Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

On December 11th, something big happened in the academic circle.

But it's not mathematics, it's medicine.

Just three afternoons ago, Professor Tuyo gave a speech in Chinese at Carolinska Medical School in Sweden on the theme "Discovering Artemisinin: A Gift from Traditional Traditional Chinese Medicine for the World" and received the "Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine" medal at an award ceremony in Stockholm today!

The award was also awarded to William Campbell and Otomura Chi, who will share a prize of SEK 8 million (approximately US $920,000).

As a result, the first Nobel laureate of Chinese nationality, besides the Peace and Literature Prize, was finally born!

For the sake of the academic community of China, the heart of the Ark is also filled with emotion.

The first Nobel Prize for Chinese nationality had been born, and it was time to push for the Fields Prize.

Interestingly, however, just days after the Nobel Prize was awarded, an article entitled "The Revelation of the Artemisinin Patent" was published on the official website of the National Intelligence Agency, telling the story behind the Nobel Prize.

Although there was no intellectual property system in China at that time, and the public publication of the results of the research in international journals was the only option, later the Chinese Academy of Military Medicine based on artemisinin-developed derivative "compound artemisinin-methyl ether”, the patent right was also not in the hands of China, but was taken by the Swiss company Novartis to establish patent barriers.

There are many reasons for this, but ultimately the patent issue is ignored.

It is absurd to say that what you invented was obviously your own, but in the end you had to be confined to people.

And what is even more disheartening is that, although the Nobel Prize was awarded for slaughter, the results of this research have nothing to do with the elderly. Many departments have relevant technical materials. Everyone is grabbing foreign cooperation, and it is none of her business.

The highest award for this meritocracy is only a second prize in the '79 National Prize for Invention, with a prize of 5,000 yuan, divided into only 200 yuan in her hands.

In contrast, the award-winning Omura wisdom of the same year, relying on various patent fees in the microbial field, has accumulated nearly 30 billion yen in personal wealth. Eighty years old, he is now famous and has even stopped working in scientific research, but he is manipulating his art collections to live in his old age.

The importance of intellectual property protection is evident.

Because of the recent interest in patents, the Ark happened to see this article on the official website of the National Information Agency.

For him, it was an alarm bell.

……

The academic conference at the end of the year was eventually scheduled for the week before Christmas.

In the early morning of the 18th, a flight landed at California Airport.

He left the airport with his suitcase and took a taxi to the University of California at Berkeley.

The annual end-of-year academic exchange conference, organized by the Federal Institute of Mathematics, will be held at Berkeley.

At that time, the Cole Prize will be unveiled at the opening ceremony.

Although his winner had been dramatically drafted two months earlier and had already learned of his award before even formal written documents had been discovered, the excitement of the advance was certainly not strong at the moment when the medals and cheques were hand-picked.

He got off at the doorstep of the Bellick campus, and the ark met Brother Ro, who was waiting for him.

When I met him, I gave him a warm hug. Brother Luo smiled and said: "Why didn't you call me in advance? I'll pick you up at the airport. ”

The Ark laughed and said, "Your car is on the East Coast. Why don't you take a cab with me? Why don't I take a cab myself? ”

Prior to his arrival in the United States, he did not notify anyone beforehand. He waited for the plane before calling Brother Luo.

As a member of the Federal Mathematics Institute, Edward Witten naturally wouldn't miss such a meeting. And Luo Wenxuan read the blog under Witten, and it makes sense to follow along with the liveliness. The Ark didn't even ask and guessed it.

After looking at the watch, it was too early to see it, Brother Luo said, “Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live. The host has prepared a five-star hotel for us… although it is called a five-star hotel, I feel like it's about four stars. ”

Ark: “Compared to the Princeton Hotel? ”

Rowenxuan grinned: "The Princeton Hotel? You mean the one across from Palmer Square? Living conditions here are better than that, but the academic atmosphere is much less. ”

Berkeley is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, California's second largest metropolitan area, after the Greater Los Angeles area. The atmosphere is undoubtedly much more restless than Princeton in a quiet town.

On the way, they talked about what happened a while ago, and Brother Luo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

“Yes, Brother Lu, this year is not over. I'll make you pretend before the end of the year. ”

The ark coughed softly and lowered its voice: “What is it that doesn't pretend to be forced? Can it be called pretending to be learned? ”

“Yes, you sound more and more like Tang,” Brother Luo sighed, paused and continued, "So, as the winner of this year's Cole Prize in Mathematics, how do you feel now, Mr. Ark? ”

“I don't have any feelings, the words have not even begun to take shape. ”

Though the award is coming up in a few days, the email says to keep it confidential, and the Ark feels it is necessary to do so.

However, Brother Luo immediately saw through it. He didn't believe him at all. He turned his eyes and said: “Okay, stop pretending, the written notice should come down a month in advance, you must already know. ”

Ark: “Well… I did receive a written notice, but the email also said that it needed to be kept confidential until the award was officially awarded. ”

“OK, OK, I won't say anything everywhere,” Brother Lu Zhao patted Lu Zhao's shoulder and said with a smile, "When you win the prize, just buy me a drink! ”

Looking back at the last unpleasant experience, the Ark quickly said: "No problem drinking, but this time let's go to a normal bar. ”

Brother Luo waved and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is near the university, the nearby bars are very formal and many professors will come. Oh, by the way, did you take care of that beautiful girl last time? Are we still in touch? ”

The ark stunned for a moment and didn't understand what he was saying: "… what beauty? ”

Brother Luo saw the reaction of the ark and stunned: “It's at CERN... No way, it's less than six months, forget about them. ”

When I think about it, the ark is speechless.

“Did you say that? I didn't do anything to her. ”

Brother Luo pinched his eyebrows: “Wait, I don't know what you mean... you mean, you dragged her into the room and put a quilt on her and left without doing anything? ”

The ark looked at him silently: "If it wasn't a quilt, I pulled the curtains... what else could I do? Wait for her to wake up? ”

After staring at the canoe for a while, Brother Luo was silent for a while and suddenly sighed.

“Brother…”

Ark: “… what is it? ”

Brother Luo sighed and continued: “Brother Luo thought there was nothing left to teach you. I didn't think there was anything left to teach you, but you had to learn from scratch...”

Ark: “…? ”
