Foreign media: Nobel laureate and American biologist David Baltimore passed away this month at the age of 87.
Through decades of scientific exchange, he helped China become a global power in the field of life sciences.
Baltimore revolutionized gene research at the age of 30 and guided dozens of Chinese researchers, also participating in the establishment of top Chinese research institutions. His last paper was published in a Chinese journal. Chinese and Chinese-American scientists remember his contributions to strengthening China's scientific foundation and promoting international cooperation.
In a commemorative article, his students mentioned that Baltimore visited China multiple times, covering many universities and research institutions. Through face-to-face exchanges, lectures, and other means, he built bridges for cooperation. His contributions went beyond the role of an academic advisor, reflecting his belief in "science knows no borders" and creating opportunities for global young talents, a spirit that is admirable.
