Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a new version of the Code of Conduct for Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Trial), which clearly regulates the public remarks of academicians. This provision requires that academicians must not publicly express academic opinions unrelated to their professional field, nor participate in review and evaluation activities unrelated to their duties and majors. This new regulation has aroused widespread attention and discussion among the public.
Many netizens believe that this provision is timely and necessary, because it is true that some academicians use their titles and influence to publicly express opinions unrelated to their majors, which may mislead the public and may also damage the academic prestige of academicians. Stipulating that academicians can only express opinions in their professional fields not only helps to protect the academic prestige of academicians, but also helps the public to correctly understand professional knowledge.
However, He Zuoxiu, a famous physicist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, objected to this. He believes that this kind of regulation restricts the freedom of academicians to express their opinions across borders, is not conducive to the formation of an academic environment of "a hundred schools of thought contending", and is not in line with the open spirit of scientific exploration.
Regarding He Zuoxiu's objections, netizens also expressed different views. Some support Ho's view that scientific exploration should be open and inclusive, encouraging exchange and discussion between different fields. However, it has also been pointed out that Ho Zuoxiu has made some remarks that are unrelated to his profession and may mislead the public, such as his assertion that Chinese medicine is 90% unscientific.
In general, this new regulation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is reasonable in principle, but it is necessary to find a balance in its implementation, both to encourage academic discussion and to regulate the remarks of academicians. As the top scientists of the country, academicians' remarks have a strong social influence, so they should be more cautious when expressing their opinions. At the same time, we should also look at this provision and the discussions around it with an open and rational eye.
Academic Freedom and Social Responsibility: Academic freedom is a fundamental right of scientists, but they should also assume a social responsibility to ensure that their speech does not mislead the public.
The value of cross-border academic exchanges: Cross-border academic exchanges can promote knowledge innovation and dissemination, but how to ensure the quality and depth of cross-border exchanges?
How to train and manage scientists: How to select and train scientists with both deep professional knowledge and broad academic vision?
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is China's highest academic institution and the National Natural Science and High-tech Research and Development Center, and its influence and status are unmatched in China's scientific research community. But for many people, what kind of existence is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and how does it affect our lives and future?
Founded in 1949, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the first academic institution after the founding of New China, and its predecessor was the China Science Society. Since its establishment, CAS has been committed to providing knowledge support and technical support for the country's economic construction, social development and scientific and technological progress.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences has a number of institutes and laboratories, covering various fields of natural science, from basic research to applied research. In addition, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also has its own university, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, to cultivate high-level and innovative scientific and technological talents for the country.
As a national scientific research center, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has a large number of scientific research achievements every year. These achievements not only promote the progress of science, but also make great contributions to the country's economic development and the improvement of people's lives. For example, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has outstanding research achievements in the fields of new energy, biomedicine, and information technology.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is not only a domestic scientific research giant, but also an important partner in the world. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has extensive cooperation with many top scientific research institutions and universities in the world to jointly carry out scientific research projects, train graduate students, and exchange academic achievements.
With the rapid development of science and technology and the country's emphasis on scientific research, the status and role of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will become more prominent. In the future, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will continue to make greater contributions to the country's scientific and technological innovation and economic and social development.
conclusion
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is an important engine of national scientific and technological innovation, and every research achievement and every scientific research project is closely related to our lives. To understand the Chinese Academy of Sciences is to understand China's scientific and technological progress and future development.
