In the early morning of April 23, Yan Ning also used his personal social account to post the news of his election, and jokingly said that he "did not have the strength to be happy"
Yan Ning, 43, graduated from Tsinghua University and studied under Shi Yigong during his doctorate. In 2007, Yan Ning became the youngest professor and doctoral supervisor in the history of Tsinghua University.
Yan Ning sent a weibo response to the election.
According to public information, since 2004, Yan Ning has published about 2 CNS papers every year (referring to the three journals of Cell, Nature and Science, the top academic journals in the field of natural sciences), which are called "open and hanging" scholars.
In 2016, Yan Ning was elected as One of Nature's Ten Chinese Science Stars. In 2017, Yan Ning was nominated as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but was not elected. That same year, she left Tsinghua University to become a tenured Chair Professor at Shirley Tillman in Princeton's Department of Molecular Biology, which was once a hot topic. In 2019, Yan Ning was elected as a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences and won the "Qiushi Outstanding Scientist Award" in the same year.
Regarding the failure of the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yan Ning once posted an explanation that the nominations for 2019 and 2021 were all rejected by her, she said, "I don't want to become the talk of others after dinner, I am not currently working in China, the name on the list of candidates may be scolded, if you fail again, you will become a tool for others to complain about the Network, it is better to do scientific research happily!" ‘’
Another Professor Shen Yan'an, who was elected as an honorary foreign academician, works at the School of Earth and Space Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China, and his research team has published papers in Nature in 2020 and 2021, revealing the new mechanism of mass extinction events on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago.
