吴健雄先生的科学贡献涉及面广。她不仅以实验的精确严谨见长,而且对重要的物理基本问题有着深刻的洞察力。物理实验的发展通常会受到物理理论的制约,但吴先生不被“约定俗成”的“常识”所禁锢,不被当时的“权威理论”所吓倒,这一点是非常了不起的,对今天的物理学工作者和爱好者,对在校的青年学子们都有着很大的鼓舞作用。
吴健雄先生的一生奉献给了崇高的科学事业。她对科学真理的不懈追求,坚韧不拔的崇高品格,博大的爱国情怀,和对物理学的卓越贡献,都将在人类探索自然的历史上留下光辉印记。

中国物理学会热诚地邀请全国各省市物理学会的同仁们,广大的物理学工作者和爱好者们,中国物理学会科普基地学校的老师们、学生们,线上参与此次活动,共同纪念“物理学第一夫人”吴健雄先生,弘扬先生献身科学的崇高精神以及爱国至善的伟大情怀,以鼓励青年学子投身到中华复兴的伟大实践中去。
Professor Tang Xiaodong (唐晓东). Professor Tang is currently the leader of the nuclear astrophysics group of the Institute of Modern Physics, CAS and adjunct professor of Lanzhou University. Professor Tang completed his physics undergraduate studies at Nanjing (the Alma Mater of Madame Wu) and his Ph.D. in nuclear physics in the Cyclotron Laboratory of Texas A&M University. Before returning to China, he was a postdoc at the Argonne National Laboratory and also was an assistant professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame. He is an expert in nuclear astrophysics.
Professor Yang Haijun (杨海军). Professor Yang is the director of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics of Shanghai Jiaotong University. He completed his Ph.D. in physics through a joint-sponsorship from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of High Energy Physics and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. He was a postdoc and research faculty at the University of Michigan. He is an expert in machine learning for particle physics and collider experiments. Research wise, he was part of the CERN L3 experiment, the American FermiLab’s MiniBooNE experiment, now the LHC ATLAS experiment and deputy project director of the future Higgs factory - CEPC.
MADAME CHIEN SHIUNG WU GLOBAL SYMPOSIUM
中国科学技术协会万钢主席为这次纪念活动发来贺信:
Dear Physics Teaching Colleagues:
Your students no doubt know about the great Mme. Curie, but have they heard of Mme. Wu?Please help us publicize an upcoming Sept. 24 symposium (both real world and online Webinar) honoring the remarkable Dr. Chien Shiung Wu. This event is sponsored jointly by the American and Chinese Physical Societies and many others.
A Chinese immigrant to the U.S. born 1912, C.S. Wu was perhaps the most outstanding woman experimental physicist of her time … the “Queen of Nuclear Science”. Her accomplishments were amazing: from work on the Manhattan Project, to conducting the first experiment to show that “the universe is left-handed” (mirror-symmetry does not apply to all interactions), to being the first woman president of the world’s largest society of physicists (the American Physical society). Wu was nominated many times for a Nobel Prize and won a stunning series of other prizes during her lifetime. There was a U.S. stamp issued in her honor in 2021.
Please join us! Please help and invite your students to do the same.
With warm wishes,
The Organizing Committe
