Shi Yigong, president of Westlake University based in Hangzhou—had some important points to make it when he gave an online open class for middle school students on April 19, until they went to school the following day. Shi is a biologist. He is also the member of the Biophysical Society of China. During his class, Shi advocated his thinking gaining over three decades of scientific research to give the students a single piece of advice; think independent and respect science.

Shi said what independent thinking is lifelong value and respecting science is especially significant. He also said scientific finding and research were fundamental forces shaping and decide the present and future of society. They encouraged students to study science.

C. V. Raman, one of the greatest Indian     1     (physicist), was born in 1888. His father was a lecturer in math and physics, so C. V.

3 . In 1997, the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Kariko met another struggling researcher, the American immunologist Drew Weissman, as they queued to copy scientific papers at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). Due to the lack of funding for their work, the two scientists found a common scientific interest and decided to cooperate. Then they jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. But while both scientists endured years of professional struggle on the way to the huge approval, Kariko had to overcome greater difficulties than Weissman.

Kariko worked in a few different research jobs before landing a junior position at the University of Pennsylvania. And for many years her career at the UPenn was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60,000 a year. She struggled to raise the funding essential for a scientific career and never had a stable position. Kariko said she endured being made fun of by university colleagues for her dogged pursuit. In 2013, she was kicked out from UPenn — forced to retire. She said in an interview that the university told her that she was unfit for her work. Yet the scientist’s commitment to her work did not falter. “When I was terminated (终止), I didn’t feel sorry for myself,” she said. “I have to focus all the energy on seeking out what’s next.”

In a news conference held at UPenn, she encouraged young scientists to love learning to solve problems and to be prepared for failure. Researchers in her field are full of admiration for her generosity and persistence. “She is really the soul of perseverance and what it takes to be a great researcher,” Elliot Barnathan, a cardiologist who hired Kariko, said.

5 . Franklin’s life is full of charming stories which all young men should know—     1    he sold books in Boston, and became the guest of kings in Europe; how he was made Major General Franklin, only to quit because, as he said, he was no soldier, and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.
