Introduction by Sydney Brane

Sydney Bran,1June 927+1March1October was born in South Africa, and is a British scientist. 195 1 completed the master's degree at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, 1954 obtained the doctor's degree at Oxford University in England. Now he works in Berkeley Institute of Molecular Science, California, USA. Sydney Bran is one of the most outstanding and influential great scientists in the 20th century. He chose nematodes as a new experimental biological model. This unique method enables gene analysis to be related to cell division, differentiation and organ development, and can track this series of processes through a microscope. These discoveries made by Sydney Brenner in Cambridge, England, laid the foundation for him to win the Nobel Prize. His achievements and contributions, his life and legend, and his philosophy of science have left indelible marks in the history of human civilization, inspiring generations of young scientists to work hard and innovate constantly. Sydney was born in poverty, and his father made a living by running a leather shoes workshop. After finishing university education in South Africa, Sydney went to Britain to study alone. The travel bag he used when crossing the ocean to the north has been kept in the laboratory for a long time as a souvenir. Another thing that Sydney cherishes very much is the blackboard hanging on the wall of his Cambridge office, on which many Nobel Prize winners' names are written in white paint, including his mentor francis crick and his disciple David Ball Tus Mo. This is perhaps the most distinctive birthday present in the world, and it is quite brilliant.
