Learn from Each Other in Friendship and Trust ——An Interview with Prof. Herbert Jackle, Vice President of MPG

On Jan 23 rd , 2013, Prof. Dr. Herbert J ckle, Vice- President of the Max Planck Society (MPG) and a world- renowned expert in molecular developmental biology, was honoured with the CAS Award for International Scientific Cooperation of 2012 due to his devotion to the cooperation between CAS and MPG. He shared the Award together with Prof. C. N. R. Rao from India and Prof. G. A. Zherebtsov from Russia. Prof. J ckle has endeavoured to integrate a Max Planck model of management with the scientific research system of CAS in his catalytic efforts to establish and operate the CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology (PICB) in Shanghai. In an interview with BCAS reporter SONG Jianlan, he is invited to recall his experiences in cooperation with CAS and share with us his thoughts. Early involvement: Munich of September 2004 saw Prof. J ckle in an MPG-CAS talk aimed at setting up a "Max Planck Institute" beyond territories of Germany, which is now known as the CAS- MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology (PICB).

Microbial Carbon Sequestration in the Ocean: The Big Role of Small Bugs in Mitigating Global Climate Change——An Interview with Prof. JIAO Nianzhi

Ocean is the largest carbon reservoir on Earth. By taking up about one-third of all human carbon emissions, it has effectively reduced atmospheric carbon dioxide and eased global climate change. Scientists have studied extensively on the mechanisms of C02 absorption in the ocean, or the so-called ＂carbon pumps＂, from physical to chemical and biological pumps. Microbes, traditionally regarded as organic matter decomposers, had been long neglected until a few years ago Prof. JIAO Nianzhi from Xiamen University proposed the concept ＂microbial carbon pump （MCP）＂ illustrating that these tiny marine inhabitants are also producers of refractory dissolved organic carbon, a persistent form of matter which can be stored in the ocean for thousands of years and thus constitute an ideal carbon pool. Today, the MCP concept has been widely accepted as a promising sequestration strategy, and Prof. JIAO is working hand in hand with scientists from all over the world under the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research （SCOR） Working Group 134 to better understand how to use these magic creatures for preserving carbon in the deep blue.
