最伟大的lasker Awards, 竟然在中国当不上院士？ 由此可见，那些共产党“评选”出
的院士们有多垃圾！
今天，屠呦呦得了诺贝尔奖，让人看见的是一个多么无耻，尴尬和不要脸的中国科学与
科学家成就评价系统。那里充满着拍马迎奉，利益交换，金钱运作，权力淫威的卑鄙，
混蛋和嫖客妓女作风与行为。
不做实事，不做真事，不做有用的事，不做能看得见的事，成天tmd故弄玄虚，夸夸其
谈，装璜门面，就是共产党领导下的鸡巴蛋,王八蛋，扯他们蛋的“科学”真谛。
搞科学，做事业和做人一样，需要理性，需要踏实，需要事无巨细，需要默默无闻。靠
傻逼扯蛋的赵本山，犟牛扯蛋的方舟子，瞎鸡巴扯蛋的司马南，蔫逼空扯蛋的杨八二，
屁不懂胡扯蛋的周五毛，全他们的是糟蹋行情，羞先人而已。

Lasker Honors for a Lifesaver
By ANAHAD O’CONNORSEPT. 12, 2011
The Lasker Awards, announced on Monday by the Albert and Mary Lasker
Foundation, carry a $250,000 prize per category and are widely considered
the nation’s most prestigious medical awards.
Besides Dr. Arthur L. Horwich and Dr. Franz-Ulrich Hartl, who won the award
for basic medical research for their discoveries about protein folding, the
foundation is honoring an 81-year-old Chinese scientist for her work on
turning an herbal medicine into a widely used antimalarial drug.
The scientist is Dr. Tu Youyou, and the antimalarial drug is artemisinin,
which was discovered decades ago.
Dr. Tu and her colleagues began their work in the 1960s, during the Cultural
Revolution, when the Chinese government began a project to find a new
malaria drug that could replace the standard treatment, chloroquine, which
was losing effectiveness as malaria parasites developed resistance
They scoured the literature on ancient Chinese remedies and collected 380
extracts from 200 herbs that offered promise. One of the plants they studied
was sweet wormwood, or Artemisia annua, which was used by Chinese
herbalists centuries ago to treat fever.
Dr. Tu and her team discovered a way to extract an active substance from the
plant, removed a toxic portion of it, and demonstrated that it wiped out
the malaria-causing parasite in animals. The resulting drug, artemisinin,
was later shown to cure malaria in humans.
Today, artemisinin and its derivatives are typically coupled with other
treatments to combat malaria, and the World Health Organization recommends
this combination therapy as the “first-line treatment” against the disease.
“It is clear that Tu’s insight and vision have saved millions of lives,
particularly in the developing world, and continues to yield long-term
medical benefits in the ongoing fight against this deadly disease,” the
foundation said.
This year’s Lasker Public Service Award went to the Clinical Center of the
National Institutes of Health “for creating a research hospital where
doctors develop innovative therapies and explore new ways to diagnose, treat
and prevent a wide variety of diseases.”
That award is being renamed this year in honor of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
of New York, who received it in 2009. The prizes are to be given at a
ceremony in New York on Sept. 23.
A version of this article appears in print on September 13, 2011, on page D4
of the New York edition with the headline: Lasker Honors for a Lifesaver.
