回答: 原来颜宁曾经想起诉我 由 方舟子 于 2009-01-15, 11:53:35:

考古一下,发现颜宁指的(Young Scientist Award, supported by GE Healthcare and the journal Science)和方舟子找到的(The GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists)都各自有理。问题是颜宁较不善于用证据辩论,而方舟子此点是误会颜宁了。

因为方舟子当时到Science杂志网站查索,发现有 “The GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists” 奖项的Home page(http://www.sciencemag.org/feature/data/prizes/ge/index.dtl;即2008年8月21日方舟子文章引用链接,参http://www.xys.org/xys/netters/Fang-Zhouzi/blog/shiyigong4.txt)。介绍此奖项说:“GE Healthcare, formerly Amersham Biosciences, and Science/AAAS have joined forces in creating the GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists. Since 1995, the aim of the prize has been to recognize outstanding Ph.D. graduate students from around the world and reward their research in the field of molecular biology. Both Science/AAAS and GE Healthcare believe that support of promising scientists at the beginning of their careers is critical for continued scientific progress. Each year, the grand prize winner receives a prize of US$25,000, while runners-up receive prizes of US$5,000.”由网页上的Past Prize Coverage链接进入,再选择2005 Prize Winners(http://www.sciencemag.org/feature/data/prizes/ge/2005/2005.dtl),就发现颜宁获得北美区域奖。故方舟子判断颜宁获得“The GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists” 奖项。

而颜宁给朋友的链接则是2005年Science杂志网站的旧网页(http://www.sciencemag.org/feature/data/pharmacia/prize/howto.dtl),其中说明当年申请此奖办法(Apply for the 2005 Young Scientist Award):“The Young Scientist Award has been established to provide support to scientists at the beginning of their careers, because Science/AAAS and GE believe that such support is critical for continued scientific progress. In 2004, the prize will recognize outstanding graduate students in molecular biology from all regions of the world. This international prize will be awarded for the outstanding thesis in the general area of molecular biology as described in a 1000-word essay. The winning essay will be published in Science; essays of the regional award winners will appear on Science Online. The deadline for entries is 15 September 2005.”可知颜宁所申请的奖项叫作“The Young Scientist Award”。

从下面证据可知,颜宁获奖时,此奖也叫作 “Young Scientist Award, supported by GE Healthcare and the journal Science”(可简为“GE/Science Young Scientist Award”)。2006年2月3日Natasha Pinol 在AAAS(American Association for the Advancement of Science)网站发布 “Biophysicist Ahmet Yildiz Wins GE/Science Young Scientist Award”(http://www.aaas.org/news/releases/2006/0209awards.shtml)。其文提到:“For his discovery of how proteins work within cells, Ahmet Yildiz, a regional winner from North America and the Grand Prize winner, today was named to receive the $25,000 Young Scientist Award, supported by GE Healthcare and the journal Science. He will receive his award in St. Louis on Saturday 18 February, during the Annual Meeting of AAAS, the world’s largest general scientific society, which publishes Science.”又说:“Each year since 1995, the Young Scientist Award has recognized outstanding young molecular biologists at an early stage of their careers. Some 53 young scientists have so far received the award, honoring exceptional thesis work in the field of molecular biology. Applicants for the 2005 Young Scientist Award earned their Ph.D. degrees in 2004 and submitted a 1,000-word essay based on their dissertations. Their essays were judged on the quality of research and the applicants’ ability to articulate how their work would contribute to the field of molecular biology, which investigates biological processes in terms of the physical and chemical properties of molecules in a cell. A judging panel selects the Young Scientist Award grand prize winner and may present regional awards in four geographic regions: North America, Europe, Japan and all other countries. These regional winners receive $5,000 awards. In addition to the grand prize, the 2005 awards also recognize the following regional winners: (附颜宁照片)Nieng Yan (North America): For her essay, 'Mechanisms of Programmed Cell Death in Caenorhabditis elegans. ' ”

故知颜宁获得2005年由Science杂志和GE Healthcare评选的“青年科学家
奖”(北美地区),颁奖典礼是2006年2月18日在St. Louis 的 the 2006 Annual Meeting of AAAS会上举行。
