[quick news] report released by Springer nature on October 30, 2018: Shanghai has become the Chinese city that scientists all over the world most want to work in

Springer nature released a report: Shanghai became the most desired Chinese city for global scientists to work in October 29, and the 2018 global scientist "ideal city" survey report was released at the 2018 Pujiang innovation forum held in Shanghai In 2018, Shanghai Institute of science and Springer nature jointly conducted a questionnaire survey for 654 front-line scientists from major countries and regions around the world In the survey of the most ideal working cities for global scientists, Shanghai ranks first in China and 16th in the world According to analysis, Shanghai's main attraction to global scientists is its excellent technological innovation resources and "hardware" conditions Shanghai scored the highest in terms of the support of scientific research funds in the evaluation of scientific and technological innovation environment in the preferred work city Other advantages of Shanghai are leading scientific research institutions, scientific research jobs, high-tech industries and scientific research infrastructure In terms of income level of scientists, opportunities for international exchange and cooperation, and entrepreneurial environment, Shanghai is relatively weak Http:// the first Sino French "mixed race" satellite launched the first Sino French ocean satellite jointly developed by China and France, which was launched from China Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 08:43 on October 29 After the satellite is officially put into use, it will work continuously in an orbit 520 kilometers from the ground to realize a large area, high-precision synchronous observation of the sea surface wind and waves around the world, and the observation data will be shared by China and France The development of the satellite lasted for ten years China was responsible for providing satellite platform, sea wind observation load and launch measurement and control, while France was responsible for providing wave observation load It is not only a milestone in the high-tech cooperation between the two countries, but also a concrete embodiment of the continued cooperation between the two countries in jointly tackling climate change, which will promote the development of marine satellite engineering and the improvement of satellite application service level of the two countries Http://digitalpaper.stdaily.com/http_ / 30 / content_.htm? Div = - 1 3D organ chip can monitor cell activity in real time, the website of Cambridge University in the UK recently announced that researchers at the University have developed a three-dimensional (3D ）Organ chips, which can monitor cell activity in real time, are expected to be used to develop new therapies and reduce the number of experimental animals in the study The new device is based on a conductive polymer sponge "scaffold," which researchers assemble into three-dimensional electrochemical transistors The cells grow in the scaffold, and then the whole device is placed in a plastic tube, through which the nutrition needed by the cells can flow Using soft sponge electrode instead of traditional metal electrode provides a more natural environment for cells, and it is also the key for organ chip technology to successfully predict organ response to different stimuli With the device, researchers say, they can study cells and tissues in new ways Https:// Digoxin can improve the survival rate of patients with brain tumors Neuroblastoma (also known as myeloblastoma) is a common type of brain tumor in children, which is considered to form mainly from cerebellum However, due to its different subtypes and great differences between them, it is difficult to target, resulting in a low survival rate Digoxin is a drug approved for the treatment of cardiac dysfunction, while researchers at the Weill Cornell Medical College in the United States found that in the experimental group of surgical treatment and radiation treatment, the use of digoxin at the same time can improve the survival rate It is important that the concentration of digoxin in the blood of patients can be kept in a certain range for a long time, which is helpful to improve the prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma Relevant papers were recently published on Science Translational Medicine and selected as cover papers Http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/10/464/eaat0150 the world top scientists forum was held in Shanghai with the theme of "science and technology, for the common destiny of mankind" and opened in Shanghai More than 20 Nobel laureates, more than 10 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, more than 20 winners of Turing prize, Wolff prize, Lasker prize and MacArthur genius prize, as well as many outstanding young scientists from home and abroad, have come together to discuss the most cutting-edge topics in the field of science At the conference, the first science and technology community project of the world's top scientists was launched, which will be committed to introducing top science and technology original resources, docking with the Chinese market, and making use of the "cluster effect" of top scientists It is reported that during the three-day meeting period, a number of thematic forums will be successively launched, focusing on life science and industry, innovative drug research and development and transformation medicine, brain science and artificial intelligence; in addition, the special forum has built a platform for in-depth interaction between outstanding young scientists and the world's top scientists; scientists from all countries will also speak freely around innovation and development at the round table http://news.sciencenet.cn/sbhtmlnews/2018/10/340342.shtm
