Revealing China′s Niu Minke: junior high school attended a tenured professor at the University, China′s most Niu Minke-IT information
Zheng Xiaoting, 62 years old, pingyi County, Shandong province people, junior high school student, world′s largest dinosaur museum-curator of the Shandong Tianyu Museum of nature, in the United Kingdom in nature, and the United States the world′s top scientific journals such as science, published more than 10 papers, 2010 appointment of linyi University Professor. Its study found that even changing the scientific community on dinosaurs and early birds part of the evolution of knowledge, known as "China′s most Niu Min."
In paleontological circles, pingyi County, can also be referred to as a "holy land". The world′s largest collections of dinosaur and other prehistoric animal fossils Museum is located here. 62 year old Zheng Xiaoting never graduated from junior high school, has become a famous paleontologist. In science, the journal nature published the 6 academic articles. In order to express respect for Zheng Xiaoting, palaeontological researchers found a new dinosaur named "Zheng Xiao-Ting". Compared to the present unreliable "section", Zheng Xiaoting is deserving of being recognized as authentic national section.
Zheng Xiaoting′s success in addition to individual talents, hobbies, and unyielding spirit, there are many environmental factors. The Army broken dream, into the boiler, to model workers from grass-roots cadres, gold mine, Zheng Xiaoting ultimately choose not to be a rich and famous entrepreneurs, but hobby collections from a variety of rare minerals, teasers and become a civil paleontology researcher. His "pot of gold" is extremely high gold content, the national science and technology progress award, and from then on, the paleontological research into his life tirelessly pursue a career. It is easy to see, Zheng Xiaoting achievements, thanks to the geographical and human. "And the" most crucial and paleontological circles, China open, Zheng Xiaoting element.
Wants to when, unknown of Einstein just Berne Patent Office of one small staff, he will concentrated research of narrow relativity papers sent to Germany physics Yearbook magazine, famous physicist, and Germany Granville low Royal learned of President, and General lang grams see Hou, and no because he even a Professor are not on improper back thing, but seriously review papers, front a bright, immediately decided exception published. Planck′s advocate on this paper, Einstein overnight in Germany physics community become a bright star. Since then, even though Planck did not fully agree with Einstein′s idea, but recommended him to the Royal Society, nominated to the Nobel Prize, Planck had been willing to Einstein′s Bole, until it became the founders of quantum mechanics. Similarly, if there is no paleontological circles for Zheng Xiaoting of China research attention, recognition, support and praise, perhaps "the most Niu Min" would not have turned out.
Once upon a time, the "people" issue there, in addition to "Goldbach conjecture", but there is perpetual motion, relativity, evolution is the focus of attention, but few studies have been recognized by the scientific community. "Nuobeierge" has become a focus of attention. A wide range of people, pundits questioning attitude is normal. Started out in the field of scientific research, after all, is power and results, rather than Maverick, manipulation of grandstanding. However, it did not dare to be the first attempt does not tolerate failure conditions, did not foster a new culture, did not accept the new bearing, not generous to support new, real people is to emerge.
Some may say, "the most Niu Min" has his special way to success only outshines cases junior non-graduates engaged in high-end research path can not be copied. However, "heroes do not ask the source." The profound power of innovation among the people. Proposed in the Government work report this year, more than 100 million highly educated and professional skills of personnel, are our greatest resources and advantages. And civil person interested in scientific research is the largest resource and the advantage of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". As long as policy guidance, tilt systems, such as Mo Yan′s proposal that the two sessions this year, ice-reform of the education system and educational model, scientific and research communities are as open and inclusive as a paleontological circles in China, were able to abandon the authority first discrimination, brings together all the intellectual power, the development of innovative sources, so that more real people come to the fore, is entirely possible.
揭秘中国最牛民科：初中肄业成大学终身教授 - 中国最牛民科 - IT资讯
郑晓廷，62岁，山东平邑人，初中肄业生，全世界最大的恐龙博物馆-山东天宇自然博物馆馆长，在英国《自然》、美国《科学》等世界顶级科学杂志，发表学术论文十余篇，2010年受聘成为临沂大学教授。其研究发现甚至改变了科学界对恐龙和早期鸟类演化的部分认识，被称为“中国最牛民科”。
在古生物学界，平邑也可称作是一个“圣地”。世界上最大的收藏恐龙和其他史前动物化石的博物馆位于此地。62岁的郑晓廷初中都没毕业，已成颇具名气的古生物学家。先后在在《科学》、《自然》杂志上发表了6篇学术文章。为了表达对郑晓廷的敬意，古生物研究者们将一种新发现的恐龙命名为“郑氏晓廷龙”。相比于当下不靠谱的“民科”，郑晓廷可谓实至名归，成为公认的正宗中国民科。
郑晓廷的成功除了个人天资、爱好与锲而不舍的钻研精神，还有诸多的环境因素。从军梦想的破灭，到锅炉工，到劳动模范；从基层干部，到金矿矿长，最终郑晓廷选择的不是做个名利双收的企业家，而是从爱好收藏各种稀有矿石，急转弯而成为一位民间古生物学的研究者。他的“第一桶金”是获得含金量极高的国家科技进步奖，从此，古生物研究成了他终身孜孜不倦追求的事业。不难看出，郑晓廷的成就，得益于天时地利人和。其中的“人和”最为关键，中国古生物学界的开放，让郑晓廷如鱼得水。
想当年，名不见经传的爱因斯坦只是伯尔尼专利局的一名小职员，他将潜心研究的狭义相对论论文寄到德国《物理学年鉴》杂志，著名物理学家、德国威廉皇家学会的会长、普朗克看到后，并没有因为他连个教授都不是就不当回事，而是认真审阅论文，眼前一亮，立即决定破例发表。正是普朗克对这篇论文的大力推崇，使爱因斯坦一夜之间在德国物理界成为耀眼的一颗新星。此后，尽管普朗克并不完全赞同爱因斯坦的学术观点，但从推荐他进入皇家学会，到提名诺贝尔奖，普朗克一直甘当爱因斯坦的伯乐，直到共同成为量子力学的奠基人。同样，如果没有中国古生物学界对郑晓廷研究成果的重视、认可、支持与赞誉，或许“中国最牛民科”就不会横空出世。
曾几何时，有关“民科”的争议甚嚣尘上，除“哥德巴赫猜想”外，还有永动机、相对论、进化论等也是民科关注的焦点，但很少有民科的研究能得到科学界的认可。时下“诺贝尔哥”也成了关注的热点。对林林总总的民科，权威人士持质疑态度是正常的。毕竟在科学研究领域出道靠的是实力与成果，而非特立独行、哗众取宠的炒作过程。然而，没有敢为人先的尝试，没有宽容失败的环境，没有培养新人的意识，没有接受新人的气度，没有支持新人的雅量，真正的民科就难崭露头角。
也许有人说，“中国最牛民科”有他特殊的成功之道，仅是一枝独秀的个案，初中未毕业就从事高端科研的路径不可复制。其实不然，“英雄不问出处”。创新的深厚伟力在于民众之中。今年政府工作报告中提出，1亿多受过高等教育和有专业技能的人才，是我们最大的资源和优势。而有志于科研的民间人士也是这最大资源与优势中的“卧虎藏龙”。只要政策引导，制度倾斜，像今年两会莫言提案建议的那样，科教体制与教育模式进行破冰式改革，科研界都能如中国古生物学界般开放包容，都能摒弃权威至上的歧视，汇聚众智众力，开发创新源泉，让更多真正的民科脱颖而出，是完全有可能的。
