Chapter 250: To Claim an Award

In an interview with the 2008 Nobel Prize laureate for chemistry, Martin Charles said that if you're lucky enough to do something, people will do something terrible to you--

They'll start telling you, "Hey, you might win a Nobel Prize.” From the first week of October onwards, you will start sleepless and extremely sensitive to any ringtone, even the neighbor's phone will make you suspicious...

Until the day you really got the call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

In addition to Swedish surprises, the main reason for doing so is to ensure that the winners do not show off ahead of time, undermining the sense of expectation of all humankind or of scientific researchers in society as a whole.

The call to notify the winner will usually be made a few minutes before the draw. Thus, the Nobel Prize call is arguably one of the most anticipated in the world, and in just a few minutes you can experience a bouncing excitement.

The ark that received this call also experienced a bouncing irritation in just one minute.

As for why he obviously didn't expect the Nobel Prize, he would experience a bouncing excitement in just one minute...

Because unfortunately, it's obviously impossible to find him as Nobel...

It's Crawford.

Well, the Crawford Prize isn't bad either.

You can even say it's strong.

Established in 1980 with donations from industrialist Holger Crawford and his wife Anna Gretta Crawford, the award was selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which, although slightly lower in gold than the three prizes in mathematics, beautifully named the Little Nobel Prize in the larger collection of natural sciences.

And why do you say that?

Because the award was originally set up to fill the void in the Nobel Prize, both the process and the specifications of the award ceremony were based on the Nobel Prize criteria.

The award covers the fields of astronomy, mathematics, earth sciences and life sciences, which are not covered by the Nobel Prize, with the award mechanism being selected annually and rotating between astronomy and mathematics, earth sciences and biological sciences.

This year, it is precisely the astronomy and mathematics fields that will be awarded to the most distinguished contributors in the field in the near future.

At the same time, the bonus is $500,000.

Like the Nobel Prize, the Crawford Prize, also selected and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, is usually suddenly communicated to the winner a few minutes before the prize opens, so much so that the canoe eating with Witten is overwhelmed by this sudden call.

In fact, the Ark won the award not because of Gothenbach's assumptions, but because of his series of studies in the field of prime numbers. However, the paper that landed in the Mathematics Yearbook a few days ago refreshed his list of achievements again.

And it is such an achievement that cannot be ignored.

As a result, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences added the achievement of the Godbach-Lu Theorem to the winners' profile published on the official website.

The $500,000 that suddenly jumped out of the sky and the medals were a little dizzy, and the ark couldn't even remember how to get back from the canteen to the office.

All he remembered was that Witten smiled and patted him on the shoulder, congratulated him, and when he returned to God, he had sat in his office and turned on his computer.

After logging onto the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and refreshing the ark several times, the Crawford Prize list was finally seen on the official website.

And his name, Heron, is on this list.

The other two winners were Professor Roy Kerr of Canterbury University, New Zealand, and Professor Roger Branford of Stanford University, United States. The two of them shared an astronomy award for their significant contribution to the study "Black Hole with Angular Momentum and its Impact"...

As for the Mathematics Award, naturally he's the only one.

Seeing this, the ark was relieved to make sure that the call just received was not a new type of scam or a late fool's day joke, a hanging stone in his heart finally landed on the ground.

The Ark then shut down the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences page and opened another page.

Now that he's confirmed the award, there's only one thing he's curious about.

This $500,000 bonus.

How much would it cost to change to RMB?

……

Two hours after receiving the call, the Ark's mailbox received an e-mail from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

I don't know how they know their mailbox account, but it doesn't seem difficult to think of a mailbox account in a district where they can even get a private phone number.

After all, he hung up on his email account, both on the Professor's profile page on the Princeton University website and in Arxiv's personal information.

In this e-mail from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in addition to an invitation with an electronic file, the contents reproduce in writing what has already been said on the previous telephone call.

For example, the timing of the awards ceremony and the banquet after the awards ceremony.

For example, as part of the Crawford Prize celebration, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences held a three-day academic exchange meeting and invited him to make a presentation on the winners of the exchange meeting.

As far as reporting time is concerned, it is naturally one hour.

Just as the Ark shut down the mail, took out the PPT that Princeton's report would have used, and was about to change it and use it, suddenly another phone call came up.

This time it wasn't a stranger, it was Don.

As soon as the phone was on, the familiar voice came from across the street in a flame.

“Did you prove Goldbach's speculation?! ”

When he heard this, the ark stunned and his subconscious answered.

“Well, what's the matter? ”

The phone was silent for a while before sighing lightly.

“... nothing, just a little surprised.” After a moment of pause, Old Tang smiled and continued, "Today the Mathematics Department was supposed to hold a conference, and it was halfway there, and suddenly a" Mathematics Yearbook "was sent in. We were still discussing this year's enrollment plan, and everything that was discussed in the second half of the meeting turned out to be you. ”

Though the tone of voice is only a trivial understatement, Tang's heart is a thousand emotions.

When the Ark asked him about the distribution of Mason numbers in the canteen, he advised the Ark not to think about these things and to focus on the direction of transliteral analysis and application of mathematics.

It turns out fate is so amazing.

It's only been a few years, and he's grown to this point.

Tang Zhiwei was very pleased with the student and proud of him from the heart.

When I heard from Don, the Ark couldn't help but cry.

“How embarrassing. ”

He thought his thesis would take out a few unfinished papers at most, but he didn't want to mix up the alma mater meeting.

Old Tang smiled, not continuing on this topic, but continuing to say.

“You have now completed your Ph.D. and the school is not in a hurry to get back, but there is a diploma and diploma waiting for you. Principal Xu and Director Lu are pressing me, let me ask you something. So I asked them," When are you going to come back and finish your PhD? "”

When the joint training programme for the Ark was signed between Kingston University and Princeton University, after completing his Ph.D. in Princeton, the Ark returned home to make a report and receive his Ph.D. from Kingston University.

There was actually a teaching job, but it seems like it could be slowed down a bit now.

The school is absolutely supportive of the fact that the Ark intends to remain in Princeton as a professor.

After all, people are not RMBs, and there is no added value in hiding them in their pockets. Only politicians are born leaders who like to do this.

In fact, many research-born principals have their minds set on how to invest in talent development at domestic universities. There is certainly no comparison between the hematopoietic ability of cutting-edge researchers and world-class schools like Princeton.

Whether it's an academic environment or hardware equipment, this gap doesn't change overnight, just like solving a major mathematical dilemma, it all takes generations of effort.

Encouraging talent to go to higher-level platforms for scientific research and nutrients is also a constant talent development policy of universities and universities.

The accompanying policies also include the introduction of overseas talent, such as the Thousand People Plan.

And this, so called, "Send it out first, then come back."

Even if you don't come back when you're young, you can stay there and train a few more international students for your country.

To give the simplest example, if Kim Dae's scholars could be professors in Princeton, Kim Dae would be able to add at least one more Princeton international student every other time (in principle, only one is allowed in the same University Gazette), a position that has been virtually non-existent in previous years.

Meanwhile, even if Kim Dae doesn't eat it, it won't disappear in vain. Under the same conditions of competence, Chinese professors prefer to enroll Chinese students abroad, which is almost the norm (there are counter-examples).

However, Kim Dae's release is superfluous. The Ark has a lot to learn. He also needs the qualification of overseas scientific research experience. At the same time, Princeton's resources can help him accomplish his system tasks.

When it's almost time, he'll go back.

After all, he's an old man.

The Ark thought about it and said, "I'm going to Stockholm first, but it won't be long, I'll be back in early June. ”

“Stockholm?” Old Tang stood still and wondered, "What are you doing in Sweden? ”

The ark was embarrassed and laughed.

“Award. ”
