Follow US Investment Immigration and US News: On the afternoon of the 13th, Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang met with Marcia McNutt, Editor-in-Chief of the American journal Science, and her delegation at Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai.
Ms. Marcia McNutt, Editor-in-Chief of the American journal Science, is a geophysicist who became the new Editor-in-Chief of Science last year. Previously, she served as the Director of the United States Geological Survey. After stepping down from that position last year, she took on the role of Editor-in-Chief of Science.
At the beginning of the meeting this afternoon, Li Keqiang stated that the journal Science has a long history and a wide readership, and as an authoritative journal in the scientific community, it holds significant influence. Since Ms. McNutt took office, although it has not been long, she has worked hard to improve the quality of Science and has focused on serving the general public, achieving certain results. Li Keqiang particularly appreciated the cooperation between the Editor-in-Chief and the Chinese scientific community, as well as the dissemination of the voices and insights of Chinese scientists through the journal Science.
So, what kind of journal is Science? In fact, when it comes to the origins of Science, one must mention a world-famous scientist: Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb.
Science was founded in 1880 with a $10,000 investment from Edison and became the official publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the largest scientific organization in the United States, in 1894. It is published weekly and distributed globally.
Science is a comprehensive scientific journal. Its sections on scientific news reports, reviews, analysis, and book reviews are all authoritative popular science materials. At the same time, Science is also suitable for general readers. It has the largest paid readership among all peer-reviewed comprehensive scientific journals in the world, with an estimated total of one million readers globally.
In fact, the Chinese government and the American journal Science have always maintained a good relationship. In 2008, then-Premier of the State Council Wen Jiabao accepted an exclusive interview with Bruce Alberts, the then Editor-in-Chief of the American journal Science.
