“2011年度国家科学技术奖”评审近日结束,在“自然科学奖”名单中,一等奖空缺。这已经是从2000年开始,过去12年里该奖项的第8次空缺。中科院院士王文采表示:中国基础科学研究落后导致奖项空缺。这一消息引起人们的热议和惋惜,认为这是中国当下浮躁的社会环境造成的:基础科学不是发明、技术,难以立刻转化为经济利益,因此很难吸引人们的关注。 “2011 National Science and Technology Award ” review concluded recently, “Natural Science Award ” list, the first prize vacancies. This is the eighth vacancy in the past 12 years since 2000. Wang Wenzai, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: China's lack of basic scientific research leads to the lack of awards. This news has aroused heated discussion and regret that this is caused by the current impetuous social environment in China: basic science is not invention, technology, it is difficult to immediately turn into economic interests, it is difficult to attract people's attention.
