--漫谈Science, passion and faith
在这里,有同仁刚开始科学研究的工作,有同仁已经在科学研究的道路上经历了无数个春春秋秋。科学是什么?我们为何要做科学研究工作?大家日日夜夜奋斗在实验室,一次又一次地失败,失望,甚至有人绝望。但是还是有人在失望之后继续坚持,继续经历未知的下一次失望。为什么要坚持呢?有人说兴趣让他坚持过来了,有人说咬咬牙就能看到结果,因为他相信他总有发现,有人会说.....
你说科学是什么呢?你为何会坚持做科学研究呢?
大家都会有自己的体会吧!不妨一起来聊聊!本月我们邀请到许晓鸿老师一起来与我们聊聊科研路上的滴滴点点。
本期主题:
Science is generally thought to be serious endeavor with little emotion involved . Yet in my experience, you don't last long on the bumpy road of science without strong passion or faith in your pursuit. Why do we do science? Why do we punish ourselves with long hours on the bench and repeated failures? I believe that as humans we are innately driven to make sense of the world around of us. Thus lie in our brain the primitive drive to find the answers to the unknown. We scientists, just like everyone else, observe first and then try to make sense of what we see. What differs us from lay people is that we believe answers to the unknown are logic, can be discovered and tested with careful designed experiments. Through the process of elimination, with each failure we are also one step closer to the truth. Technical skills may greatly facilitate our pursuit, but in the end it is the strong faith in the existence of logic and definite answers to our questions that serves as the internal compass that guides us through the road to discovery.
