Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

On December 11th, a major event took place in the academic circle.

But it does not happen on the mathematics side, but in the medical world.

Just three days before the afternoon, Tu Yu Professor published a Chinese speech entitled “The Discovery of Artemisinin: A Gift from Traditional Chinese Medicine to World” at Medical College in Karolinska, Sweden, and today in Stockholm. At the awards ceremony, you received the “Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Award” medal!

Also awarded are William Campbell and Omura, who will share the 800 SEK (approximately 92 million).

Thus, the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner in addition to the Peace and Literature Awards was finally born!

For the happiness of the Chinese academic community, Lu Zhou couldn’t help feeling.

The Nobel Prize for the first Chinese nationality has already been born, and it is time to move towards the Fields Prize.

Interestingly, however, just a few days after the Nobel Prize, the official website of the National Knowledge Bureau published an article entitled “Revelation of Artemisinin Patent”, which tells the story behind this Nobel Prize.

Although due to the times, there was no intellectual property system in China at the time, and it was the only option to publish the research results in international journals. However, the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Subject Academy was based on the artemisinin-developed derivative biology “Fufang Artemether”. The patent right is also not in the hands of the Chinese, but was taken by the Swiss Novartis company to establish a patent barrier.

There are many reasons for this, but in the final analysis, the neglect of patent issues.

It is obviously a thing that I invented, but in the end it is subject to people, and it is embarrassing.

What is even more embarrassing is that although the Nobel Prize is the slaughter, the research results have nothing to do with elderly. There are many departments and related technical materials. Everyone is rushing to cooperate with foreign companies, but she does not have her. thing.

The highest reward for this hero is only a second prize in the 79 National Invention Award, and the bonus 5000 is only 200 in her hands.

In contrast, DaCunzhi, who won the award in the same year, has accumulated nearly 30 billion yen in personal wealth based on various patent fees in the microbiology field. At the age of 80, he has now fame and fortune, and he is no longer engaged in scientific research, but is fiddling with collectible works of art.

It can be seen that the importance of intellectual property protection.

Because of the recent concern about patents, Lu Zhou just saw this article on the official website of the National Knowledge Bureau.

For him, this is also an alarm.

……

The time of the year-end academic conference was finally set a week before Christmas.

On the morning of the 18th, a flight landed at the California airport.

Leaving the airport with a suitcase, Lu Zhou took a taxi and went to the University of California at Berkeley.

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

The Cole Award will be announced at the opening ceremony.

Although his winner was spoiled two months earlier, he didn’t even wait until the official written documents were found, he already knew the news of his award, but the excitement of the advance was definitely not the one holding the medals and the check. A moment is strong.

Get off at the door of the Belk campus and Lu Zhou met the Senior Brother Luo who was waiting for him.

When he met, he gave him a warm hug. Senior Brother Luo said with a smile : “Why don’t you call me in advance? I will pick you up at the airport.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said: “Your car is on the East Coast. It is not a taxi with me. It is better for me to take a taxi.”

Before coming to the United States, he did not notify anyone in advance, just waited for the plane to call Senior Brother Luo.

As a member of the Federal Institute of Mathematics, Edward Witten will not miss this kind of meeting. And Louwen Xuan read the blog under Witten, and it’s reasonable to come and join in the fun. Lu Zhou didn’t even ask, he guessed this.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was not too late. Senior Brother Luo said, “Let’s go, I will take you to the place where I live. This time the organizer prepared a five-star hotel for us… although it is called five Star, but I feel like four stars.”

Lu Zhou: “Compared with the Princeton Hotel?”

Louwen Xuan grinned: “Princeton Hotel? You said that the opposite of Palmer Square? Compared to that, the livelihood conditions here are better, but the academic atmosphere is much less.”

Berkeley is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, California’s second largest metropolitan area, second only to the Greater Los Angeles area. Compared to Princeton in a quiet town, the atmosphere is undoubtedly more impetuous.

Walking on the road, the two talked about what happened some time ago, and Senior Brother Luo couldn’t help but feel a little.

“Yes, Junior Brother Lu, this year hasn’t finished yet, and it will make you a big push before the end of the year.”

Lu Zhou lightly coughed, low-key said: “Which is not pretending to be forced, can learning to be forced?”

“Yes, your tone is getting more and more like Old Lu,” Senior Brother Luo sighed, paused, and continued. “So, as the winner of this year’s Cole Number Theory Award, I would never ask for Lu Zhou.” Mister, what do you think now?”

“Without feelings, the eight characters are still missing.”

Although it will be awarded in a few days, but the mail said that it is confidential, Lu Zhou feels that it is necessary to do it.

However, Senior Brother Luo saw it at a glance, didn’t believe his suit at all, and turned his eyes and said, “If you do, don’t pretend, the written notice should be one month in advance, you must already know.”

Lu Zhou: “Well… I have indeed received a written notice, but the email also says that it needs to be kept confidential before the official award.”

“OK, OK, I won’t talk around,” Senior Brother Luo patted Lu Zhao’s shoulder and said with a smile, “When you get the bonus, remember to ask me to drink!”

Recalling the last unpleasant experience, Lu Zhou quickly said: “Drinking is fine, but this time we go to a normal bar.”

Senior Brother Luo waved his hand and smiled and said: “Reassured, here is the university, the nearby bars are very formal, and many professors will come. Yes, the last time, the beauty, have you got it? Now there is no contact. ?”

Lu Zhou squinted and didn’t understand what he was saying: “…What beauty?”

Senior Brother Luo saw Lu Zhou’s reaction and sighed: “It’s at CERN… No, it’s less than half a year, you forget people.”

When I think about it, Lu Zhou is silent for a while.

“You said that? I didn’t do anything to her.”

Senior Brother Luo pinched his eyebrows: “Wait, I don’t quite understand what you mean… You mean, you dragged her into the room, and then covered her with a quilt, and left without doing anything?” ”

Lu Zhou looked at him silently: “I didn’t cover the quilt, I pulled the curtains… or could I still dry up? Waiting for her to wake up?”

Staring at Lu Zhou for a while, Senior Brother Luo was silent for a while, suddenly sighed.

“Junior Brother…”

Lu Zhou: “What happened?”

Senior Brother Luo sighed and continued: “Senior Brother thought that there is nothing to teach you. I didn’t expect that there is nothing to teach you, but you have to learn from the beginning…”

Lu Zhou: “…?”
