I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, not even running we certainly didn’t have access to modern medical was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my mom’s cure: heat deactivates proteins, and a spider’s venom is simply a form of ’s cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it? But I am a PhD student in biochemistry at Harvard, I now know that better, less painful and less risky treatments I can’t help but ask myself, why I didn’t receive one at the time? Fifteen years have passed since that am happy to report that my hand is this question lingers, and I continue to be troubled by the unequal distribution of scientific knowledge throughout the have learned to edit the human genome and unlock many secrets of how cancer can manipulate neuronal activity literally with the switch of a year brings more advances in biomedical researchexciting, transformative , despite the knowledge we have amassed, we haven’t been so successful in deploying it to where it’s needed to the World Bank, twelve percent of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a kills more than 3 million children hundred million people are afflicted by malaria over the world, we constantly see these problems of poverty, illness, and lack of resources impeding the flow of scientific knowledge we take for granted in the modern world is often unavailable in these underdeveloped in far too many places, people are still essentially trying to cure a spider bite with studying at Harvard, I saw how scientific knowledge can help others in simple, yet profound bird flu pandemic in the 2000s looked to my village like a spell cast by folk medicine didn’t even have halfmeasures to ’s more, farmers didn’t know the difference between mon cold and flu。同時(shí)擔(dān)任Nano Letters, Briefings in Bioinformatics等10多個(gè)雜志審稿人。生物技術(shù)行業(yè)在今年來(lái)?yè)碛蟹浅Q该偷陌l(fā)展,其廣大的發(fā)展空間讓他決定留在該領(lǐng)域。2015年博士畢業(yè),現(xiàn)于麻省理工大學(xué)進(jìn)行博士后研究。在演講的最后,何江說(shuō),―改變世界也意味著我們的社會(huì),作為一個(gè)整體,能夠更清醒地認(rèn)識(shí)到科技知識(shí)更加均衡的分布,是人類(lèi)社會(huì)發(fā)展的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵環(huán)節(jié),而我們也能夠一起奮斗將此目標(biāo)變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。何江在畢業(yè)演講中講述了一個(gè)自己中學(xué)時(shí)代被毒蜘蛛咬傷的―農(nóng)村故事‖,進(jìn)而推及到自己在哈佛大學(xué)所切身體會(huì)到的先進(jìn)科技知識(shí),他說(shuō)道,―作為一名科學(xué)家,積極地將我們所會(huì)的知識(shí)傳遞給那些急需這些知識(shí)的人是多么地重要‖。何江是哈佛大學(xué)歷史上第一位享此殊榮的中國(guó)大陸學(xué)生。如果我們能夠做到這些,或許,將來(lái)有一天,一個(gè)在農(nóng)村被毒蜘蛛咬傷的少年或許不用火療這樣粗暴的方法來(lái)治療傷口,而是去看醫(yī)生得到更為先進(jìn)的醫(yī)療護(hù)理。它可以簡(jiǎn)單得變成作為世界不同地區(qū)的溝通者,并找出更多創(chuàng)造性的方法將知識(shí)傳遞給像我母親或農(nóng)民這樣的群體。改變世界并不意味著每個(gè)人都要做一個(gè)大突破。但問(wèn)題是,我們?cè)敢鈦?lái)做這樣的努力嗎?比以往任何時(shí)候都多,我們的社會(huì)強(qiáng)調(diào)科學(xué)和創(chuàng)新。我成長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)歷教會(huì)了我作為一個(gè)科學(xué)家,積極的將我們所會(huì)的知識(shí)傳遞給那些急需這些知識(shí)的人是多么的重要。在畢業(yè)典禮這樣一個(gè)特別的日子,我們?cè)谧漠厴I(yè)生都會(huì)暢想我們未來(lái)的偉大征程和冒險(xiǎn)。但這種使命感不只停在知識(shí)層面,它也是我個(gè)人道德發(fā)展的重要轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn),我自我理解的作為國(guó)際社會(huì)一員的責(zé)任感。而且,大部分人對(duì)于科學(xué)家所發(fā)現(xiàn)的流感病毒能夠跨不同物種傳播這一事實(shí)并不清楚。鄉(xiāng)村的土醫(yī)療方法對(duì)這樣一個(gè)疾病也是束手無(wú)策。本世紀(jì)初的時(shí)候,禽流感在亞洲多個(gè)國(guó)家肆虐。于是,在世界上仍有很多地區(qū),人們只能依賴于用火療這一簡(jiǎn)單粗暴的方式來(lái)治理蜘蛛咬傷事故。在世界各地,我們經(jīng)??吹筋?lèi)似的由貧窮,疾病和自然匱乏導(dǎo)致的科學(xué)知識(shí)傳播的受阻。營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良每年導(dǎo)致三百萬(wàn)兒童死亡。然而,盡管我們?nèi)祟?lèi)已經(jīng)在科研上有了無(wú)數(shù)的建樹(shù),在怎樣把這些最前沿的科學(xué)研究帶到世界最需要該技術(shù)的地區(qū)這件事情上,我們有時(shí)做的差強(qiáng)人意。我們甚至可以利用一束光來(lái)控制我們大腦內(nèi)神經(jīng)元的活動(dòng)。但是,我剛剛提到的這個(gè)問(wèn)題這些年來(lái)一直停在我的腦海中,而我也時(shí)不時(shí)會(huì)因?yàn)橄冗M(jìn)科技知識(shí)在世界上不同地區(qū)的不平等分布而困擾。于是我便忍不住會(huì)問(wèn)自己,為什么我在當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有能夠享用到這些更為先進(jìn)的治療方法呢?蜘蛛咬傷的事故已經(jīng)過(guò)去大概十五年了。這樣一種傳統(tǒng)的土方法實(shí)際上有它一定的理論依據(jù),想來(lái)也是挺有意思的。那個(gè)時(shí)候也沒(méi)有一個(gè)合適的醫(yī)生可以來(lái)幫我處理蜘蛛咬傷的傷口。在我出生的時(shí)候,我的村子里面沒(méi)有汽車(chē),沒(méi)有電話,沒(méi)有電,甚至也沒(méi)有自來(lái)水。我只能看著我的手被火燒著,一分鐘,兩分鐘,直到媽媽熄滅了火苗。熱量逐漸滲透過(guò)棉花,開(kāi)始炙烤我的右手。我問(wèn)我媽媽該怎么處理我媽媽并沒(méi)有帶我去看醫(yī)生,她而是決定用火療的方法治療我的傷口。何江演講英文版The Spider’s BiteWhen I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right ran to my mom for help—but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on wrapping my hand withseveral layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth,and ignited the quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my searing pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented I could do was watch my hand burnone minute, then two minutes –until mom put out the see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, not even running we certainly didn’t have access to modern medical was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my mom’s cure: heat deactivates proteins, and a spider’s venom is simply a form of ’s coolhow that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it?
