Science requires sacrifice. This maxim is not new and our contemporaries treat it with light irony. What are the sacrifices? Scientific activity today is one of the types of business. At the first sign of talent, Russian scientists, especially young ones, are lured to prosperous America. To some satisfaction of national pride, there are still talented people who are left indifferent by the dollar arshin. Sergey Vyacheslavovich Savelyev belongs to this category.
Children's observations
The road to recognition has always been and remains difficult. To get a result, doing basic research, a real scientist neglects the usual earthly pleasures. And it's good when the experiment is completed positively. But if the result is negative, then the failed scientist evokes feelings of pity in those around him. The biography of Sergei Savelyev can be assessed in different ways. On the one hand, he is known as a successful specialist. An authoritative expert in the scientific world. His works are referenced, the conclusions are cited.
People who do not have the opportunity to "dump" from Russia are pleased to know that a famous scientist is in the ranks of their compatriots. A specialist who knows about the human brain, if not everything, then a lot. Sergei Savelyev was born on March 7, 1959 in Moscow. The only child in the family. At the same time, he had to communicate with "a whole lot" of cousins and brothers. From an early age, observing the behavior of his relatives and how each of them lives, he began to think about the reasons that induce a person to do certain things.
At the secondary school, Sergei studied well. Without thinking at all about his future career, the boy made a very specific conclusion - the stronger the student was physically, the worse he studied. It was much easier for such a representative of the human race to take money from a weak person than to earn it. Such observations did not particularly upset Savelyev, but they did not bring joy either. Later, he realized that a scientist should behave so impartially, investigating the processes taking place in nature and society. Friends on the street considered him an eccentric, but did not offend him.
Scientific career
After graduating from school, Savelyev decided to get higher education at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Biology and Chemistry. In 1983, having received a diploma, a qualified specialist starts working at the Brain Institute at the Academy of Medical Sciences. The organization of research work in this institution does not suit the young specialist. Literally a year later, he was invited to the Research Institute of Human Morphology. Within the walls of this institute, Sergei Vyacheslavovich made all his discoveries and wrote a sufficient number of monographs.
If we talk about the personal life of a scientist, then the conversation will be difficult. When Sergei turned 25, following the accepted rules, he started a family. The husband and wife lived under the same roof for almost five years, and decided to leave. The details of the procedure are carefully hidden from public discussion. It is only known that a daughter was born in marriage and today she is already a mature person. When asked how the divorce influenced scientific activity, Savelyev prefers not to answer. At the same time, he claims that love is nothing more than the sum of chemical reactions and smells.
In recent years, Professor and Doctor of Biological Sciences Savelyev has devoted a lot of time to popularizing scientific research. He willingly shares the results obtained and does not get tired of retelling complex biological processes in a simple and even primitive language. On television, the professor is a welcome guest. Popular science films that are posted on the Internet attract an audience of thousands.
