(英国《自然》杂志和英国科普组织“理解科学”(Sense about Science)联合评选,为纪念《自然》已故总编John Maddox新设的约翰·马多克斯捍卫科学奖,于今年11月6日首次颁发,我和英国精神病科医生Simon Wessely为获奖者。)
得约翰·马多克斯奖我深感荣幸。在中国科学面临着来自迷信、伪科学、反科学和科学不端行为的巨大挑战。越来越多的中国人意识到这是个大问题,正站出来捍卫科学。我把这个奖励视为国际科学界对我们的努力的认可,我对此深表谢意。谢谢。
I'm truly honoured to receive the John Maddox Prize. Science in China faces great challenges from superstition, psuedoscience, anti-science and scientific misconduct. There are more and more Chinese people who realise this is a big problem and are standing up for science. I consider this award as an acknowledgement of our efforts from the international science community and I deeply appreciate it. Thank you.
