他称自己是“为科学家服务的科学家”,他是中科院历史上最年轻的院长,他大力提倡新的科技发展观。江苏二十多家科研院所改制相继“化蛹为蝶”之时,他所在的中科院也体味着一“化”一“为”的相似过程。中国科学院院长路甬祥指出:“科研院所一定要改制,就像天要下雨。” He called himself “a scientist serving scientists”. He is the youngest president in Chinese Academy of Sciences history and strongly advocates a new concept of technological development. At the time when the system reform of more than 20 scientific research institutes in Jiangsu succeeded in “turning the pupal into a butterfly,” his CAS Institute also embodies a similar process of “transformation” and “modernization.” Lu Yongxiang, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out: “Research institutes must be restructured as if it is going to rain.”
