Professor’s rumor that "being hired by Princeton University is an angry departure": nonsense.

  Yan Ning, a professor from Tsinghua University, was hired as a tenured faculty member at Princeton University in the United States, which recently attracted a lot of attention. Wechat WeChat official account intercepted Yan Ning’s old blog post published in 2014, and speculated that she "left in a huff" because her scientific research project was not successfully applied to the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

  This was "refuted" by Yan Ning himself in Weibo. "What does it matter whether I go to Princeton or not?" Yan Ning wrote: "Being asked by countless people whether this article is true or not, it is obviously inexplicable and nonsense."

  Yan Ning Weibo rumors

  Yan Ning, 39, studied in the Department of Biological Sciences and Technology of Tsinghua University, and then completed his doctorate at Princeton University, and completed his post-doctoral career for two years. In 2007, 30-year-old Yan Ning returned to Tsinghua to teach and became the youngest doctoral supervisor in Tsinghua at that time.

  Ten years later, Yan Ning accepted the olive branch of tenure at Princeton University. Why? This has attracted many people to be curious. Although, Yan Ning has said in the statement, the reason for being hired by Princeton is "I am afraid that I will stay in an environment for a long time, and I may be complacent and not know it; Changing the environment is to give yourself some new pressure and stimulate yourself to get inspiration, hoping to make new breakthroughs in science. " Moreover, Princeton University, like Tsinghua University, is her alma mater. "It has always been my ideal to be able to teach in these two proud alma mater." However, speculation about why she will go to Princeton University continues.

  "It is obviously a happy thing, please don’t speculate, otherwise I will say that I was scared away by these false statements and cyber violence." Yan Ning wrote in Weibo.

  A friend of Yan Ning’s academic circle told The Paper: "I understand her decision. Of course, it is not determined by a single factor transmitted outside. "

  Previously, an article entitled "Professor Tsinghua University Yan Ning is about to join Princeton, and he is angry with the fund review!" WeChat official account’s article spread in WeChat circle of friends. On May 7th, Yan Ning forwarded the article in a circle of friends, thinking that it was "taken out of context" and "cut the head and cut the tail" from her old blog.

  The Paper read the old article "A Failed Fund Application" in Yan Ning blog quoted by WeChat official account, and found that Yan Ning told the story that he applied for a key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2014 and 2015 with the project "Structure and Mechanism of Glucose Transporter", but he didn’t get a chance to reply.

  The evaluation of the Science Fund includes peer review opinions, and the Fund Committee screens the projects that participate in the defense according to the results of peer review. Yan Ning said in the article that she received the comments from the judges at that time. "I am still very pleased to see the comments. The opinions put forward by the experts are very pertinent and professional. I thank you here."

  In the article, Yan Ning did discuss some of his own different views on the criteria for the selection of funded projects by NSFC. When explaining why he wrote this article, Yan Ning wrote: "The first is to tell a lesson seriously, that is, no matter how confident you are in your own research, you can’t take it lightly in propsal (note: referring to the application of the fund). I express my remorse at this point; The second is to discuss what kind of research should be supported by youth (note: NSFC Youth Science Fund Project), general (note: NSFC General Project), key (note: NSFC Key Project) and Jie Qing (note: NSFC Outstanding Youth Science Fund). How to encourage innovation in financial support? Even if you throw a brick to attract jade. "

  On the website of NSFC’s Science Fund Network Information System, The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) made incomplete statistics according to the query results. Since Yan Ning returned to China to teach in 2007, there have been at least six approved projects with her as the head, with a total approved fund of 8.21 million yuan. Among them, research projects related to glucose transporters are also listed.

  From this point of view, "Yan Ning was hired by Princeton, in fact, he left angrily. The direct cause of being angry is that the domestic scientific research system makes it impossible for her to carry out the scientific research projects she wants to do. This speculation is untenable.

  Yan Ning’s employment as a tenured faculty member in a top American university has attracted so much attention, but in the eyes of his colleagues in the biosphere in China, this is a normal flow of talents.

  "I think it’s quite good," a researcher in the domestic biology field told The Paper. "It also shows that the domestic scientific research level is increasingly recognized by foreign first-class universities and research institutions." He said that the gap between home and abroad is getting smaller and smaller now, and several foreigners from developed countries in Europe and America have come to China to do research in some scientific research institutions in Shanghai.

  "PI (academic leaders) in China go abroad, and I think there will be more and more." The above researchers said.

Ministry of National Defense responds to Taiwan-related military actions: Action is the most powerful language.

  On the afternoon of July 28th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Wu Qian, Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

  Reporter: A few days ago, Taiwan’s defense department claimed that PLA fighters had repeatedly crossed the so-called "central line of the Straits", seriously undermining regional peace and stability, and speculated that a PLA warship had recently appeared off the coast of Hualien. According to Taiwan sources, in view of US Senator Scott’s visit to Taiwan, the PLA "obviously released a provocative message". What’s your comment on this?

  Wu Qian: Taiwan Province is a part of China, and there is no so-called "central line of the Straits" between the two sides. At present, the root of the tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait is the collusion between the "Taiwan independence" forces and external forces. It is precisely the Democratic Progressive Party authorities that constantly seek "independence" and provocation that undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and it is precisely the external forces that attempt to "contain China with Taiwan".

  The People’s Liberation Army will never tolerate the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence" and the interference of external forces, and resolutely counter them. Action is the most powerful language. Relevant parties should learn to adapt, learn to reflect, and more importantly, learn to pull back from the brink.
