   No one repeats Yang Rui's paper on potassium channels, which is always a thorn in Professor Cai's heart.

  

Yang Rui is really too young, and the temptation of CELL is really too great. On the long and lonely mountain road of scientific research, there are too many people who cannot bear the hardship or the temptation. There are too many people, no one can. Ensure that the thesis will not be falsified.

  

   may not be a full-scale fraud-this kind of fraud is also easy to identify. The most hidden dangers are the big truths and the small fakes.

  

Any groundbreaking paper, even just a small paper, may have hundreds of key points, some of which are so small that ordinary people can't even imagine them, such as whether the small box of the experiment object in the instrument should be flat or round. The bottom? The difference cannot be smaller, but the result will be very different.

  

  If the project fails to break through the key points for a long time, or there are deficiencies in funding and other aspects, the temptation to cheat is greatly enhanced.

  

   Yang Rui’s thesis on potassium channels is designed clearly and logically. This is an advantage, but has he broken all the key points in half a year? No one knows.

  

  Professor Tsai is a scholar, using the vocabulary that the young man likes, he is a scientist. Scientists talk about science and reason, and are not easy to use emotions.

  

   The only way to prove Yang Rui is to repeat the experiment.

  

   The more excellent repeated experiments, the more repeated experiments, is a stronger proof than the paper itself.

  

   The repeated experiments on potassium channels did make Professor Cai wait for a long time.

  

   Of course, in terms of absolute time, it is not long. If it is a non-hot paper, sometimes there is no repeated experiment at all. Even if there is, it is not surprising that it is delayed by a few years.

  

   Yang Rui's paper is extremely novel, so that someone rushes to do repeated experiments, but this thing kills time, and it is also incredibly slow to cut meat with a dull knife.

  

   can make it now, Yang Rui is also pleasantly surprised, asking: "has it been published? Where is it?"

  

   "It's still published on "CELL", a 17-page long article." Professor Cai laughed, and added: "It can only be on CELL. The design is basically the same as yours."

  

   Professor Cai said and laughed.

  

   Someone was listening to their conversation a long time ago. At this time, someone came over to congratulate Yang Rui unconsciously: "The repeated experiments have been published on CELL, and your next paper will definitely be on CELL."

  

   "Thank you." Yang Rui couldn't argue with them about the privacy of the conversation without hitting the smiling faces.

  

   People basically didn't have this concept in the 1980s. You were arguing in the bedroom, and someone used a glass against the wall to eavesdrop. The next morning, they had a united front with you: Your wife said something wrong last night.

  

   Yang Rui still faced Professor Cai and asked: "You can only publish on CELL. The design is the same..."

  

   "The basic experimental design is the same, but the gene expression they found is different from yours, so I can only publish it on CELL, and CNS also has competition."

  

   The editors of "Nature" and "Science" are unwilling to publish non-original papers published by CELL. They are very natural and scientific.

  

   Speaking of, the three top journals are very arrogant, or in other words, most of the top journals are very arrogant, because there are too many submissions and too much choice, and there will be a tendency of perfectionism.

  

   Therefore, rejection of a manuscript by CNS is not necessarily due to a bad paper. It may just be the dignity of the journal.

  

Potassium channels are a research hotspot in the biological world. If there are changes or important conclusions are discovered, Nature and Science will probably not stick to their own opinions, but papers of the same design can basically only be listed on CELL. After all, it is the aforementioned paper published by my own home.

  

   Yang Rui had no experience of publishing top journals before, but he understood it once he thought about it. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Do foreigners love face."

  

   "Who doesn't love face. However, you are indeed fighting for face for our Department of Biology and Peking University." Professor Cai was in a good mood and he did not hesitate to praise him.

  

   "Are there any rewards?" I heard that there were repetitive papers. Although it was confirmed that there was a day, Yang Rui also lost a lot of pressure.

  

   Professor Cai laughed, but he said: "Coca-Cola has not given you enough benefits?"

  

   "It cost tens of thousands of dollars." Yang Rui didn't hide it, just a look of income from labor.

  

   "The school should really consider giving you rewards." Professor Cai is not talking about the biology department, but the school.

  

   Yang Rui couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect Professor Cai to talk so well.

  

   A few hours later, after seeing the article in the latest issue of "CELL", Yang Rui understood why.

  

   It was Hopkins University who did the potassium channel repeat experiment.

  

   If Harvard University is the big brother in the field of education, Hopkins University is the big brother in the field of research.

  

As the first research university in the United States, Hopkins University has been the most invested in research funding in the United States for 33 consecutive years. Of course, its output is also amazing. Dozens of Nobel Prize winners just represent it. The most terrifying part of it, with more than 3,000 faculty and staff at the cutting-edge level, aiming at research and working hard to move forward.

  

It is unceremonious to say that it is just a Hopkins University. Its research strength in the 1980s surpassed that of a third world country. For example, Malaysia in the 1980s had the level of scientists of its National Academy of Sciences. It is not as good as the level of second-line professors at Hopkins University, and its research funding, paper output, number of patent applications, awards, etc. are also inferior to Hopkins University.

  

If it is in the private sector, many people may not know or care about the existence of Hopkins University, but in the field of research, especially in the strong research fields of Hopkins University, such as medicine, health and biology, But there are countless people paying attention to its every move.

  

   A professor at Hopkins University repeated Yang Rui’s paper and published it on "CELL". This news is no less than a rich and colorful award.

  

   "Our rewards should also be honored." At the school-level meeting, Professor Cai was energetic.

  

  This semester is definitely a semester of great success for the Department of Biology.

  

   The leaders of the other departments have nothing to say. The Hopkins University recognized Yang Rui's thesis, and they did not have sufficient reason to prevent Professor Cai from attacking.

  

   took the opportunity to show off a few words, and after two more gossips, Professor Cai coughed and said, "I have a proposal, please discuss it."

  

   "Students from the Department of Biology, decide for themselves in the Department of Biology."

  

"School-level laboratory, our Department of Biology can't make a decision on its own." Professor Cai said with a smile: "I decided to give Yang Rui a separate independent laboratory before. It has been so procrastinated, but now it should be fulfilled. "

  

   "School-level laboratory? Is it necessary?" The Department of Physics has always been consuming resources, and the competition for resources is also quite active.

  

Professor Cai said solemnly: "It is necessary. Yang Rui’s research group is now hanging under the Tang Central Laboratory. If someone goes to the laboratory building, you can see that under the brand of Tang’s laboratory, there is now the University of Tokyo in Japan. As well as the brand of the cooperative laboratory of Stanford University in the United States, the brand of our school-level laboratory is better than the brands of East University and Stanford University? I don't think it is enough."

  

   Before, Professor Cai didn't dare to fight like this. He was waiting for feedback from Yang Rui's thesis.

  

   This has always been the case in the academic world. Everyone has the habit of waiting for proof from the Nobel Prize to the appraisal of job titles.

  

   Even if the proof comes, not everyone can be rewarded.

  

  , that is, Yang Rui published a top-level journal, which received additional attention.

  

   The principal considered for a moment, and said, "Do you want to increase funding for school-level laboratories?"

  

   Professor Cai said: "Yes, initially it can be 180,000 yuan a year."

  

  200,000 is too stimulating. He reduced it by 20,000. This money is the basic fund to be given every year. The so-called school-level laboratory is for the school to provide funds. If it is upgraded and become a provincial laboratory, the province will give more money, but the school’s money will generally not be less; if it is a ministerial laboratory, which ministries and commissions give the brand, which ministries will pay again If you go to a national-level laboratory, such as Tang Central’s application now, the central government’s annual allocation will exceed one million, and it will increase year by year, and the school’s support cannot be less.

  

   University and scientific research are such a behemoth that swallows gold, and it never stops. It can be said that this is an industry that does not pay enough money.

  

   The principal said noncommittal: "There is not much left in this year's construction budget."

  

   Professor Cai smiled and said: "We are going to rebuild an old warehouse. In addition, we can use a little money to accumulate, and we can get it in total. The school will give us another two or three hundred thousand."

  

This is a necessary expenditure for a newly opened laboratory, but it is definitely an additional expenditure. The director of the Physics Department listened anxiously and said: "If your biology department wants to be a laboratory, you do it. If you want the school to pay, you just wait This fiscal year is over and we will do it next year!"

  

He started, and someone immediately followed: "It's better to set up the laboratory frame first, and wait until next year’s review is over, we can save it and then grade it. Then the school level will be the school level, and the province level will be the provincial level. ."

  

   "That won't work, it's not graded, how can I determine the frame of the laboratory?" Professor Cai didn't give him a chance to trick him.

  

   In China, rank is a very important identification code, just like military rank in the army. The rank may not be 100% accurate, but its accuracy is definitely more than 50%.

  

Although the school-level laboratory is a very low-level laboratory, its meaning is different. Especially the school-level laboratory of Peking University can fool a bunch of people, its basic equipment and other conditions. It can also be guaranteed. If it is done well, it can also move along the provincial and ministerial-level laboratories, core laboratories, and national-level laboratories.

  

If there is no such "school-level" prefix, this independent laboratory will not be much different from the laboratory of a certain city or county, or a certain middle school in essence, and it does not even have the qualifications to evaluate the advanced laboratory. .

  

   In other words, whether there is a school-level prefix means whether the laboratory has growth potential.

  

   The principal was silent.

  

   Seeing this, others hurriedly said: "The reward is the reward, but Yang Rui is not a teacher at our school, and there is no organization. Let him host a school-level laboratory independently. What's the matter? The above may be rejected."

  

   "You said Yang Rui is not our school's teacher, someone from Hopkins University, but you don't think so." Professor Cai would not be full of confidence if he had not prepared a killer.

  

While speaking, Professor Cai opened the briefcase and said: “As for Hopkins University, the research team that repeated the potassium channel experiment came to me a letter praising Peking University and Yang Rui. I made a few copies and gave it to you. Everyone take a look."

  

   What he took out was a thick stack of dozens of copies, which made people smell strong and show off.

  

   is indeed worth showing off.

  

   Because this is a text message full of positive energy and full of praise.

  

   A total of 4 people in the Hopkins University research team, after expounding their original intention to repeat the experiment, they just spoke nicely.

  

   A purely handwritten letter of compliment, hundreds of words, all good and admirable.

  

They praised the logic and ingenuity of the experiment designed by Yang Rui, calling it "a subtle experiment comparable to Cavendish's twisting scale"; they also praised the rigor and fault tolerance of Yang Rui's experiment, claiming to have obtained similarities and even the same many times. As a result, while complaining about "interfering with our experiment" ~lightnovelpub.net~ and thanking Yang Rui that there are not many laboratory personnel, otherwise "it would make our experiment meaningless"; finally, the corresponding author of the paper Wallaceton, a tenured professor at Hopkins University, praised Peking University again, calling it "a first-class university that has cultivated first-class scholars"!

  

  Professor Tsai feels that his vanity is the greatest degree of satisfaction. Looking at other people's expressions, everything that you can understand is about the same satisfaction. If you don't understand, you have to look at other people's expressions and pretend to be satisfied.

  

   Thank you letter from Johns Hopkins University in the United States. For the gentlemen of Peking University, there is no better recognition.

  

   Comrade Principal also shook his head and looked at the way his eyeballs turned, obviously watching him more than once.

  

   "Yang Rui's experiment is very difficult." After the principal was satisfied, he began to explore the story behind the thank-you letter.

  

Professor Cai smiled and said: "It is very difficult. The Hopkins University research team should have designed a new method. As a result, the new method encountered too many problems. In order to catch up with the progress and compete for second place, they finally had to Yang Rui’s plan was fully adopted."

  

   exclaimed and chuckles, coincidentally sounded.
