Key takeaways

Xie Daoxin belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Xie Daoxin to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Xie Daoxin from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Xie Daoxin (Chinese: 谢道昕; born January 1963) is a Chinese plant physiologist and the current director of MOE Key Laboratory of Bioinformatics, Tsinghua University.

Early life and education Xie was born in Xinshao County, Hunan in January 1963. After the resumption of college entrance examination, he entered the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where he graduated in 1983. He was a research assistant at Hunan Cotton Research Institute for a year. In 1984 he was accepted to the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1990.

Career in the United Kingdom From 1990 to 1994 he was a research associate at the John Innes Centre & Leicester University. He was a senior research associate at the University of East Anglia from 1994 to 1999.

Career in Singapore From 1999 to 2002 he was an adjunct assistant professor at the National University of Singapore and senior scientist, principal investigator and head of Plant Signal Transduction Laboratory. From 2002 to 2005 he was a senior scientist, principal investigator and head of Ubiquitin Signal Transduction Laboratory.

Career in China Xie returned to China in 2006 and that same year became professor at the School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University.

Honours and awards November 22, 2019 Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) 2023 Asian Scientist 100, Asian Scientist

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Xie Daoxin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Xie Daoxin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Xie Daoxin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Xie Daoxin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Xie Daoxin

In research: Xie Daoxin appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Xie Daoxin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Xie Daoxin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1963 births, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences alumni, Hunan Agricultural University alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Xie Daoxin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
