當(dāng)?shù)貢r間4月30日,美國國家科學(xué)院(NAS)公布了最新院士名單,共有100名美國科學(xué)家和25名外籍院士,以表彰他們在原創(chuàng)性研究方面的杰出成就。
其中有四位華人:中國科學(xué)院院士、中國疾病預(yù)防控制中心主任、中國科學(xué)院微生物研究所教授、病原微生物學(xué)家、免疫學(xué)家高福和Shirley M. Tilghman ,普林斯頓大學(xué)終身講座教授。結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)家顏寧當(dāng)選美國科學(xué)院外籍院士;哈佛大學(xué)工程與應(yīng)用科學(xué)學(xué)院教授索志剛和洛克菲勒大學(xué)教授、霍華德休斯醫(yī)學(xué)研究所研究員陳玨當(dāng)選美國科學(xué)院院士。
美國國家科學(xué)院的通知。來源:科普雜志《返樸》微信公眾號,顏寧為雜志主編。此外,據(jù)美國國家科學(xué)院當(dāng)天發(fā)布的消息,美國國家科學(xué)院院士和外籍院士名單中,女性占比達(dá)到40%,為歷史最高比例。
當(dāng)?shù)貢r間4月30日晚,顏寧本人在微博表達(dá)了對這一最新榮譽(yù)的想法,稱自己在鏡子前練習(xí)了很長時間,“備受尊敬”“做不到”如果我做不到的話?!彼€提到,他后來才意識到,“今天被炸后我花了五分鐘才明白發(fā)生了什么?!?
確實(shí),發(fā)表過無數(shù)文章、獲得過諸多榮譽(yù)的顏寧還不到42歲。
顏寧畢業(yè)于清華大學(xué),獲學(xué)士學(xué)位,2000年出國深造,在普林斯頓大學(xué)完成博士生涯,并師從著名結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)家、現(xiàn)任西華大學(xué)校長施一公教授繼續(xù)從事博士后工作。湖大學(xué)。 2007年,年僅30歲的顏寧從普林斯頓大學(xué)回國,回到本科就讀的清華大學(xué)任教。他成為當(dāng)時清華大學(xué)最年輕的博士生導(dǎo)師。
回國10年來,顏寧的研究工作主要集中在膜轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)蛋白結(jié)構(gòu)與機(jī)制相關(guān)的生物學(xué)研究。在國際頂級期刊發(fā)表多篇論文。
回國四年后,2011年,顏寧獲得了中國生物物理學(xué)最高獎項——貝時章獎。顏寧隨后榮獲第九屆中國青年女科學(xué)家獎、2012年度科技創(chuàng)新人物、譚家楨生命科學(xué)創(chuàng)新獎。
2014年,37歲的顏寧帶領(lǐng)的團(tuán)隊首次成功分析了人類關(guān)鍵葡萄糖轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)蛋白GLUT1的晶體結(jié)構(gòu)和工作機(jī)制,揭示了葡萄糖這一地球生物體最重要的能量來源是如何進(jìn)入細(xì)胞。顏寧的成就被認(rèn)為擊敗了近50年來所有研究其結(jié)構(gòu)的科學(xué)家。
此外,顏寧于2017年8月增選為中國科學(xué)院院士預(yù)選候選人,也是當(dāng)年157名候選人中最年輕的一位。但當(dāng)年11月底公布的最終名單中,顏寧并未入選。
那就是,2017年,回國10年的顏寧決定離開清華大學(xué),接受了普林斯頓大學(xué)向她伸出的橄欖枝。此舉在當(dāng)年五一假期前后引起了國內(nèi)的廣泛關(guān)注。外界猜測甚多,甚至有“憤怒出走”等聲音。不過,顏寧本人后來否認(rèn)了外界的猜測,并表示“我害怕自己會留在一個環(huán)境中”。時間長了,你可能還停留在自己的方式上而不自知;改變環(huán)境就是給自己一些新的壓力,刺激自己獲得靈感,希望在科學(xué)上取得新的突破。 ”
顏寧目前是普林斯頓大學(xué)分子生物學(xué)系第一位Shirley M. Tilghman終身教授。雪莉·蒂爾曼(Shirley Tillman)是世界著名的分子生物學(xué)家,也是普林斯頓大學(xué)建校200 多年來第一位女校長。
顏寧赴美后依然保持著“高生產(chǎn)力”。 2018年6月底至9月初,顏寧團(tuán)隊僅用時70天,在頂級學(xué)術(shù)期刊《科學(xué)》上發(fā)表了三篇論文。
值得一提的是,就在當(dāng)選美國國家科學(xué)院外籍院士的前一天,顏寧4月29日在微博慶祝自己剛剛獲得“魏茨曼女性與科學(xué)獎”,當(dāng)時提到,“我剛剛意識到這可能是我獲得過的最重要的獎項?!彼嘈弄勴椀姆至俊霸谟谶^去的獲獎?wù)摺薄?
美國國家科學(xué)院成立于1863年,是一個由美國著名科學(xué)家組成的非盈利、非政府組織。當(dāng)選科學(xué)院院士是美國乃至世界的最高學(xué)術(shù)榮譽(yù)之一。候選人不需要自己申請,而是基于他們在原創(chuàng)性研究中的杰出和持續(xù)貢獻(xiàn)。新院士由現(xiàn)任院士在每年四月舉行的美國科學(xué)院年會上投票選出。外籍院士沒有投票權(quán)。每年新選舉100名美國籍院士,最多選舉25名外籍院士。
目前,美國國家科學(xué)院共有院士2347人,其中外籍院士約487人。截至2018年,已有190人獲得諾貝爾獎。其中,截至2018年,已有100多名華人和美籍華人科學(xué)家當(dāng)選美國科學(xué)院院士和外籍院士,其中包括華人諾貝爾獎獲得者李政道、楊振寧、丁肇中等。
