If there is also a "dominant president's article" in the scientific research world, then his way of opening it may be like this...
Chen Yiran, a professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University and an ACM/IEEE Fellow, once posted a message on social media, which was widely disseminated in major scientific research WeChat groups:
He said that he heard a gossip just now: the Billionaire fiancé of a female PI in a famous school donated 500 million US dollars to her, so that she can no longer worry about applying for projects, and recruit 150 scientists to concentrate on scientific research!
Seeing this news, I was blindsided by the comments of the IFC and anxiously waiting for the August lottery. I was shocked at first, and then shed tears of poverty.
As soon as the news came out, it aroused strong onlookers from scientific researchers (people who eat melons) 
. In just one day, it was forwarded as high as 21,000 and liked as high as 113,000. The popularity is close to that of entertainment news.
A reality idol drama for scientific researchers
Female protagonist: Well-known biologist Male protagonist: Young billionaire
According to Professor Chen Yiran’s Weibo update:
The heroine is Silvana Konermann, an assistant professor of biochemistry at Stanford University, and the hero is Patrick Collison, the co-founder/CEO of Stripe.
They are said to have met when they were 17 years old in a science competition in the European Union, when Patrick took the second place on behalf of Ireland. Yes, as you guessed it, lost to Silvana who represented Switzerland.
The two will be married in April 2022
By preliminary search:
The female assistant professor Silvana mainly studies genetic engineering, transcription and epigenetics, neuroscience, and is a proper top biologist. Nature, Science, and Cell are soft-handed. Take a look at the following paper catalog:
It can be said that she is a proper academic master. She completed her bachelor's degree in biology at ETH Zurich in 2009 and studied psychology at the Open University of London.
Since 2010, she has been a PhD student in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. From 2011 to 2015, she conducted research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research.
Since leaving MIT, she has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California.
The male protagonist Patrick Collison, about 32 years old, with a wealth worth billions of dollars, is one of the founders of the digital payment company Stripe.
Patrick took his first computer course at the University of Limerick at the age of 8. In 2007, at the age of 18, Patrick and his brother John founded the software company "Shuppa" in Limerick.
In 2010, Patrick dropped out of MIT and his brother John Collison dropped out of Harvard. The two wrote seven simple lines of code and together founded the payment company Stripe.
The brothers are worth at least $3.2 billion after Stripe raised $150 million from CapitalG, the investment arm of Google parent Alphabet, and General Catalyst Partners .
6. Research institutes created by 5 "small goals"
Professor Chen Yiran also said on Weibo:
The male protagonist not only donated by himself, but also called on others to join. In the end, everyone donated 650 million US dollars to set up a center, with my girlfriend as the director.
The domineering president Shuang Wen who sent flowers, planes and castles is extremely low compared to this: the most extreme expression is to support the people you love to change the world! 
I hope that the super rich in China can learn from others while buying houses, yachts and wineries.
People who eat melons:
This is love, this is science
1. I thought that at this age, I would no longer be poisoned by the domineering president Wen, but this is research funding, I really can’t stand it
2. Insane, and then they had a falling out... The woman is the kind who never bows her head, the man hates it, and then voted 1 billion to the opposite university
3. Can you tell me which university or research institute it is from, so that I can go to it. Hahaha. I'd be happy even to clean the toilet. This is really learning. Applying for the fund and so on, I always feel that the beggars have no dignity, especially the beggars who have been swept away by the imperial examination system hahaha
4. This is love, this is scientific research, noble and pure! really envious
