Chapter 506

"77 times a month." Professor Cai looked at the "new moon summary" dumbfounded: "we are all working hard to explore the function of potassium channel."

"Of course, I have to go all out. The next paper on potassium channel function has almost reserved the position of top journals. As far as I know, science and nature are contacting well-known laboratories, hoping to get a repetitive paper." President Liu's Turkey smile is full of symbolism. The soft meat of his loose throat shakes to and fro, which makes people feel his pride.

Professor Cai chuckled twice and said, "the second one can still go to CNS. What about the third one?"

"As long as the new channel function is attractive, CNS will not insist on it. Novelty is not a standard for potassium channel or aspirin." Aspirin is an old drug that has been invented for 100 years. From time to time, it will be re published in top journals because of some new discoveries.

In the same way, potassium channel has various functions. If it is an important function, it will have the chance to be listed in the top journals.

Of course, it's beyond the scope of Yang Rui's paper to further study the function of potassium channel itself, but this is the case with top journals, and it's also indispensable to cite.

Professor Cai didn't think about the situation carefully. He couldn't help nodding his head and said, "it's really a chance for you to say that. No wonder so many laboratories are involved. "

"If everyone is competing for the second place, it's said that there are two or three well-known laboratories involved in the research, so they should give up."

"Yes, it means that everyone has seen new hot spots... Well, those who publish papers now should be those who retreat because of difficulties. If they have dates, they can print them first. If they can publish them, it means that foreign periodicals also like to keep up with the fashion."

President Liu laughs.

Professor Cai picked up several well-known periodicals and read them. After a while, his expression became more serious and said, "imperialism will never die."

"Ah?" President Liu was not sure whether he was telling a joke or talking seriously.

Professor Cai snorted. He didn't have a smiling face, but he waved his hand in anger. He said: "several authors have repeated Yang Rui's experiment, but they haven't found a suitable mutant gene. They are complaining here."

"What are you complaining about?" President Liu's Turkey laughs away, the paper does not say every word, at least to consider every word, no paper can complain.

Professor Cai curled his lips and said, "isn't it true that no one can repeat the experiment now? They're holding on. "

"No one has repeated it yet?" President Liu repeated that he is not as relaxed as Professor Cai.

Scientific experiments can be repeated. If there are unshakable foundations of human civilization, that's it.

Two balls hit the ground at the same time, don't you believe it? You stand under the building and watch me jump.

Mirage is a distortion of light, don't you believe it? You look up.

Ancient family prescription for cancer? Give me a chestnut, another chestnut, another chestnut. Thank you. Please keep your arrest warrant.

Of course, it takes time to repeat the experiment.

Now the Japanese beauty scientist Aobao fangqingko, who has been regarded as the standard example of paper fraud, is falling on the problem that the experiment cannot be repeated.

Before that, Japan praised Kobayashi a lot. It's impolite to say that if her research becomes a reality, she won't be able to win the Nobel Prize, but it's not difficult to make one or two nominations. Because of Japan's social inertia, in another 20 or 30 years, she may be given a nomination like education minister, if she is interested in politics.

However, everything falls on the problem that the paper cannot be repeated.

And before Xiaobao Fang Qingzi, every year someone fell down for the same reason, just like cutting leeks.

Professor Cai thought over Yang Rui's paper again and said, "I haven't heard of the completely repeated experiment, but his paper is very clear logically. I don't think it's a big problem."

"Well, there should be no problem." Dean Liu laughed twice, as if to comfort himself or professor Cai.

Professor Cai is calm and his good mood is gone.

Yang Rui's experiment on potassium channel is smooth and graceful in logic. The only problem is the selection of mutant gene.

Looking for mutant genes requires a certain element of luck. In other words, if you do more, you will be able to do it naturally.

For example, the gene expression of SLO channel found in Yang Rui's paper is a 10 fold increase in electrical conductivity.

This expression is not easy to detect. What's more, the mutant gene must change the expression of this gene, so as to find the change.In general, the experiment designed by Yang Rui is a set of experiments that need time and money. It takes enough time and money, and it is likely to make a result in the end. It is also because of this logic that many foreign laboratories are attracted to participate. They are not afraid of spending money and time. What they are afraid of is the risk of nothing.

However, no one can say how long and how much money is enough before the results of the experiment are made.

So, will Yang Rui make false papers because he saves time or money?

Professor Cai doesn't want to think like this, but it's not without precedent that those talented young people with bright future suddenly cheat seemingly incomprehensible.

The cruelty of scientific research makes young people in this field, like soldiers charging for machine gun positions, only a few lucky people can cross the long beach, win awards and become officers. Those who have bad luck, or who do not stay ahead, will be eliminated as a result.

If time is tight, if money is tight, researchers have to make a decision in a dilemma.

Professor Cai thought of this, shook his head, said: "we still have to support Yang Rui, first don't think. Now there are so many people quoting Yang Rui's papers, and there are many famous people in the field of biology. It can't be said that so many people are blind. Now it's only more than a month. It's strange that repeated experiments can't be done. Yang Rui did it for more than half a year. "

"So it is." Liu Yuanchang touched his head with a smile: "I think too much."

"That's why I said that imperialism will never die. If we have some powerful papers and scholars coming out, they will say strange things." This is what Professor Cai said, but there are still clouds in his mind.

After a while, Professor Cai said, "isn't there anyone in our college who is doing this subject? You care about it, see what's going on, and see if there's anything we need to support. "

President Liu understood: "I will ask tomorrow."

After a pause, President Liu asked again, "how do you say about quoting awards?"

"Put it first..." Professor Cai hesitated and said, "I'll go to Lao Tang's lab tomorrow and have a look."

It's also a good choice to learn about Yang Rui's new research.
