【短评】 我们在这里之所以推介湖北的做法，是因为湖北，既考虑了当前又虑及了长远。瞧，对于能转化的成 果，像抢收麦子一样，争分夺秒；而对于一时不能产生效益的"冷门"，只要对未来有用，也倾全力支 持。 我们知道，科学研究特别是基础研究，很多并不能马上转化为现实生产力，但它们对未来发展却至关重 要。你想，没有当年湖北科研人对光电子技术的孜矻攻关，哪有今天"世界光谷"的辉煌璀璨？ 当然，守"冷门"，坐"冷板凳"，是要有些定力的，要耐得住寂寞，不为一时风光遮望眼。 作者：刘茜 《光明日报》（2025年12月22日 01版） 创新之于发展的重要性，不知道的人恐怕不多。抓创新，应该说，各地都会采取措施。 [ 责编：姜姝琪 ] 这让人想起一道湖北菜——藕汤。做藕汤，藕要粉，汤要浓，心浮气躁了可不行！抓创新也是如此，只 有今天沉下心来"煨一锅好汤"，才可能明天需要时"端一席盛宴"。 "为未来30年布局。"听听，多提气！ ...
