20 18 the nobel prize in physics was awarded to donna strickland and others for their breakthrough inventions in the field of laser physics. Donna is the third woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 55 years.

However, to the surprise of China people, Donna is currently an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, and the Nobel Prize is awarded to scientists who have made major scientific breakthroughs, regardless of personal position.

Therefore, what is the academic identity and status of scientists is not the concern of the Nobel Prize jury at all. Donna won the Nobel Prize for her thesis under the guidance of Gerard Muru when she was studying for a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Rochester from 65438 to 0989. This time, Donna and her mentor Gerald won the prize together.

In China, there was actually a scientist who didn't attract people's special attention at first-Tu Youyou. This scientist was once awarded the title of "Three No Scientists". He has no doctoral degree, no study abroad background and no academician title, especially the academician title, which means that he is not qualified to participate in high-end competition in this soil of China. Tu Youyou applied for being an academician four times, but failed. However, Tu Youyou is undoubtedly lucky. With the award of the Nobel Prize, he was fully recognized by the scientific community, and he undoubtedly became a member of the scientific community.

According to statistics, only 23% of the Nobel Prize winners in natural science have been holding administrative positions before and after winning the prize. The proportion of academicians of the two academies who have been holding administrative positions before and after their election is as high as 62%, which is more than twice that of Nobel Prize winners in natural sciences. Moreover, 55% of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Natural Science have never held an administrative position, while only 17% of the academicians of the two academies in China are less than one third of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Natural Science.

The huge data contrast fully shows that the roles of outstanding scientists in China are alienated, and most of them deviate from their scientific research careers. Even holding administrative positions closely related to scientific research, such as dean, department head and laboratory director, will seriously affect the innovative ability of outstanding scientists. This is definitely detrimental to the development of science and technology in China. Therefore, China's outstanding scientists have seriously deviated from the scientific research and basically alienated into politicians.

As far as the reality of China is concerned, scientists engaged in scientific research should not only pay attention to the development of the country, but also continue to focus on projects that meet practical needs and solve practical problems. The state should encourage and support scientists to explore freely, support scientific and technological personnel to devote themselves to research and "practice" on the bench for a long time, and especially protect the ambition and efforts of scientific research teams to stick to their own research direction and carry forward the past into the future.

It will be a long process to advocate scientific spirit, carry forward scientific culture, realize scientific development and build a harmonious society. It is necessary to advocate seeking truth from facts and rational thinking, and abandon those negative practices that are noisy and impetuous, striving for fame and profit.
