Listening to Nobel Laureate Christian René De Duve (中文翻译见后)
聆听诺贝尔奖得主 勒内·德迪夫
 
Christian René, viscount De Duve is a 1974 Nobel laureate, honored for his discovery of subcellular organelles. He came to give a talk at the school when I was a graduate student working on my thesis. I came on time and I thought it might have plenty of seats as it held in a large auditorium. I got off guard by surprise to see the auditorium was packed with audience! An usher led a group of us to seat on the floor in the front section. I was quite close to the podium.
   
My mentor, a cell biologist, told me that Dr. de Duve earned his Nobel Prize for his work on subcellular biochemistry and cell biology: He discovered peroxisomes and lysosomes, cell organelles.
 
I have seen his picture in the textbook “Molecular cell biology” edited by Harvey Lodish. We have to pay respect to the teacher-student team: Teacher (Albert Claude) and students (Christian René De Duve, George E. Palade) for describing the structure and function of organelles (lysosomes and peroxisomes), groundbreaking work in biological cells. All three of the teacher-student team was awarded the shared Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974.
 
He created quite an impression with his no-slide, one-hour speech on evolution, the origins of consciousness, the development of language, the birth of science, and the origin of emotion, morality, altruism, and love. His comment on the necessity for change in terms of human behavior: Our generation has made a mess - it is up to all the people to make life better on earth. He conjectured on the future of humanity--for instance, we might evolve, perhaps via genetic engineering, into a new species, a science fiction sounded in my mind. He talked about his personal thoughts about God and immortality, which was quite a puzzle to me, an atheist at the time. He received a standing ovation in the end.
 
However, it was with a quite long period of silence afterwards.
 
Then, he asked the audience, “any questions?”

Nobody asked and it was quiet for all the audience.
 
 “Any questions?” He asked again with a slightly enthusiastic tone in his voice.
 
The moment of silence extended and it sounded the time stopped and the air was frozen. You could hear the sound of a golden ring dropped in a marble floor.
 
“In quietness and confidence is my strength. You ask, I got all the answers!” He said with a broader smile and raised his voice.
 
Finally, the Dean broke the ice of silence by asking the first question about the evolution of humans.
 
Our departmental chairperson followed up with asking about what policy we should have to avoid human genetic engineering into new species like evils.
 
On the way back to my lab, thinking about all missing experiment steps, I was quite disappointed for not hearing his insights into cell biology, which was what I came for his seminar.
 
Only years later did I realize he shed a new light on my everlasting question: Why do outstanding scientists turn out to be nonatheist on creation and evolution?
I have been surprised to see that, contrary to the claims of the new atheists, most scientists do not necessarily see religion and science as always being in conflict. I also realized that beneath the philosophizing, de Duve delineates biology excellently and authoritatively, introducing it with wonder and curiosity that are bound to inspire the next generation of scientists.

聆听诺贝尔奖得主 勒内·德迪夫
德迪夫是1974年诺贝尔奖得主,表彰他发现了亚细胞器。他来到学校的时候,我是一个研究生。我想这可能有足够的座位,因为它在一个大礼堂举行。我猝不及防的惊地看到,礼堂里挤满了观众!一个人带领我们一群人在前部地板上座。我是相当接近讲台。
我的导师(细胞生物学家)告诉我,德迪夫博士赢得了他的诺贝尔奖,他的工作对细胞内的生物化学和细胞生物学,他发现过氧化物酶体和溶酶体,细胞器。
我已经看到了他的照片教科书“分子细胞生物学”主编哈维·洛迪什。我们必须要尊敬老师和学生团队:老师(阿尔伯特克劳德)和学生(基督教勒内·德迪夫,乔治E.帕拉德)描述的细胞器(溶酶体和过氧化物酶体),开创性的工作在生物细胞的结构和功能。该师生团队被评为共享1974年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。
 
他创造了相当的印象,他无幻灯片,一小时的演讲:进化,意识的起源,语言的发展,科学的诞生,情感,道德,利他主义和爱的起源。他改变人的行为的必要性的评论:我们这一代人已经把事情搞得一团糟 - 这是所有的人,让生活更美好地球上的。他推测,人类的未来 - 例如,我们可能会进化,也许可以通过基因工程,到一个新的物种,科幻小说在我的脑海里响起。他谈到了他个人的想法,上帝和永生,这是相当长给我的一个谜的时候,一个无神论者。他获得了全场起立鼓掌中结束。
 
然而,掌中结束后是相当长的沉默。
 
然后,他问观众,“有什么问题吗?”
 
没人问,所有的观众是安静的。
 
 “有问题吗?”他又问了一遍他的声音稍微热情的色调。
 
片刻的沉默拓展,响起的时候停了下来,空气中冻结。你可以听到一个金戒指下降的大理石地板的声音。
 
“平静和信心,是我的强项。你问,我有所有的答案!“他说,与更广泛的微笑,并提高了嗓门。
 
最后,院长的沉默,打破了僵局,问的第一个问题关于人类的进化。
 
我们的部门主席问,我们应该有什么样的政策,以避免人类基因工程进入一个新的物种。
 
在回我的实验室的路上,为所有丢失的实验步骤,我很失望:这是我来到他的研讨会,没有听到他细胞生物学的见解。
 
多年后,我才意识到他在我永恒的问题流下了新的光:为什么杰出的科学家变成nonatheist呢?
 
我一直惊讶地看到新的无神论者的主张,相反,大多数科学家并不一定会看到宗教和科学看作始终处于冲突。我也意识到德迪夫的哲思,描绘生物学出色和权威性,必将激励下一代科学家的好奇心和求知欲。
