刚收到的来自俞君英的电子邮件(两个typo在括号里更正了一下)：
Dear tiptoe:
Thank you for your interest in our work. As for your question, it is a very complicated one. I don't think any one has any definite answer to that. Similar situations have been a very hot topic in research community: is the person who actually comes up with the idea and does the work get the main credit, or the principle investigator who has the money and runs the lab get it. Each person should make their own judgement （ judgment ) independent of the media coverage as it is highly biased both territorially and racialy ( racially ). Personally I think some people in China is making too much fuss about it in my case. It was my work with some help from my coauthors. However, this work would be impossible without the utmost support from Jamie, who is the principle investigator of the lab, since this whole project was extremely expensive, and we interacted intellectually throughout the whole project. There's no point in assigning the credit for the sake of science. So I would suggest you please leave this issue alone. Life is better spent doing something useful.
And if you do indeed go to see my parents, please send my regards. I simply couldn't speak the dialect, hence can not talk to them anymore.
Best wishes.
Junying Yu
附：报道国外科研成果不应夸大中国留学生的贡献 ·方舟子·
但是美国的《科学》、英国的《自然》在报道这项成果时，都把它归到汤姆森名下，说它是“汤姆森及其同事”、“汤姆森领导的团队”做出的，在报道中只采访了汤姆森，没有采访俞君英，甚至连俞君英的名字都没有提到。科学报道较有水准的《纽约时报》详细报道了这一成果的前因后果，也只把它归功于汤姆森一人，而没有俞君英什么事。这是为什么呢？
俞君英乃是汤姆森实验室的一名研究助理，并非独立研究人员，而要接受汤姆森的指导。按照国际学术界的惯例，研究思路应该由汤姆森确立，而由俞君英完成主要实验，但是实验成果主要属于汤姆森，。。。
