Reading as a god

Chapter 238 Academician of the American Academy of Sciences

Although the man only greeted Zhang Shan for a short moment, Han Xue was gradually filled with curiosity:
"My God, Zhang Shan, that's Professor Yan from the School of Mathematics. What does he want from you?"

Zhang Shan's curiosity was no less than Han Xue's: "He's a professor at the School of Mathematics~ How do you know him!"

"Professor Yan is the youngest full professor in the School of Mathematics, and he is usually ranked in the top three in the list of the most handsome professors in Mizuki~"

(⊙﹏⊙)
Most of the things like being young are objective reasons, and the second half of the sentence is the real reason.

Seeing Han Xue's nympho look, Zhang Shan couldn't help teasing:
"Looking at your nymphomaniac look, why do I think he is not as handsome as me~"

Han Xue said solemnly:
"It's not a kind of handsome, okay? How would Professor Yan say it? It's very knowledgeable and elegant~ It looks like a warm and jade-like feeling~~"

"Cut~"

"What are you talking about? There are rumors outside that Professor Yan is expected to be elected as an academician of the American Academy of Sciences."

Zhang Shan:? ? ?
"The American Academy of Sciences?? Isn't Professor Yan Chinese?"

Han Xue turned pale and Zhang Shan took a look and said:

"The US National Academy of Sciences is composed of academicians, honorary academicians and foreign informal academicians. Foreign informal academicians can become academicians after obtaining American citizenship.

It is different from the selection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which requires academician candidates to be recommended by academicians and relevant academic groups at most 60 candidates every two years.

There are not so many rules and regulations in the selection of the American Academy of Sciences~
The reason why the process is simpler is mainly because the American Academy of Sciences is not a government department~
It is a non-governmental, non-profit, and honorary autonomous organization of scientists, which does not have a research institution.

With the National Research Council (NRC) as the executive body, its working procedures are usually authorized by a special committee of the US Congress or proposed by the federal government department, and the research projects undertaken by the National Research Council's management committee on contemporary scientific and technological issues are determined and organized. The National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Academy of Medicine and other experts across the country formed special committees and groups to conduct research and give answers.

Because of this, although there are only rumors that Professor Yan will be added as an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, the selection of academicians of the National Academy of Sciences has not been so troubled and is basically a certainty. "

Zhang Shan knows it, and has heard an example that has been said countless times:
"After a Chinese academician of the US National Academy of Sciences won the Nobel Prize in the 80s, he received a special treatment at the University of California, Berkeley where he worked - a "priority parking space" in the school parking lot.

But in many people's eyes, this treatment is already very good, because the parking space of this university has been very tight. "

In the United States, the title of academician is a "dematerialized honor." At the same time, it means taking on more responsibilities: as an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, you must set an example for young scientists in your field; you need to serve the federal government Provide extensive policy advice to local governments.

The title of academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States is widely recognized by the academic community and has a high gold content, but its corresponding name is more accurately "member", that is, a member.

Fellows of this "society" are required to pay an annual dues of $200 for their title.

If you do not pay within 3 years, you will be converted to an honorary retired academician.

It is understood that the qualifications of American academicians may be helpful when applying for scientific research funding, but the key role is still the content of the project being applied for.

Although the selection of academicians of the American Academy of Sciences is much simpler, it does not mean that its gold content is low.

In the American scientific community, the institutions representing the highest level are the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Medicine, and the National Science Foundation.

Among them, being elected as an academician of the National Academy of Sciences is one of the highest academic honors in the United States after the Nobel Prize.

经常在一众学霸文内刷脸的陶哲轩（陶哲轩13岁获得国际数学奥林匹克竞赛数学金牌；16岁获得弗林德斯大学学士学位；17岁获得弗林德斯大学硕士学位；21岁获得普林斯顿大学博士学位；24岁起在加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校担任教授；2006年31岁时获得菲尔茨奖、拉马努金奖和麦克阿瑟天才奖；2008年获得艾伦·沃特曼奖；2015年获得科学突破奖—数学突破奖。陶哲轩的兴趣横跨多个数学领域，包括调和分析、非线性偏微分方程和组合论）就是美国科学院外籍院士之一~
Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts dare not ask extravagantly, foreign nationals of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts can still consider it~
……

In stark contrast to the academicians of the Academy of Fine Arts, the selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not as complicated as usual~
First of all, you need to have a suitable recommender. The recommender must have 3 or more old academicians to make the recommendation to be effective.

Then you need to make systematic and creative achievements and major contributions in the field of science and technology, and love the motherland.

However, the number of being elected to ys is also obvious, regardless of various treatment.

The resources that academicians of ky can mobilize are quite huge!
Zhang Shan is also more determined to strive to reach a new height in knowledge.

Wealth may not be the stepping stone to the road leading to some fields.

But knowledge can be 100% a stepping stone!

"Junior, why are you so dazed? You haven't told me why Professor Yan is looking for you~"

"Urge me to write a paper~"

"No, he's a professor in the School of Mathematics, why is he urging you to write a thesis?"

"He urged me to write a paper for Professor Wu~"

As soon as Zhang Shan opened his mouth, Zhang Shan regretted it~
Han Xue also noticed the loopholes in Zhang Shan's words.

"Professor Wu? Is he the head of the department? Why is Professor Yan, a professor from the School of Mathematics, urging you to write a paper for Professor Wu~"

Sure enough, women have an inherent advantage in insight into subtleties, and Zhang Shan didn't intend to hide it, so she selectively talked to Han Xue~
~~~
Apparently Zhang Shan was dissatisfied with Han Xue's behavior after hearing this, and couldn't help but whisper:

"Hey, show me some face, shouldn't you be surprised and unbelievable? Why is there no reaction at all~"

"Although graduating in one year is very attractive, it means completing all undergraduate courses and a top journal-level thesis within one year! How can this be done... Besides, junior, I seriously doubt that you have Masochistic tendencies~"

"I don't know much about other publications, but I know about SIGCOMM you mentioned.

This is the flagship conference organized by ACM in the field of communication network, and it is also the top conference in the field of international communication network. It is organized by ACM SIGCOMM.

SIGCOMM has extremely high requirements on the quality and quantity of papers. In terms of quality, it requires basic contributions, leadership influence and solid system background. In terms of quantity, only about 30 formal conference papers are accepted each year, and the acceptance rate is about 10%. "
