As the highest honor in the field of scientific research in China, academicians have attracted much attention from the society. Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering announced the results of the 2023 academician co-optation, and a total of 133 experts were elected. However, in this battle for academicians, Huo Yong of Peking University First Hospital was defeated, and then he decided to sue Professor Hu Dayi, which attracted widespread attention.
The selection of academicians is a strict procedure, which has gone through four links: nomination, review, publicity and election. In this process, candidates need to become academician candidates before they have a chance to be finally elected as an academician. Such a process ensures the fairness and accuracy of the selection of academicians. After the results of the co-optation of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2023 were announced, 133 new academicians joined, including 59 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 74 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. This time, the co-optation quota is more inclined to key fields and basic disciplines, emerging disciplines, interdisciplinary disciplines, and scientific researchers who have made outstanding contributions to national defense and national defense.
The process of selecting academicians is rigorous, and after layers of screening and evaluation, it ensures that the academic level and scientific research achievements of academicians meet certain standards. In order to ensure the fairness of the selection, candidates need to be selected from the shortlist and go through multiple rounds of voting before they can finally be elected as academicians. This process requires not only excellent academic ability, but also outstanding contributions and achievements in discipline development, scientific and technological innovation, etc. Through such a process, the results of the academician selection can represent the highest level and achievements of China's scientific research community.
Professor Huo Yong from Peking University First Hospital is an authoritative expert in the field of cardiology, and has attracted attention for his outstanding contributions to cardiovascular disease research. However, Professor Huo Yong was unexpectedly rejected in the recent academician selection. After the announcement of the shortlist, the whistleblowing storm about Professor Huo Yong has attracted more and more attention. As a colleague of Professor Huo Yong, Professor Hu reported a series of accusations to him, including "academic bullying" and "collusion between doctors and businessmen to seek huge profits". During this time, the dispute between two leading medical experts has been in the public spotlight.
As authoritative cardiologists, Professor Huo Yong and Professor Hu Dayi have made important contributions to the cause of medicine in China. Their research achievements and academic influence cannot be ignored. However, it is precisely because of their status and influence in the same field that such a heated controversy has been triggered. Professor Hu Dayi's report against Professor Huo Yong has made this battle for academicians more complicated and tense. Under the public's attention, the conflict between these two excellent medical experts gradually escalated, sparking controversy and discussion from all walks of life.
After learning that he had lost the election, Professor Huo Yong decided to formally sue Professor Hu Dayi, demanding that the relevant responsible persons be held legally responsible. He said that the previous report against him was not true, and the whistleblower should also bear legal responsibility. This prosecution has once again aroused public attention and heated discussions, and it also shows that Professor Huo Yong resolutely defends his innocence.
Professor Huo's prosecution has caused widespread controversy and speculation. Some believe that he decided to sue because he was confident enough in his professional abilities and academic ethics. He believes that his research results and academic contributions should not be ignored and should not be unjustifiably criticized. At the same time, he also hopes to resolve the dispute through legal means to protect his reputation and rights. This prosecution has also caused the entire academician selection process to receive widespread attention again, causing questions and reflections on the academician selection system. People began to think about whether the selection of academicians can only rely on academic ability and scientific research achievements, or should consider more factors, such as academic ethics and character cultivation. The occurrence of this incident has also posed certain challenges to the integrity and norms of the scientific research community.
As the highest honor in China's scientific research community, the selection of academicians has always attracted much attention. In the 2023 academician election, Huo Yong's defeat from Peking University First Hospital has attracted widespread attention. He decided to sue Professor Hu Dayi, who reported him, and intensified the battle for academicians. This incident has triggered questions and reflections on the academician selection system, and also challenged the integrity and norms of the scientific research community. We hope to resolve this dispute through legal means to ensure the fairness and accuracy of the selection of academicians. At the same time, we also hope that the scientific research community can carry out self-reflection and standardization to ensure that the selection of academicians can better serve the needs of science and the country.
