Upon hearing Zhao Yi's explanation, Shi Jingwen felt an almost overwhelming urge to curse.
Inspiration and luck?
Those two things truly can't be learned!
Yet, Shi Jingwen had to admit that what Zhao Yi said was the truth: much of medical research depends on luck, like discovering some new type of protein, bacteria, virus, etc.
Some scientists who have made significant contributions to medical research, including Nobel laureates, owe their success, in part, to luck.
For instance, one Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to three scientists from Country F and Country D: Harald zur Hausen, Wass Benard Varmus, and Luc Montagnier. They discovered viruses that cause AIDS and cervical cancer and thus shared the Nobel Prize.
