There is a saying that a man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle. In this era of looking at faces, people like to dress up beautifully, especially on important occasions, and they must wear the best clothes and show the best image. However, for some scientists, they don't seem to care too much about these external things, they are more concerned with their own research and exploration.
Not long ago, when an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was recording a program on ** TV, he sparked heated discussions among netizens because of the aging of the soles of his shoes. Some people say that this is a "foreign appearance", and some people say that it is a "true color". So, what kind of person is this academician?What's the story of her shoes?
Wang Zhizhen, born in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province in 1942, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a biochemistry and molecular biologist, a researcher at the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. She is the first female scientist engaged in cell biology research in China, and the first scientist in China to win the International Cell Biology Award.
Her main research interests are the structure and function of the cytoskeleton, as well as the relationship between the cytoskeleton and life processes such as cells**, cell motility, and cell signal transduction. She discovered the isoform of tubulin for the first time in the world, revealing the structural diversity and functional diversity of tubulin, and opening up a new field for the study of the cytoskeleton. She has also made important achievements in the molecular mechanism of cells, the formation and regulation of cell polarity, and the relationship between cytoskeleton and tumorigenesis, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of cell biology.
On December 9, Academician Wang Zhizhen participated in the "Dialogue" program of ** TV station as a guest, and shared her scientific research experience and insights with the host and audience. During the program, the host found that a pair of leather shoes worn by Academician Wang on his feet had fallen a lot of black slag on the stage because of aging. Academician Wang immediately laughed at herself and said that this was her "foreign appearance", and revealed that she bought these shoes a long time ago, but she has been reluctant to wear them, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen when she wore them out this time.
She also joked that she once wore two different socks to the laboratory, which shows that she usually doesn't care too much about what she wears. Academician Wang's remarks aroused warm applause from the audience, and also moved and admired many netizens. They left messages one after another, praising Academician Wang as a real scientist, who doesn't care about the external image, only cares about the inner pursuit, showing the true colors and style of a scientist.
Although the slag on the soles of Academician Wang's shoes is an accidental "foreign appearance", it reflects her simple and thrifty attitude to life, and also shows her most authentic and real life state. As an internationally renowned scientist, Academician Wang has a good guarantee for her living conditions, and she also has the strength to buy a good pair of shoes and a good clothes.
However, she was not moved by material things, not confused by vanity, she chose a low-key, simple and frugal lifestyle, and devoted more energy and time to scientific research and teaching. Not only does she do this herself, but she also educates and influences her students and colleagues so that they too can take science as their own responsibility, dedication as honor, innovation as motivation, and action as their duty. Academician Wang's shoes are not only a pair of shoes, but also a spirit, a character, and a style.
Scientists are the pillars of the country and the light of the nation. With their wisdom and sweat, they have made indelible contributions to the progress and development of mankind. They are not burdened by fame and fortune, they are not trapped by material desires, they are only to explore the truth, serve the society, and benefit mankind. Academician Wang Zhizhen is such a great scientist, she has interpreted the true character and character of a scientist with her own actions, and has also set a glorious example for us. Let us learn from Academician Wang and Xi to all scientists, and to all those who serve the country and the people!Academicians of the Academy of Sciences shoe slag
