Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old Chinese female scientist, was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine on Oct. 5. She found a medicine that cures the deadly disease called malaria(疟疾). Tu shared the prize with two scientists from the US and Japan. Tu is the first native Chinese person to get the Nobel Prize in natural science.
Tu found artemisinin (青篙素) in sweet wormwood(青篙) back in 1971. She spent the following years trying to improve the medicine.

Today, artemisinin is still the most useful medicine that fights against malaria.

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
Always start the meeting on time. If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time shows the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
Select a note-taker or have the meeting recorded. You may need to go back to something that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
Learn to listen. So many times we think about what we are going to say and, in the process, miss important points that other group members may be contributing (做贡献). What’s more, we often hear only what we want to hear, instead of really listening to other people. Meetings with effective listening are successful meetings.
Keep the discussion on track(轨道). Many times an important topic can get sidetracked(转变话题) in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. Ask members who have different opinions to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and reduce the chances of wasting group members’ time of great value.
Give everyone an opportunity to be heard. Some people like to control meetings, while others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas freely.
End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.
