Vol 5 Chapter 365: Michael Arthur

There are too many talented students at University College London, and Wan Sheng is definitely not ranked among them. It can be said that ‘less one is more than one, and more than one is not more’.
As one of the most famous universities in the UK, University College London is the founding college of the University of London Alliance, and is also known as "G5 Super Elite University" with Cambridge University, Oxford University, Imperial College, London School of Economics and Political Science.
"G5 Super Elite University" represents the UK's top scientific research strength, teacher and student quality and economic strength.
Up to now, among the alumni who have studied, worked or are currently working at University College London, there are 32 Nobel Prize winners and 3 Fields Prize (the world's highest mathematics awards) winners. In addition, there is no shortage of politics and science. , Celebrities in culture, entertainment and other fields.
Among them are artificial intelligence "Father of AlphaGo" Demis Hasabis, "Father of Optical Fiber" Gao Kun, "Father of Telephone Communication" and inventor Alexander Bell, Dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Lu Jiaxi, Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi of India , Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito and Junichiro Koizumi, etc.
The number of celebrities from the University College London cannot be counted, but what can Wan Sheng count?
Wan Sheng chatted with Huo Kehua, and then Huo Kehua talked about the purpose of letting him come, "It's Dean Arthur who wants to see you."
"President Arthur?"
"Don't you know? Michael is the president of the university."
"Of course I know why I have been in school for so many years, but when you said" Arthur ", I didn't remember it for a moment."
Huo Kehua nodded and remembered something again, saying, "By the way, the school's medical department appreciates your research, and some people propose to award you an honorary doctorate."
"what?"
Wan Sheng was a little dazed.
Honorary doctorate, that's a great honor!
An honorary doctorate is also a type of degree. It is an honorary degree awarded based on academic achievements or contributions to the country and society without conducting examinations and thesis defenses.
In this degree. Different countries have different requirements.
The granting of honorary doctorate degrees in China began in 1983. The purpose is to recognize outstanding scholars, scientists or well-known politicians and social activists in the academic, economic, educational, scientific, cultural and health fields, as well as social development and Outstanding contribution in human progress.
In the West, the practice of an honorary degree is a long time ago. It can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when universities awarded honorary degrees in order to show respect for someone, or to exempt certain legal obligations.
The issuance of an honorary degree does not need to go through the normal progression process (Bachelor, Master, Ph.D.), nor does it need to submit relevant graduation thesis. It is more an honor to reward the outstanding people for their outstanding contributions in related fields. Or reward its major discoveries in related fields.
British universities are fully free and democratic in choosing who will become their honorary doctorate.
Each school has different regulations in terms of award criteria and award procedures, which makes the honorary doctorate of British universities very diverse.
For example, some people with outstanding abilities in various fields may obtain an honorary doctorate in the United Kingdom.
One person worth mentioning is Mr. Li Jiacheng, Chairman of the Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group.
In 2001, Cambridge University awarded an honorary doctor of law degree to Li Jiacheng, saying that when he established his business kingdom, Li Jiacheng did not forget to cultivate the next generation and contribute to the country. He highly praised his selfless contribution to education and noble patriotism.
In addition, there are many famous people in China who have obtained honorary doctorate degrees.
The honorary doctorate is also divided into ‘levels’. Like some low-ranking schools in the UK, the "Honorary Doctor" degree awarded is just good-looking, in fact, it is not recognized by the world.
The honorary doctorate of ‘G5 Elite University’ is different. The honorary doctorate of European countries, even the United States, is recognized.
University College London is one of the ‘G5 Elite Universities’, so Wan Sheng was still surprised when he heard the news from Huo Kehua.
His research in sports medicine. Although it is very in-depth, but it has not been really applied in practice, nor is there any so-called "make outstanding contributions", he does not quite understand the reason why he can be considered by the school to award an "honorary doctorate".
Wan Sheng asked.
Ben Huo Kehua smiled slightly. Say, "Wan Sheng, don't underestimate yourself. There are some situations you don't know. In this year's Nobel Prize, your research in sports medicine was nominated for the 'Medical Award'."
"... Nobel Prize in Medicine?"
Ben Howard nodded affirmatively. "The Nobel Prize in Medicine ... I really envy you. You can be nominated for this award at the age of 30. It is said that many medical experts value you and think that your research will promote the development of medicine in the world."
"However, this year ’s nomination has ended in February. You should be nominated next year, but I think your chances are not big. The main thing is that Caroline Medical School has also discussed your research. Some professors I think that it takes a long time for your research to exercise in practice ... "
Wan Sheng has been listening carefully.
Ben-Huo Kehua is talking about the selection of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The world ’s highest medical award is selected once a year. The nomination deadline is February 1 each year. Although someone mentioned the name of Wan Sheng, Carlo Lin Medical College has also discussed Wan Sheng's research, but the deadline for nominations has passed, so if you want to get a real nomination, you have to wait for next year.
Although he was not directly nominated, Wan Sheng was also very excited.
That is the Nobel Prize in Medicine, not to mention the real award, even if it is nominated, it is a great honor.
"President Arthur asked me for this?" Huo Kehua finished, Wan Sheng asked.
Huo Kehua nodded and shook his head again, "He should be for sports medicine education."
"education?"
"I don't know very well. Michael went to the United States and will come back tomorrow. You better stay in London for two more days."
"no problem."
After the two talked, Wan Sheng left. He stayed in London for one night and went to the office of the president of University College London the next afternoon to find the president Michael Arthur.
Michael Arthur has been the president of University College London for many years. Before that, he was a well-known figure in "Applied Physics". One of his patented inventions is widely known-Ringing-iruit, which is used in telephone systems The popularization of this invention, an electronic ringing circuit, also made Michael Arthur famous.
However, after the 1990s, Michael Arthur was dedicated to education, and did not make any contribution to scientific research. His name gradually disappeared in the field of research.
Except for some news reports on the post of Principal of University College London, Michael Arthur ’s name is rarely associated with ‘top academic research in the world’.
When he saw Wan Sheng, Michael Arthur was very happy. He praised Wan Sheng for his young and promising, and then directly mentioned two things.
One is that Wan Sheng received the ‘Honorary Doctor ’s Nomination’ from University College London, and the second is the key point. That is to hope that Wan Sheng will add some simple content of his research to the sports medicine education of University College London.
Wan Sheng was a little shocked, and immediately understood.
In the world, 'sports medicine' is a new topic. Even if you are a world-renowned university college in London, the content of 'sports medicine' education is very scarce. This is after all a new discipline in the past decade. Undergraduate education in the college There is very little content, and few students can get a master's degree.
Wan Sheng's research in sports medicine can obtain a master's degree, and the research is widely recognized. It can be said that it is quite remarkable. Many of his papers are novel ideas, and the depth of research has reached the world's top level.
In this research, Wansheng is already the top in the world, so his research has been recognized by many world medical experts, so some of its simple content can be used as the educational content of ‘sports medicine’.
Michael Arthur hopes that Wansheng can help the University College London's "sports medicine" education add some content to improve the college's educational level in this regard.
After some consideration, Wan Sheng directly agreed.
He had no reason to refuse.
It can be said that it is a great honor to add content to the education of University College London, not to mention that he was born at University College London and still has a lot of feelings for the college. He can help his alma mater as much as he wants to do. thing.
After Wan Sheng agreed to ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Michael Arthur invited him to share dinner, and then talked about some things about the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
"You are still young, don't worry too much."
Michael Arthur said, "I think you will have a chance next year, but I can't guarantee it. After all, what the Americans think, no one knows." The Americans he said are actually a range, referring to Medical professor working in the United States.
Afterwards, Michael Arthur asked about his research progress again. Wan Sheng then summarized that he also talked about his own medical device company owned by the Tagore Group, and would set up a research team to use his research. Manufacture some cutting-edge sports recovery equipment.
Michael Arthur was very interested in this, asked a lot of related things, and promised that after making good equipment, the four large hospitals belonging to the University College London would consider taking part of the trial.
Hearing the principal ’s promise, Wan Sheng was very happy. He did not expect to be able to negotiate a ‘sale’.
In this way, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two is better. (To be continued.)
