countless results, becoming the youngest candidate in the co-opted list of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of 39.
In 2017, she jumped from Tsinghua University to Princeton University, won the "Weizmann Women and Science Award" two years later, and later became a foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences.
From Tsinghua to Princeton, from Princeton to Tsinghua, and then to Princeton, Yan Ning's life trajectory has twists and turns, mixed reviews, no matter what, she has achieved her unique and outstanding life!
She has great achievements!
Yan Ning can be said to be another Chinese female scientist who can single-handedly sensationalize the entire biological community after Tu Youyou.
Let's talk about the remarkable results she led the team to achieve when she was at Tsinghua:
In 2014, she led the team to analyze the three-dimensional crystal structure of the human glucose transporter GLUT1 for the first time, which was published in the world's authoritative scientific journal Nature and was called a "landmark significance".
In 2015, Yan Ning's team further obtained the super-resolution structure of GLUT3-binding substrates and inhibitors with more conformations, thus clearly revealing the molecular basis of the fundamental cellular process of glucose transmembrane transport...
In addition to this scientific research achievement, Yan Ning has also made important contributions to the field of ion channel structure, analyzing the crystal structure of voltage-gated sodium ion channels, all of which have changed the underlying logic of the discipline.
The return of a big bull like Yan Ning to China, take root in Shenzhen, and run for academicians will undoubtedly bring new technologies, bring back new thinking, and thicken the new driving force for scientific and technological progress in Shenzhen and even China.
It is precisely because of Yan Ning's excellence that she enjoys a relatively high reputation and can be said to be an idol-level young female scientist. Her return and continuous growth were cheered by netizens, because everyone knew the significance of talents returning to China.
This is equivalent to Shenzhen and even China, to the world's scientific research talents to collect talents:
China attaches great importance to scientific and technological progress, which is a hot land for scientific research, and it is worthy of scientific and technological talents from all over the world to exert their passion and create brilliance.
The return of top scientists like Yan Ning to China to start a business also means that China's attraction is increasing, because China has a huge market and highly educated talents, and its national strength is constantly improving, and scientific research conditions are constantly improving.
More importantly, because these returned talents have an inseparable patriotism in their hearts and a homesickness that cannot be erased.
Everyone can't forget the scientists of the older generation who are determined to return to China to participate in the construction of New China: Hua Luogeng, Qian Xuesen, Shi Changxu, Deng Jiaxian, Liang Sili, Zhu Guangya...
They carried the lofty ideals of a generation of intellectuals to strengthen the country and enrich the country, appeared where they were most needed with outstanding knowledge, and became the backbone of the country.
A new generation of scientists like Yan Ning has also said that if one day my motherland needs me, I will rush back and do my best to serve the motherland.
After all, Chinese, the best opportunity for development is in China, and the greatest glory is to do more China and help the country prosper and become strong.
I firmly believe that China will usher in a better future!
