Xinhua News Agency Beijing March. "This is a great encouragement to Chinese female researchers. "The proportion of female researchers in China is rising, but the top talent needs a lot more," he said in an interview with the Xinhua news agency in an interview with the Xinhua news agency. "The world's outstanding women Scientist Award in 2018" said in an interview with Xinhua news agency.
in February 27, 2018, Zhang Mi man received an exclusive interview with reporters in his office in Beijing. Xinhua News Agency reporter Qu Ting was awarded the award in Paris on
22 on 1998, established by UNESCO and the L'OREAL foundation in 1998 to recognize the world's five women who have made outstanding contributions to scientific progress. . The 82 year old researcher at the Institute of vertebrate and paleontologist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has won the honor this year.
"her pioneering work provides fossil evidence for the evolution of aquatic vertebrates to land," the UNESCO award gives such an assessment of Mr Zhang. In
2011, Zhang Mi man carried out field exploration in Xinjiang.
the United Nations Educational, scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says that the proportion of female researchers in the world is only 28%, and the "World Outstanding Female Scientist Award" is designed to break the sex "glass ceiling" in the field of science.
Zhang Mi's colleague Zhou Zhong and 23, director of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua news agency that the award was the first to be awarded to paleontologists, which has far-reaching significance for the development of Paleontology in China and even to the field of paleontology throughout the world.
"Mr. Zhang's moral character and academic attainment is a model for our younger generation." Zhou Zhonghe said.
Zhang Mi man, the first group of geological students trained in New China, was selected to study paleontology in Moscow State University. She accepted the suggestion by Wu Xianwen, a fish scientist, to choose ancient fish studies and to enter the "Lost World" of life evolution, the origin of quadruped animals, including people.
about 380 million years ago, which fish went on land and eventually evolved into a quadruped? Paleontologists have been searching and researching for centuries. Among them, when fish learn to breathe and when there is an inner nostril, it is a key problem.
