Talent is the core competitiveness of national development, in the mainland's talent system, academicians belong to the highest level of academic titles, generally lifelong honors, they profoundly affect the development of basic science and cutting-edge science and technology, drive and promote the progress of key technologies, and contribute great strength to cultivating more talents.
At the same time, people's expectations for academicians are getting higher and higher, and every time academician candidate recommendation, effective candidate announcement, academician co-election will cause great attention and discussion, which will inevitably appear some discordant voices, including some rational and reasonable suggestions.
From the perspective of education and scientific development, full discussion is not a bad thing, it will be more conducive to academicians to play their due role and provide intellectual support for the development of the industry in their respective fields.
Recently, we have seen a piece of good news: the Chinese Academy of Sciences has released a new version of the Code of Conduct for Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Trial), which adds a new chapter on "prohibited behaviors" on the basis of the old version, which clearly stipulates:
Academicians are prohibited from publicly publishing academic opinions unrelated to their own professional fields.
In addition, it also stipulates that academicians need to focus on the main business and play their own academic leading role, and in-service academicians should insist on carrying out front-line scientific research work in professional fields, and the time spent on scientific research is generally not less than two-thirds, and go deep into the front line of scientific research to solve practical problems.
Objectively speaking, these two provisions are beyond reproach, academicians are originally the top celebrities in the professional field, of course, they must play the value in the professional field, lead academic development, if they switch to other fields, may not be able to give correct guidance, and even deviate from the direction, this is the basic truth and logic.
For the new regulations released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences this time, netizens generally applauded, professional people do professional things, very good!
But at the same time, there are many people who are not calm, and shouted out the three words "Academician He" in the comment area, and friends who often surf the Internet know that the Academician He mentioned here actually refers to Academician He Zuoxiu.
Some people think that the new rules feel like naming Academician He, and even some people directly ask Academician He Zuoxiu, hoping that Academician He can come out and respond; Some people are also worried that Academician He will retire with the release of the new regulations and no longer express his opinions on the Internet.
In fact, how can the new rules of the Chinese Academy of Sciences only target individuals? The new regulations are definitely an improvement on the basis of practice and the original regulations, and more importantly, to eliminate the occurrence of some phenomena in advance.
Unexpectedly, the new regulations have just been released and have worked, and Academician He Zuoxiu really took the initiative to explain!
This is the result that many people did not expect, it stands to reason that when this prohibitive new regulation is released, ordinary people will actively avoid it, some will change it, and if not, there is no need to explain it publicly.
And Academician He Zuoxiu is still as straightforward as ever!
Academician He said that the new regulations do not affect him for three reasons:
1. The new regulations are only "trial" and have not been formally noticed;
2. Academician He believes that he was invited by Academician Zou Chenglu (Academician He made a typo, written as Guo) to participate in the physicists who opposed pseudoscience in biomedicine, because at that time Academician Zou did not know that biophysics also involved some contents of professional physics;
3. Academician He's other major is the philosophy of science, he is also a doctoral supervisor, and has also trained a group of doctoral students in this major, and one of the responsibilities of the philosophy of science major is: to oppose pseudoscience.
Therefore, Academician He Zuoxiu finally concluded:
Even if the new rules of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are formally adopted, it will not affect his criticism of the "non-scientific content of traditional Chinese medicine".
Seeing this, I believe everyone understands that this is Academician He Zuoxiu taking the initiative to explain, because everyone believes that "prohibiting academicians from publicly publishing academic opinions unrelated to their professional field" is closely related to him, why do you say this?
According to public information, Academician He Zuoxiu is a particle physicist, theoretical physicist, Marxist-Leninist theoretical expert, graduated from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University in 1951, mainly engaged in particle theory, atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb theory research in the early days, and is also the main researcher of the Chinese quark model research group.
What are the main academic achievements of Academician He Zuoxiu?
Objectively speaking, although the data show that Academician He Zuoxiu is one of the participants in the "two bombs" study, he has not seen much information on specific results, one of which is:
The weak interaction, especially the problem of pounding (c), has been deeply studied, a series of new selection laws have been discovered, the equation derived by Chew-Mandelstam has been seriously wronged for the first time, the layer sub-model has been cooperatively studied, and a new system of composite particle quantum field theory has been established.
Academician He Zuoxiu's academic works also mainly focus on opposing pseudoscience and philosophical science, such as focusing on the philosophical issues related to Marxism-Leninism in particle physics research, and later adjusting the research direction to the research of cosmology and dark matter, discussing whether the universe had a beginning and where the Big Bang came from.
Especially in terms of traditional Chinese medicine, Academician He Zuoxiu has always insisted that there is a lot of pseudoscience in traditional Chinese medicine, and has made many controversial remarks about it, believing that only 10% of the essence of traditional Chinese medicine can be absorbed into the contemporary evidence-based medicine system, and the remaining 90% is dregs that should be discarded.
In this case, some people think that Academician He Zuoxiu said unprofessional things, which is not a matter in the professional field, and always raises objections, will it affect the development of Chinese medicine?
From the perspective of respecting knowledge and talents, everyone has the right to express their views, Academician He Zuoxiu is old, and the views he publishes on the Internet will not have a substantial impact on the development of the industry, which should be agreed upon, just an old man is solving loneliness.
The new rules of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are more about regulating the words and deeds of influential academicians, who are distributed in major scientific research institutes and undertake important scientific research tasks, and any unprofessional views will have an impact on the industry.
However, since the new rules have come out, Academician He Zuoxiu will probably weigh and speak!
