男子初中肄业成大学终身教授 被称"中国最牛民科"

2016-03-09 07:18:20   新京报

原标题:“最牛民科”郑晓廷和他的恐龙博物馆

郑晓廷62岁,山东平邑人,初中肄业生,全世界最大的恐龙博物馆-山东天宇自然博物馆馆长,在英国《自然》、美国《科学》等世界顶级科学杂志,发表学术论文十余篇,2010年受聘成为临沂大学教授。其研究发现甚至改变了科学界对恐龙和早期鸟类演化的部分认识,被称为“中国最牛民科”。

当记者如约来到郑晓廷的办公室,郑再次“退缩”了。

他抱歉地说:能不能不接受采访?

此前,他在电话里就拒绝了采访请求,经不住跑到平邑的记者当面“软磨硬泡”,才敲定这次采访,没想到最后关头,郑晓廷又动摇了。

他不想参与到时下正热的“民科”话题讨论中。

但要论中国的“民科”,郑晓廷是一个绕不过去的人物。

这位今年62岁的老人初中都没毕业,但在古生物学界,已颇具名气。为了表达对郑晓廷的敬意,古生物研究者们将一种新发现的恐龙命名为“郑氏晓廷龙”。所以,当时下各种不靠谱,甚至荒诞的“民科”引发热议时,一位科学工作者朋友建议记者去平邑,他认为郑晓廷才是真正的中国民科。

 小县城里的“最牛民科”

迄今为止,在《科学》、《自然》这两本杂志上,郑晓廷就先后发表了6篇学术文章。

郑晓廷大多数时间都待在平邑。

平邑是山东南部的一个“非著名”的小县城,它毗邻孔子的诞生地曲阜,两者相距大约80公里。

去往平邑,最快是先乘坐高铁到曲阜,然后转车。即便如此,但几乎每年,平邑都会迎来国内外古生物学者高频次的访问。

如同诞生了孔子的曲阜一样,在古生物学界,平邑也可称作是一个“圣地”。经吉尼斯世界纪录总部认证,世界上最大的收藏恐龙和其他史前动物化石的博物馆位于此地。

这家名为“天宇”的博物馆由郑晓廷一手打造。收藏有1200多件恐龙化石,各种鸟类化石标本更多,有2200多件,这两项收藏加起来,比全世界其他所有博物馆保存的同类标本的总和还要多。

中科院院士、著名的古生物学家周忠和曾评价说:“这真的是不可思议的收藏!”

更不可思议的是馆长郑晓廷,他以一个初中肄业生的身份闯入古生物学界,现在已是国内外具有一定知名度的古生物学家。

从2007年开始,他已经在国内外权威的学术期刊上发表了30多项研究成果,其中10多篇是在世界顶级的学术期刊诸如《科学》、《自然》上发表。多数时候,郑晓廷是第一作者。

2010年,郑晓廷在《科学》杂志上看到一篇文章——自从迷上古生物学之后,他请了一个英文翻译,这名翻译的主要任务是第一时间翻译国外的研究成果——这篇文章的作者是两名来自英国的古生物学家,他通过把两种原始鸟类的羽轴直径与现生鸟类的羽轴进行对比,发现这两种原始鸟类的飞羽羽轴太细弱,可能无法支持鸟类熟练飞行,因此认为飞行是在鸟类演化过程较晚期才发生的。

对这一结论,郑晓廷产生了疑问,之前他所接触到的标本似乎不能支持这一论点。鸟类飞羽的羽轴很难保存在化石中,但在600多件孔子鸟化石标本中,郑晓廷还是找到了4件标本,它们保存有清晰的飞羽羽轴痕迹。

测量之后发现,这些标本的羽轴并不细弱,长度是英国古生物学家报道的两倍,足以证明那位英国古生物学家的结论不准确。郑晓廷与人合作将这一质疑形成论文,同样发表在《科学》杂志之上,题目是《有关“细弱飞羽羽轴体现始祖鸟和孔子鸟有限飞翔能力”的评论》。

迄今为止,在《科学》、《自然》这两本杂志上,郑晓廷就先后发表了6篇文章,这位“半路出家”的古生物学者,向外界展示了他在古生物研究方面,令人吃惊的学术天赋和成就。

2010年,郑晓廷被附近的临沂大学破格聘请为教授,该校以其为核心组建地质与古生物研究所,郑晓廷担任所长。

4年后,临沂大学更是将“终身教授”的荣誉颁给了郑晓廷,以奖励其“辉煌的”科研成果。

作为一位民科,郑晓廷可谓功成名就。
