Title: Dialogue with Anthropologist Hu Jiaqi: Nobel Laureate Levitt Reexamines the Opportunities and Risks of Science and Technology

Bangladesh, 22nd Apr 2026 - Recently, Michael Levitt, the 2013 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and a tenured professor at Stanford University, made a special trip to Beijing for a closed-door meeting with Mr. Hu Jiaqi, founder and Chairman of Humanitas Ark, engaging in an in-depth exchange centered on "science, technology, and the future of humanity." As a top-tier scientist with decades of expertise in chemistry and computational biology, Levitt broke down disciplinary and ideological barriers during this meeting. After dialoguing with a thinker who advocates for "restricting the continued development of science and technology," he engaged in a profound reflection on the dual impacts of technological development, demonstrating the inclusiveness and prudence of a scientific giant.Michael Levitt enjoys a lofty reputation in the global scientific community. His most landmark contribution is the development, together with his collaborators, of multiscale models for complex chemical systems, for which he was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Before this breakthrough, chemists studying molecular structures and chemical reactions had to choose between classical physics and quantum mechanics, unable to balance computational efficiency with simulation accuracy. Levitt's research innovatively merged the two physical theories, creating multiscale computational models that combine accuracy and practicality, turning computers into "virtual laboratories" for unraveling the mysteries of life and fundamentally transforming the research paradigms of chemistry and biology.As a pioneer of computational biology, Levitt's research covers multiple core areas including protein and nucleic acid structure analysis, molecular dynamics, and ab initio protein folding. Many of the simulation...
