This isn't the first instance of Jay Chou's influence reaching the scientific community.
这不是周杰伦的粉丝第一次出现在科学界了。
In 2020, Sun Zhixin, a postgraduate student at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, named a unique trilobite species dating back 500 million years as "Fantasia Bug," paying homage to the singer's second album. "Jay Chou's music has deeply influenced me. Naming it 'Fantasia' is a tribute to Jay Chou's imaginative and free-spirited musical style. I suppose it's a romantic gesture from a science enthusiast," said Sun.
据报道,2020年,中国科学院南京地质古生物研究所硕士研究生孙智新,把他发现的一种5亿年前的独特三叶虫命名为范特西虫。孙智新表示:“‘周董’的歌对我影响很大,这次用范特西命名,也是向周杰伦天马行空的音乐创作风格致敬,算是一种理科生的浪漫吧。”
