The words "265,438+0 century is the century of biology", "Life science is the most active subject in the 265,438+0 century" and "The dawn of life science is just ahead" were first uttered by famous returnees such as Chen and Shi, which attracted a lot of applause, and later turned into the irony and self-mockery of those who called on them to study biology: the treatment of biology students is extremely bleak, which is inconsistent with their efforts in learning. Some high school students think that biology is "easy to learn" because it is too shallow, especially the middle school textbook itself. If they feel good about themselves and continue to study for a doctorate in biology, the situation will change. Some senior high school students think that "you can study physics without math foundation" because they have never studied math, physics, chemistry or computer, but they can't find the law.

2 1 century is indeed the century of life science. The rapid development of various drugs, life health, brain-computer interface and artificial organs is inseparable from the rapid development of life science. The rapid development of life science has just started.

However, because it has just started, it faces numerous problems and challenges, and it takes time, energy and scientists to fill the "giant pit", so it is not surprising that its development will inevitably encounter many problems. Let's take a look at our video in detail, hoping to inspire you who understand biology or hesitate to choose biology major!

A lot of work has been automated. Prior to this, several chemical biology professors from Peking University came to UCSD for a meeting. They discussed the problem. Their conclusion is that biology really developed well in 2 1 century; However, because it has developed so well, a lot of work has been automated without manual work-for example, PCR can be done by machines. As a result, scientific research is in full swing; After that, the industry is not so short of people-because the degree of automation is too high. When I suddenly thought of undergraduate course, I was not satisfied with the pillar. I thought it would be better to fully automate this thing, which was time-consuming and laborious. I was too young to think about it now. It is precisely because the post cannot be fully automated that it is not so difficult to find a job for chemistry majors.

The prospect of scientific research has nothing to do with most people's work. Many bottlenecks in batteries, chips and photography are in materials, which are often easy to publish articles. But most of the jobs in these industries are not materials. For example, power engineers, imaging engineers, ic design, these engineers have better prospects, but they have nothing to do with materials. The reason is that a large number of people in the industry are engaged in the integrated application of mature technologies, and immature technologies are mature. As for the cutting-edge things in the industry, they are handed over to a small number of people and universities and research institutes. He may be important in a subject, but it has nothing to do with whether he is suitable for finding a job in industry.
