I admire those who can sit on the bench and do basic scientific research. This sentence means that we should respect those who do research in obscurity in the field of basic science. Basic scientific research needs long-term investment, can withstand loneliness and temptation, has long-term vision and is willing to be lonely and dedicated. People who can sit on the bench usually refer to people who concentrate on their own research work, are not disturbed by the outside world, are not eager for quick success, are down-to-earth and devote themselves to research. This spirit and character are very valuable, because they have made important contributions to the pursuit of scientific truth and the promotion of human civilization.
