Chapter 428

"Let's go in, too." Richard couldn't stand any longer. Taking advantage of the crowd, he dragged the student Connors into the small hall.

There will be few reports that can attract hundreds of people to listen to at one meeting. Many well-known students who have been assigned to a large conference hall may not attract hundreds of people when they make a speech.

Hundreds of people, in such an occasion, is not a small number.

Although it is an international conference with hundreds of people, its coverage is more than one hundred times larger than the literal number, and the most eye-catching reports often cause unexpected sensations.

As far as biology is concerned, there are more than one million scientific researchers in the world who focus on it. Pharmaceutical companies, universities at all levels and non-profit intergovernmental research institutions alone can fill in this figure. If we include doctoral students majoring in biology, this figure can be doubled.

However, there are not many professionals who can really be called scientific research experts and who are engaged in scientific research on the front line.

These are the people who decide the direction of scientific research.

For example, pharmaceutical companies, the world's top dozens of pharmaceutical companies have more than a thousand full-time researchers, but if we study carefully, are the full-time researchers in charge of technology and quality doing scientific research? In a narrow sense, it is not. Is the doctoral student in charge of scientific and technological information in the office a scientific researcher? In fact, it is no longer output.

Even in the laboratory, researchers and researchers are different. Some researchers' work is to study the drugs of other companies, some researchers' work is to compare the drugs of their own companies, and some researchers' work is to follow the orders of some researchers... Finally, researchers who are really doing research, A company may have only a few teams of about 100 people, and then remove the experimental dogs that don't count heads, that is, 30 or 50 people.

Among these 30 or 50 people, there are usually several people who make decisions, and these people are often the ones who ultimately decide the R & D direction of a 10 billion level pharmaceutical company.

Similarly, in a biological research institute with hundreds of people, there are about 100 people who can be called professionals, who are in charge of archives, logistics, office work, full-time management, and muddle along. Among these people, it is good to remove those who lack energy and experience and leave 30 or 50 people. Let's break it down a little bit. Those who are not able to apply for funds, those who are able to apply for funds but can't apply for them for various reasons will be removed. A scientific research institute with hundreds of people will have 20 or 30 people who did research seriously in those years.

The Institute of biology, whether it wants to or not, has to rely on these 20 or 30 people to develop something.

Of course, if they don't want to study things and just make a trip, they don't need to send a few hundred people together.

China's scientific research institutions are bloated, and European and American scientific research institutions will not be much streamlined.

It's really because the elimination rate of scientific research is too high.

Most people don't want to do it, but they can't do it anymore.

The harsh requirements of reality make the people who can really engage in scientific research must reach the degree of favorable time, place and people. First of all, you have to be willing to do scientific research. Second, you have the intelligence level to do scientific research. Third, you have to have the knowledge reserve to do scientific research.

Of course, most occupations are similar, but the requirements of scientific research are higher and more difficult to achieve.

Many children were willing to be scientists when they were young. It has been proved that if these children have the corresponding level of intelligence, they have a great chance to continue to dream. The so-called scientists are rich in wealth, respected by others, free to work, and full of sense of achievement... But unfortunately, only children who have proved that they are intelligent winners at every stage can continue this road.

Most of the children can't get 90 points in Mathematics in primary school, 90 points in physics in middle school, and have enough spare time in college, which has nothing to do with scientific research.

As a matter of fact, the undergraduates who are admitted to famous universities and want to do scientific research will not be able to do so in nine cases out of ten.

Because behind famous universities, there are famous masters, famous doctors and famous research dogs.

It's not bad for a researcher who only sticks to a famous undergraduate course and can enter a large company in related fields to do some application work; Researchers who stick to famous doctors may be able to enter research institutions in related fields and do some application work. But in the end, only those experimental dogs that have been nurtured by famous brand laboratories will have the foundation of innovation in the forefront of science and technology after they become adults.

It may sound like a long process for ordinary people, but in fact, most of the scientific elites have a smooth life. For example, Watson, a theological biologist in the 1980s, graduated from the University of Chicago in 1947 at the age of 19. Three years later, he got his doctorate, more than twice as fast as normal people. In 1953, he completed the theory of DNA double helix structure with Crick and published it in nature.In other words, Watson has graduated from University at the age of 19, while at the age of other students who graduated from University, Watson has graduated from doctor's degree and has gone to do experimental dogs. At the age of 25, which is the age when most people graduate from master's degree, Watson has published his thesis in nature, waiting for the Nobel Prize.

It can be imagined that when his peers sat for the college entrance examination, Watson would not be in a hurry. When his college classmates hesitated to go to graduate school or work, Watson didn't have to think about this. When his colleagues worked hard in the laboratory, Watson actually defeated Wilkins Laboratory of King's College London, It was Franklin's lab and Colin Pauling's lab at Caltech that won the Nobel Prize. More accurately, Watson did not really become a God, because he did not completely defeat Wilkins, but shared the Nobel Prize with Wilkins and his partner Crick.

In the ordinary scientific research world below the Nobel Prize, Richard's scientific research road is also quite smooth. Needless to say, he did not even meet any competitors. After entering the University, Richard was still the best on campus, and finally became a teacher in the top 10 University of California in the world, which proved that Richard was the top group in the field of biological sciences.

However, in the position of Professor, Richard encountered a strong challenge.

As the director of the laboratory, Richard's opponents are no longer his peers, classmates and colleagues, and not just a few experimental dogs in a laboratory. Richard's rivals are laboratories of universities, companies and research institutions all over the world.

And these laboratories will not be satisfied with a small paper, a little innovation, some small smart.

It's like the Cavendish lab, the Wilkins lab, the Franklin lab, and the Pauling lab in the '50s were targeting DNA structures at the same time. The first-class laboratories in every era, even the top laboratories, are focusing on the heavyweight hot spots in the forefront of science and technology.

However, there are only some heavyweight hot spots with depth, value and influence, which are just on the table waiting for researchers to decipher.

The result of being a world-class laboratory is eternal competition, competition and competition.

Richard did not dare to compete with the top laboratories, but even so, he often faced failure.

In some competitions, Richard is the winner, but in others, Richard is the loser.

Richard can't bear failure. He just lost to Yang Rui, a freshman at the Third World University. Richard can't bear it.

Not only he can't afford it, but neither can the University of California and investors.

"Let's stand back a little." Richard hid in the shadow, his brain was spinning fast, and his pencil seemed ready to record the mistakes in Yang Rui's speech.

Yang Rui's paper may be rigorous and self consistent, but in the following Q & a session, Richard did not believe that Yang Rui could be so rigorous and self consistent.

The paper can be written, revised and deliberated. The answers in the question and answer stage depend entirely on personal accumulation.

Yang Rui's age alone is enough for Richard to despise.

Yang Rui on the stage is also a little nervous.

The report meeting has always been a combination of risks and opportunities.

The so-called opportunity is an opportunity to become famous, especially this kind of report meeting with hundreds of people. It is very easy for a regional expert to become a world expert. In the industry, it means invitation from famous universities such as Harvard and Cambridge, or positions in various international organizations, if professional related, The temporary employment of some United Nations and even intercontinental organizations will enable a researcher to obtain rich and extensive research funds.

However, behind the praise, there may be criticism and indifference.

Not every report has a good result. If it is not answered by peers, a professional researcher may become a special joke, and then lose the source of research funds, or even lose the position he has obtained.

Sometimes, correct but too advanced remarks will still get merciless ridicule, which is what Yang Rui is most worried about.

Of course, the biggest result is indifference. The world is making progress every day, but the science and technology that can influence the world is not what we want to have. Sometimes, it will not be discovered.

There are all kinds of international conferences in the world every day, and only a few of them can cause topics and sensations.

For example, today's "International Conference on medicine and biology" has four or five reports at the same time, with an average of two hours per wave. There are more than 20 reports a day, and very few can be remembered.Most of the lecture meetings that are not full of people are just brushing their faces. There is no praise or criticism at all.

Yang Rui's start is good, but, looking at the crowd below, Yang Rui is still nervous.

These are real people in the industry, at least at the level of Professor Tang Jiong. Huang Mao, a future bull, has to use the name of "visiting" before his horns grow. Yang Rui's previous foundation is not very good. Now his head seems to be easier to use, and he has the advantage of foresight, which is not inferior to his peers, But also dare not despise the world.

In the eyes of the audience, Yang Rui's expression can't be more normal.

Chagav, who helped just now, said with a smile: "don't worry, and don't take it as a report meeting. It's like chatting with friends. Besides, it's not time yet. Maybe some scholars who care about your research are coming. Let's wait a moment. "

Yang Rui nodded a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry to let you wait in such a crowded environment..."

"It's not your fault, it's the organizing committee. Your papers have already been handed in. As a result, so many people are interested, but the organizing committee has only arranged a small hall for 50 people. This is because their judgment is too poor and their level is not enough." Chagav's vicious evaluation.

It was also because of chagav that many members of the organizing committee came here to listen to chagav's comments face to face, and their faces were not good-looking.

Other researchers were provoked unhappy, one after another scolded the organizing committee.

The members of the organizing committee were pale and blue, but they did not dare to say a word more. They are just members of the Standing Committee elected by the International Congress of medicine and biology. All registered members decide where they will go or stay. No member dares to offend the members.

After all, scholars can participate in the International Congress of medicine and biology, and they can also participate in the Congress of chemistry and biology. However, members of the organizing committee are not so well received.

The American who was the fuse was unlucky. As the tendency of one-sided comments was getting worse and worse, the chairman of the organizing committee came in a hurry. The first thing was to turn it off, but he didn't even say what he had been waiting for.

Then, the chairman announced: "we have vacated the main venue. Please move to the main venue to listen to the report. There are more than 200 seats there, which are enough to use."

At last, the chairman received applause.

After thanking him, Yang Rui left the small conference hall and went to the main venue.

This is a staircase like conference hall. Originally, only keynote speeches and important reports of a few well-known professors were arranged for Yang Rui, which was totally unexpected.

Huang Mao immediately ran to borrow the camera and took many photos for Yang Rui.

Speaking in the main conference hall is the most high-end face brushing scheme in international conferences.

In China with single information, this is equivalent to singers singing in Vienna and stars walking on the red carpet in Cannes.

As long as others don't know you're rubbing, the style will rub.
