Chapter 234: The Wolf Award Announced!
As Jason Leighton's interview ended, the top doctor's praise once again brought more attention to the RSCA.
All of a sudden, the entire medical community began to pay attention to when this new drug will start clinical trials.
It's just that, at a time when the medical community is bustling, somewhere in Israel, something else is being discussed.
……
"So, this meeting will be the last time we will discuss the winners."
In the conference room, Setis Olga, who was sitting in the first seat, slapped the table and announced.
Here, there is the Wolf Prize Committee, and the people present are naturally the members of the committee.
In their hands, they all have the voting power to decide who will win the award.
The other committee members present had solemn eyes and did not speak.
"Of course, before the discussion officially begins, I still need to emphasize to you that we will announce the list to the public on February 9, so I hope that this meeting can be an effective meeting."
As the chairman of the committee, Setis Olga glanced around at everyone present and said again.
"Okay, according to the old rules, let's start with the math prize, the final result of your math prize jury should also be determined, right? Busa Curtis. ”
As he spoke, Setis Olga looked at the chairman of the judging committee for the Mathematics Prize.
Busa Curtis coughed twice, and then said: "Regarding this, I don't think I have any doubts for a long time, and it is definitely Li Mu." ”
"Good." Setis Olga nodded, then turned to look at the other person, "So, what about physics?" ”
"Li Mu."
Iliyan Butch, chairman of the Wolf Prize in Physics jury, said in a deep voice.
The audience fell silent again.
"So, are you sure that your math and physics prizes will not be changed? Is it clear that this year's Wolf Prize, the two most important awards, will be awarded to one person at the same time? ”
Questions were raised.
And this issue has always been the focus of their discussions.
Exactly do you want to give two awards to a person at the same time in the same year.
As an important award in the academic world, second only to the Nobel Prize in terms of status, Wolfe's Prize in Physics is considered to be the vane of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the Mathematics Prize is listed as one of the three major awards in the field of mathematics.
If the two awards were given to the same person at the same time, it would be unacceptable for those who believe that the image of the Wolf Prize should be maintained.
"It's fine if it's a year away, but if it's awarded to one person in the same year, it's very important for us to think about the impact on us, and the impact it will have on the academic community."
Jokia Padilla, director of the Wolf Prize Foundation, said.
As a trustee of the Wolf Prize Foundation, although he is not part of the jury, after all, the prize money is provided by their foundation.
And Giorgia Padilla has always valued the "reserve" of the Wolf Prize, so he believes that no matter how good the winners are, they should not be too proactive.
"Our aim is to make it possible for any laureate to be honored to have won the Wolf Prize."
"That's what the Foundation means," said Giorgia Padilla. ”
"So, I would like to invite the two chairmen of the jury, Busa Curtis and Iliyan Buch, and I hope you will seriously consider it, as I said at the last meeting."
Hearing his words, everyone present showed impatient expressions.
In each of the previous discussions, Giorgia Padilla had rejected their proposal for almost the same reasons.
Now, they're all getting a little tired of it.
“我们数学评审委员会,一致同意李牧获奖,绝对不会改变。 ”
"It's the same with our physics review committee, it's not going to change."
Giorgia Padilla frowned: "You ......"
"That's enough, Director Padilla, don't always speak in the sense of the Foundation, excuse me, can you represent the Foundation with full powers? Can you represent Mr. Wolfe? Busa Curtiss interrupted Giorgia Padilla.
"The purpose of the Wolf Prize is to reward scientists who have made outstanding contributions, not to make scientists feel grateful for receiving the Wolf Prize."
Eliyan Buchi also nodded, and said very seriously: "I'm sorry that Padilla History is hard for me to imagine this year, who is more suitable than Li Mu for other candidates to win the Wolf Prize, even if it is the second choice, it is far from Li Mu's achievements." ”
"Let's just say that in physics, the dimensional force theory comparable to the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, the fifth fundamental force of the universe, the fundamental force of the fundamental force, if the physics prize is not awarded to him, the public will only question our authority."
"In mathematics, I really can't think of any more deserving of a mathematics prize than the Hail Conjecture, the Twin Prime Conjecture, and the Goldbach Conjecture, and likewise, if we don't give a gift, our authority will be questioned."
"It's much more important than what you say!"
"And if we don't choose Li Mu, how will we, the members of the review committee, be questioned by the academic community?"
"Director Padilla, do you really understand academics?"
Bombarded by the chairmen of the two jury committees, Giorgia Padilla's face was a little unpleasant.
Of course, before he could speak, the chairman of the medical award committee on the side also spoke.
"To be honest, Director Padilla, considering the increasing influence of Li Mu's vascular fluid dynamics analysis on diagnostics, as well as the significance of his data analysis theory to our research, in fact, he has already been included in our list of candidates for next year, and there is a high probability that it will be awarded to him, so maybe we will have to dwell on this issue at that time."
"You ......" was objected to by so many people, and Giorgia Padilla was a little embarrassed, "Don't forget, I said this is what the Foundation meant, not me. ”
“那我就直接给沃尔夫先生打个电话好了。 ”
As he spoke, Illyan Buch took his phone out of his pocket and started calling.
The Wolf Prize was established in 1976 by Ricardo Wolff, and the Wolf Foundation is responsible for awarding the prize, with the Wolf family as its chairman.
So the Mr. Wolf they are talking about is the current chairman of the Wolf Foundation, James Wolfe.
Then, before Giorgia Padilla could react, the phone was answered.
The hands-free was turned on, and the voice of James Wolfe came from the other side: "Professor Butch, is there something wrong?" ”
Eliyan Butch then told all the things that Giorgia Padilla had done before, until at the end, he asked, "Mr. Wolf, what I want to know is, is what Director Padilla said is really what the Foundation meant?" ”
There was silence for a moment, and finally a voice came: "Damn, I mean, to a certain extent, to maintain the image of the Wolf Prize, it is mainly based on the opinions of the professors, rather than maintaining the image without a bottom line." ”
"What's more, I also think that Dr. Li deserves to be awarded two awards at the same time, which is an honor for us."
"Professor Butch, I support all of your decisions, Padilla idiot, I'll fire him."
James Wolfe's words rang out in the conference room, and Giorgia Padilla's face had turned pale.
"Mr. Wolfe, I'm not ......"
However, before he could finish his words, Illyan Butch smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust and understanding, and I hope you have a pleasant trip to Hawaii and goodbye." ”
Hanging up the phone, everyone present glanced at Giorgia Padilla.
"Security, where are the security guards?"
"Take this unrelated person who broke in."
……
Eventually, Giorgia Padilla was dragged away by security guards.
The atmosphere in the conference room was suddenly much more harmonious.
In the same way, the subsequent determination of the winners has also become smooth.
Until the end, Setis Olga smiled and said, "Then, our list is finalized and ready for publication." ”
Everyone nodded their heads: "Yes, Mr. President." ”
And just like that, on February 9, local time.
On the official website of the Wolf Prize, this year's winners are officially announced.
The winners of the Mathematics Prize and the Physics Prize have the same name.
Li Mu!
Then, the academic community exploded.
Double Award Winner!
