本来想的是建个自己的网站,之后申请教职,乃至建组之后可以沿用。那样的话,第一页便该是自己的简历。然而,罗列一些去过的所谓“顶尖学府”来装点自己反而显得空洞无物。
不如来聊聊这个Logo。
S.L. 是我名字的首字母缩写。如果把黑白两点连一起,加上各自的半弧的话,便刚好形成S;中间的L自不必说。
太极。四川人道教的血脉,漂泊半生,随遇而安,及时行乐。两个半圆,一黑一白,黑中有白,白中有黑。凡事不是非黑即白,要辩证地看待事物;祸福相生相易,要在危中寻机,也要居安思危,未雨绸缪。从而达到和谐(harmony), 稳态(homeotasis), 平衡(balance/equilibrium)。平衡些啥呢?
人生可以有很多课题,但归根结底不外乎两大件,工作与生活。
工作是科学,要“衣带渐宽终不悔,为伊消得人憔悴/think long and hard”。不论是SCNP也好,LNP也罢,圆圈代表纳米颗粒。白色半弧代表小白鼠,做RNA治疗的研究;黑色半弧代表小黑鼠,做RNA疫苗的研究。致意下为科学献身的生命们。
生活是艺术,要少去思考,多去感受,体验,观察。整个logo像一张睁着眼睛的人脸。以人为镜,看自己如何将自己的投射出去,看相由心生,认清生活的真相却依然热爱。
I originally thought about building my own website, which I could continue to use when applying for a faculty position and even after establishing my own group. In that case, the first page ought to be my CV. However, listing a few so-called “top universities” I’ve visited to embellish myself feels rather hollow.
So let’s talk about this logo instead.
S.L. are simply the initials of my name. If you connect the black and white dots and add their respective semicircles, they form an S; and the L in the middle speaks for itself.
Taiji. The Daoist bloodline of a Sichuan native — having drifted half a lifetime, I take things as they come and enjoy the moment. Two semicircles, one black and one white, each with a dot of the opposite color. Nothing in the world is purely black or white; one must look at things dialectically. Fortune and misfortune give rise to and transform into each other — seek opportunity in crisis, and remain vigilant in comfort, preparing for the unexpected. In this way one can achieve harmony, homeostasis, and equilibrium. But equilibrium of what, exactly?
Life presents us with many challenges, but ultimately they boil down to two: work and life.
Work is science — thinking long and hard. Be it SCNP or LNP, the circle represents a nanoparticle. The white semicircle represents the white mouse — research in RNA therapeutics; the black semicircle represents the black mouse — research in RNA vaccines. A tribute to the lives dedicated to science.
Life is art — less thinking, more feeling, experiencing, observing. The entire logo resembles a human face with eyes wide open. Through the mirror of others, one sees how one projects oneself outward.
Il n’y a qu’un héroïsme au monde : c’est de voir le monde tel qu’il est, et de l’aimer.
