Scientist thinks beyond rigid lines of his profession

Does one have to get married to science first to become an established scientist?

At first glance, 55-year-old Gao Fu, with his PhD from Oxford University, seems proof of the idea.

Recognized in 2013 as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is one of the highest honors for a scientist in China, Gao is the vice-president of Beijing Institute of Life Science in CAS, and deputy director-general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
