2、 市民用"鱼门铃"系统帮鱼群通过水闸
Every spring, thousands of fish swim through Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands, to find a place to lay their eggs. In this process, they help eat insects and keep the waterways clean. However, there is one problem.
They have to wait at the Weerdsluis lock(水闸), which is usually closed at this time of year.
After knowing that, local ecologist Mark vanHeukelum decided to help the fish. He learned that the lock keeper didn't know when there were fish waiting at the lock. Mark set up an underwater camera at the lock and connected it to a computer and an online doorbell. When someone sees fish waiting to pass, they press the doorbell and the lock keeper will open the lock to let the fish through.
But Mark couldn't keep watching the doorbell day and night. He reached out to the public to see how many people would like to lend a hand. He was surprised. In its first spring, the Fish Doorbell was rung more than 100, 000 times by people all around the world.
This spring, people's interest didn't seem to wane. On the website, the number of visitors was always over 100 and could go as high as 500, depending on the time of day. Politely holding a door open for the friends of humans in the water is a feel-good act of kindness.
Some people are thinking of ways to automate the doorbell. But Mark holds a different view:" I hope when spring comes, people will be excited to ring the doorbell again. "

8、 诺奖获得者戈登爵士的励志故事
Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out. John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told that he was hopeless at science and was at the bottom of his class. Later, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead to.
At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was" quite ridiculous".
In spite of his teacher's criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
"My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work, " Gurdon said. In the 1960s, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal in the world.
In 2006, Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using the technique, doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.
"Luck favors the prepared mind, " Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. "Ninety percent of the time things don't work, but when they do, you have to seize the chance. "
