Fame and fortune are paramount, whose fault is it?
We all think that scientific research is a lofty field, but in fact, there are a lot of tricks in it. Just like we chase stars, we always see those big scientists with infinite scenery, but we don't notice that there may be unsavory things behind them. A critic named Xiang Ligang said that China's scientific research circle is now almost chaotic with the football world, which is really shocking!
Scientific research "big coffee" show: title is more important than achievement?
To be honest, the current scientific research circle is really chaotic. Everyone thinks that as long as you can get a bunch of titles and awards, then you are an uncle. Therefore, these scientific researchers are desperately competing for those foreign awards and honors, as if having these can show how powerful they are.
But if you ask them what scientific research results have been made, many people will probably not be able to say clearly, or simply say, "I don't understand this, and I don't know that." This makes people quite strange: what are we engaged in scientific research for? Is it just to win a few titles and awards?
Actually, it's not that these "big guys" don't know anything. Some people do make a name for themselves abroad, but as soon as they return to China, they seem to be dazzled by fame and fortune, and forget why they did scientific research in the first place. They are busy holding meetings, building relationships, and finding projects all day long, leaving the real scientific research work behind. This situation is really distressing, and it also makes people worry about what the future of our scientific research community will be.
Research "Dinner Culture": Relationships Are More Critical Than Technology?
Nowadays, in the scientific research circle, "eating" seems to be more important than doing experiments. Researchers are busy attending various dinners and dealing with people all day long, but they forget about the real research work. This kind of "dinner table culture" is actually quite a waste of time and slows down the progress of scientific research.
What's even more worrying is that this atmosphere also makes people feel as if building a good relationship is more important than improving technology. Some people don't care much about how to improve their scientific research and technology, but more concerned about how to get close to people and find relationships, hoping to get more benefits in the project. If this continues, the fairness of scientific research will be greatly reduced, and the image of the entire scientific research circle will also be damaged.
The Shadow Under the Halo of "Returnees": Not Worthy of the Name?
In recent years, the term "returnee" has become popular in the scientific research circle. Many people want to go abroad to study, get a foreign degree, and get better treatment and status when they come back. But to be honest, some returnee researchers, although they have foreign diplomas and awards in their hands, are a bit powerless to actually do research. They may speak English quite well, but when it comes to solving practical problems, they don't seem to be so good. This situation makes people have to wonder, how much real ability do these returnees have? At the same time, it has also affected the reputation of the entire scientific research community.
The root cause of the chaos in scientific research: the lack of system and the supremacy of fame and fortune
The field of scientific research is quite chaotic now, in the final analysis, because the system is not perfect enough, and everyone attaches too much importance to fame and fortune. First of all, there are many loopholes in the management of scientific research. For example, there is no strict supervision in the links of project declaration, money management, and evaluation results, which gives some people the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes.
Moreover, many people now take fame and fortune too seriously. In order to become famous and make money, some people even ignore the basic ethics of scientific research, and there are even fake and plagiarism. If this continues, it is no wonder that the field of scientific research is not chaotic!
Conclusion: Reshape the values of scientific research and return to the original intention of scientific research
The scientific research circle is quite chaotic now, and we have to re-establish the values of scientific research, so that everyone can return to the original intention of doing scientific research. To put it bluntly, doing scientific research is to promote social progress and help people live better, not to compete for fame and fortune. We should establish a stricter supervision and management system to make scientific research more just and fair. At the same time, it is also necessary to improve the moral quality of scientific researchers, so that they can understand the true meaning of doing scientific research.
But then again, it's not easy to change people's perceptions. This requires the concerted efforts of the whole society and the continuous attention and promotion of it. We need to get rid of the shackles of fame and fortune and truly return to the essence of scientific research. Only in this way can we stimulate the innovative spirit of scientific researchers and make our scientific research more prosperous.
