Foreign Media: Yale scientist Zhang Kai resigned and returned to China due to his belief that "Chinese Americans are almost impossible to lead major projects in the U.S.", officially joining the School of Life Sciences and Medicine at University of Science and Technology of China on January 12, 2025.

This scientist, specializing in high-resolution electron microscopy imaging technology, published a breakthrough paper in Nature just one month after leaving his position, serving as corresponding author. His research involves constructing a database of ultra-large-scale cellular structures, aiming to understand life mechanisms by observing protein activities in motion, thus providing new avenues for disease diagnosis, treatment, and health management.
