2021，疫情終將結束
2021年1月1日，中以海德創始人、世界頂尖科學家協會主席Roger Kornberg執筆，攜Michael Levit,Steve Chu,Venki Ramakrishman,Randy Schekman，共五位諾貝爾獎得主共同發表了新年賀詞。
賀詞原文如下：
No one imagined at the end of 2019 what would be the state of the world at the end of 2020.Pandemic viral disease,profound economic dislocation,and attendant uncertainty and despair,remain causes for grave concern at the beginning of 2021.There are nonetheless reasons for hope,both immediate and in the future.With effective vaccines now available,we can be sure of a better 2021 and the eventual end of the pandemic.Hard times will continue at the beginning of the year,but by the end,much of the world’s population will have gained immunity to the virus and enjoyed life again.
回首2019年，恐怕沒人能預設2020年底這世界是如何模樣。新冠病毒全球大流行，經濟嚴重錯亂。隨之而來的不確定性和絕望仍然令跨入2021年的人們憂心忡忡。儘管如此，我們依然滿懷克服眼前的困難，擁抱未來的希望。有效的疫苗已成功上市，我們可以確信2021年會更好，疫情終會過去。預計年初仍然會有一段時間會比較艱難，但到年底，世界上大部分人口將獲得對新冠病毒的免疫力，重享生活之樂。
Victory over the virus has come at great cost in blood and treasure.At the same time,it represents the hope for the future.Victory was a triumph of science.It was achieved by international cooperation on the development of new methods of disease control.Not only were vaccines made and brought to the public in less than a year,ten-fold less time than required in the past,but the new methods will allow even more rapid production of vaccines against novel microbes that will inevitably arise in the future.Beyond advances in vaccine development,new methods of diagnosis and therapy,with similar more rapid application to novel microbes,will be available as needed in the future.
戰勝疫情要付出巨大的人力物力代價，但也終將帶來未來的希望。勝利是科學的勝利，需要全球通力合作，齊心合力開發新的疾病控制方法。不到一年的時間內實現了研製開發並成功上市，是通常藥物研發所需時間的十分之一。而新方法能讓疫苗的生產速度更快，並能應對未來不可避免的新型病毒。除了疫苗開發方面的進展外，還將根據需要提供新的診斷和治療方法，來應對未來可能出現的病毒變種。
The world laureates association has sought to contribute by promoting basic science,supporting the development of young scientists,and advocating for international cooperation.Pursuing the theme of「science and technology for the common destiny of mankind,」the world laureates association has encouraged the activities and interaction of leading scientists and their junior colleagues.This outreach and support will continue and be expanded to further the advance of science and its applications in the future.
世界頂尖科學家協會奉行「科技為人類的共同命運」，長期致力於推動基礎科學、倡導國際合作、扶持青年成長，以此為國際科學事業做出貢獻。我們將繼續鼓勵各國頂尖科學家、青年科學家開展交流活動，進一步推動科學及其應用。
If the world was poorly prepared for the pandemic,and many have suffered,we may now look forward with optimism and renewed energy for addressing other great challenges,among them climate control and destruction of the environment,peace among nations and prosperity for all.
過去，全世界沒有對新冠肺炎大流行做好充分的準備，許多人遭受痛苦；如今，我們可以樂觀地、充滿活力地應對其他重大挑戰，其中包括氣候變化、環境汙染等。我們相信，世界和平和全球繁榮終將到來。
Happy New year.
祝大家新年快樂
科學技術發展到今天，已進入「大科學時代」，全球開放、協同創新成為一種必然。中以海德協同全球智庫、頂尖科學家們不遺餘力地倡導國際合作，實現更多的從0到1的源頭創新。
當前新冠肺炎疫情在全球再次抬頭，推動疫情防控和公共衛生領域的國際合作，很有必要，非常緊迫。Roger Kornberg攜頂尖科學家協會全體高度關注疫情和最新報導的病毒變種，積極開發更高效的診療方法。而中以海德也正在推動與世界一流大學和創新研發公司合作，相信未來會有更多科技合作的故事由中以海德書寫。
中以海德是一家創新藥研發及孵化公司。2019年，科學家Roger Kornberg，企業家王石與投資家陳明鍵聯合創立。集合猶太科學家最強大腦，「移植」以色列「從0到1」的創新基因，演繹著「從1到100」的跨越，實現對創新的創新。
