China News Service, Beijing, March 31 (Reporter Ying Ni) She is an internationally renowned female scientist born in the 1980s. She is Fu Qiaomei, born in December 1983.

As a leading figure in ancient DNA research in China, Fu Qiaomei recently discovered through ancient genome research an unknown modern population in southern China about 11,000 years ago, providing important clues and evidence for the formation and evolution of the Chinese nation and the origin of Chinese civilization. .

　　She participated in the design of the first domestic parallel operating system compatible with international industrial standards. She proposed and realized the idea of ​​system-level fault tolerance, and successfully solved the usability problem of supercomputers.

She is Academician Chen Zuoning, and pursuing science is a way of life for her.

　　Chen Zuoning, Vice President of Chinese Academy of Engineering, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wang Xiaoyun, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cryptographer Wang Xiaoyun, Researcher of Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Expert of Paleogenetics Fu Qiaomei, Associate Dean of Institute of Future Technology, Peking University, Molecular Cytology expert Liu Ying...The strongest women in China's science and technology field gathered at the first "Women's Beauty-Women's Science and Technology Forum" on the 30th to encourage women to stay curious and be more courageous.

　　Chen Zuoning reviewed the important role played by female medical workers and scientific and technological workers in the battle against the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020.

She took the heroic stories of academicians Chen Wei, Li Lanjuan, and Qiao Jie of the Chinese Academy of Engineering as examples, showing their precious qualities of being in white clothes, benevolent doctors, fighting hard, fighting the epidemic with science and technology, and being unshaven.

She also pointed out that in the special historical period of 2021, "China's development requires the power of female compatriots, and the progress of the world requires the outstanding wisdom of female scientific and technological workers."

　　She introduced that "gender equality" has always been a priority of UNESCO (UNESCO) and a long-term focus area of ​​UNESCO's International Engineering Science and Technology Knowledge Center (IKCEST).

She hopes that the majority of female scientific and technological workers will continue to work hard to support "half the sky" in order to build my country into a world scientific and technological power.

She also particularly encourages young women to bravely choose to devote themselves to engineering and technology careers. "Gender is not a problem, as long as you are interested, you should work hard. Women actually have many characteristics and advantages."

　　Professor Fu Qiaomei shared the theme of "Love Perseverance, Encounter Paleogenetics, Beyond Chance and Lucky".

She said: "Combined with my own experience, some confusion and some thinking, why study paleogenetics? It comes from love and perseverance. There are many uncertainties in the process of growing up. The biggest feeling in the past is to find what you like. Go on steadfastly, love research work like life, and feel happy without hard work. Young people face many choices and need us to do well in the moment and gain something; face choices, bear the courage, explore interest, and act; Seize the opportunity and do your best. Because of love, I stick to it and put my ideas into action, so that I am closer to my dreams. I hope all students can love, pursue, persist, and gain something."

　　Professor Liu Ying shared the theme of "Your Future is the Sea of ​​Stars", "Curiosity is the driving force driving the progress of human civilization. From careful observation of life, laboratory extraction of banana DNA, to determination of life science volunteers; studying in the United States, When I challenge the limits of scientific research time and time again, I am more curious and more interesting. I design experiments, design hypotheses, and carry out experiments. Every time I am full of expectations. Scientific research has taught me not to persist because of hope, but to persist. There is hope. I talked about the research that I am interested in after returning to China, metabolism and aging, and the induction of nutrients by cells. Scientific research has made me a spiritual freedom king. I hope that young people will remain curious and love what you have in the process of pursuing scientific research. Love, do what you do, listen to your heart, don’t ask questions."

　　"Curiosity" and "brave" are the key words of these female technologists.

　　"If I can go back a few decades and return to your age, but travel back to the present, I will definitely have more points of interest. But one thing will not change, that is, the eternal heart of exploring the unknowns of science." Dean Chen Zuoning said.

　　"Live in the moment, turn ideas into actions, and always remain curious", this is a message from Fu Qiaomei.

And Liu Ying summed it up in one sentence, "Be brave, work hard, and see where your limits are."

　　Wang Zhizhen, vice chairman of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: “Young people are the backbone of our nation’s great rejuvenation and the future and hope of our country. Women are half the sky of mankind, and female students are half of the sky and half of the sky for students. The display of status, role, and strength is an important symbol of social civilization and progress. China desperately needs intellectuals who are insightful, visionary, capable, responsible and mission-oriented, and hope that female scientific and technological workers can gain access to society. Pay more attention and call for the strengthening of communication and dialogue between scientists and the public."

　　The forum is co-sponsored by the UNESCO International Engineering Science and Technology Knowledge Center (IKCEST), the Chinese Women Technologists Association, Tencent Beijing Headquarters, and Tencent Charity Foundation.
