. . Content introduction. .
Professor Susan Hockfield, a world-renowned neuroscientist and former president of MIT, proposed that we are in a new era of integration - the integration of biology and engineering technology. Just as the digital revolution had a disruptive impact on human society in the 20th century, the combination of biology and engineering will be the next field to create miracles.
Just as Nicholas Sneroponti's "Digital Survival" helped readers understand the digital revolution that was then at its dawn, Professor Hockfield vividly introduced the exciting fields of cutting-edge biology. Scientific and technological breakthroughs - viruses that create batteries, proteins that filter sewage, nanoparticles that screen cancer, neurally controlled bionic limbs, and phenotypic technologies that increase food production, etc. These are cutting-edge technologies that will lead the next round of technological revolution will solve our increasingly pressing environmental, energy and healthcare crises.

. . Short review. .
#
About 3 years ago, I’m not sure which book it was. It contained various comprehensive applications that advocated multidisciplinary thinking. After reading it, I wrote “smash dualism” in my notebook. In a few words, I will continue to work hard in this direction in the next three years. What really sublimates this book is the integration 2.0 in Chapter 7, the true feelings of family and country, and the unity of destiny. Now China continues to increase investment in national-themed R&D, and it is expected that the number of patent applications will surpass the United States within 10 years. The real take-off of the United States began with the catalysis of World War II. Now looking at the level of political turmoil in their country, and thinking about how I wanted to send my children to the country 4.5 years ago, it is not that people have changed, but that people have changed and cannot keep up with the changes in the environment. The MIT president's appeal may have been very influential in the 1950s-1990s, but now I have to put a question mark on it. This book is not a complete popular science book. I prefer to read it as a book that reflects personal values. It is indeed worth reading. Read it in one day.

The dean of scientists introduced the prospects of integrating biology and engineering, which made us feel more deeply about the potential and future of life sciences.

Gives people an exciting feeling. This is something you cannot feel sitting on the cold bench in the laboratory. This may be the reason why European and American scientific research institutions produce talents. Being able to become the president of MIT is indeed a well-deserved honor.
