Chapter 605

"Yang Rui? Who do you know? " Professor lasqual looked at Evans with a smile, thinking that he was the one to speak.

Evans was stunned for a moment, responded and said with a smile, "I was just lobbied by him, and I wrote a good paper. By the way, he wrote the paper on potassium channels, cell in previous issues. "

Professor lasqual may not be able to remember the name of the person, but he knows the paper at once.

Of course, it can't be any paper, it must be influential or characteristic.

For these people, although they have to read papers every day, it is impossible to read every paper. Generally speaking, the hot papers will at least understand, and the cutting-edge papers will probably look at the papers in their own fields.

For the papers published in the top journals of CNS, they will at least understand the power of CNS. In fact, the total number of papers that can be published by CNS every year is quite a few, but compared with a subdivision field, it is very few. For example, Professor lasqual has been engaged in molecular genetics all his life, which is only a very small branch of biology. In this field, the number of papers that can be published by CNS every year will not be much. A few papers can be regarded as high-yield, but the big ones that can publish papers in CNS all the year round, Naturally, I will brush my face until everyone knows me.

It's like watching the news broadcast for 30 minutes every day. How many days can people watch the news broadcast once in the province? How many days can it be the city's turn again? How many days can it be the county's turn again?

In just a few months, the number of citations of Yang Rui's papers published on cell has reached several hundred. This scale means that hundreds of people have read them, and this year's new work will naturally leave a deep impression on people in this field.

Professor lasqual was interested and said, "is this his new achievement? A little invention? "

"If it is as perfect as he said, I think it will be a good achievement." Evans then added: "if it can achieve 50% of the effect he said, I think it will be very interesting. At least, it will have a good application in DNA probes."

In the era of exaggeration, Evans obviously discounted Yang Rui's description in his heart. Nevertheless, he thought it was still a recommended technology.

What's more, it's also a productivity tool that can improve efficiency.

"Oh? I haven't read it yet... "Said Professor rasqual, picking up the document beside the instrument and reading it.

In fact, as far as the text is concerned, PCR technology is not surprising.

However, it is a typical technology that can create and grow by itself. It is not a technology to solve a special problem, but its existence provides opportunities to solve more problems.

At this point, PCR technology is much like a computer. The emergence of the computer may be purely for calculation, it does not solve the problem of calculation, however, when people from all walks of life understand the computer, its role instantly expanded.

The same is true of networks. At first, the purpose of the network is to connect several computers, and then to connect some military computers. However, when it began to be used for civilian purposes, the energy generated by the IT industry was beyond the imagination of the founders.

Of course, compared with the whole world, the scope of computer application is more extensive, followed by the network.

However, in the biological era, the revolutionary significance of PCR is no less than the emergence of computers, but before more talents understand and use it, the value of PCR has not been fully played out.

Professor lasqual can't read the future from the words, so he read Yang Rui's paper flatly, looked at Yang Rui's explanation again, and said with a smile: "it's very interesting. It's a very simple principle. No one has done it before?"

"No, he did." Professor Evans thought for a moment and said, "he shouldn't lie at this point."

This is also based on Yang Rui's academic reputation. Cell is Yang Rui's academic reputation. Without the previous "cell", he has no basis for dialogue at all. With this "cell", scholars all over the world think that Yang Rui is at least a peer, and their trust in him is greatly increased.

Professor lasqual nodded in agreement, beckoned a student, pointed to the DNA analyzer on the desktop, and said, "try this. There are instructions in it. I'll see the results later."

The student agreed, sat down at the experimental table and began to read the instructions.

Instead of waiting there, Professor lasqual and Professor Evans continued to chat and visit lasqual's lab together to discuss their work. It was also a rare opportunity for them.

Professor lasqual is also a third-class professor. Although there are few scholars of this level in China, there are many in the United States. The number of Ivy League chair professors at Columbia University is almost the third-class reputation level.Naturally, the scale of Professor lasqual's molecular genetics laboratory is not small. Similar to the academic circles in China, Professor lasqual has been expanding his laboratory since he started to run it independently in his thirties. His funding has increased from several hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars every year, at least half of which has been invested in this molecular genetics laboratory.

Today, there are more than ten doctoral and graduate students under Professor lasqual. In addition, there are also doctoral students who can not find a job, six students commonly known as postdoctoral students, and eight full-time researchers.

A team of nearly 30 people is already a first-class team in the academic world. No matter how many people there are, they will have to be divided. In fact, at the present scale, in addition to the students, the remaining postdoctoral and full-time researchers also have their own projects. There are more than 10 research groups running more than 20 projects, which is spectacular.

Although Duke University, where Professor Evans is located, is also one of several universities in the United States, North Carolina, where Duke University is located, is not as rich as New York, where Columbia University is located. Evans can only envy professor lasqual's laboratory and take the opportunity to get to know a few famous and unknown instruments.

For both of them, it was a rare enjoyment in the meeting.

In fact, not only do they enjoy the temporary absence, many local scholars enjoy it.

Only in this kind of conference can a group of scholars have free time. At other times, even when you are in the local area, the other party may be busy doing experiments.

By dinnertime, Professor lasqual's guests had grown to five. They occupied a large area of the restaurant downstairs, drinking and chatting happily, like a small salon.

Upstairs.

The students who were caught by Professor lasqual were doing the experiment conscientiously.

The conditions of a first-class laboratory are very good, and students can also get excellent training that is unimaginable in the third world countries. Basically, after finishing their doctorate in lasqual laboratory and getting PhD, they already have the experimental ability of the world-class level. What degree they can achieve after that belongs to personal opportunities and efforts.

However, if you work in a first-class laboratory, your vision will be different after graduation.

If you can finish a paper on CNS during your study, it goes without saying that you can still enter the first-class laboratory after graduation. If it can't reach the level of CNS, it's no problem to reduce it by one level.

But if we want to go down two levels, we need good luck in addition to quantity.

However, no one wants to count on good luck for the rest of his life.

Every student who wants to come out of the first-class laboratory has to go all out again.

Even so, it's not easy to stand out from the best peers around.

The students who are caught are not relaxed because of the independence of the experimental content. This is the experiment prescribed by the boss himself, which is also a rare opportunity for him.

The water bath pan was blazing on the experimental table.

The students read the instructions and then read Yang Rui's paper. He did not choose special DNA to replicate, but according to the selection in Yang Rui's paper, he started the repeated experiment in a straight line.

He was not optimistic about the experiment.

"It's too simple." The students disdain the papers from abroad.

"If you can copy the DNA you want in this way, people are not crazy." While the students smile and shake their heads, they continue to prepare the materials. Because the experiment is easy to do, he is going to do several repeated experiments to compare.

Easy to do is the feature of the first version of PCR instrument, but in the eyes of researchers, easy to do is often equated with mature.

Mature products are often not excellent scientific research achievements.

The students have some thoughts to prove the original author's mistake, which naturally makes it easier for him to show his ability.

The students went to find some more books, looking up and demonstrating at the same time.

Although they didn't find the answer immediately, the students were quite confident: "if the replication of DNA is so simple, the predecessors must have done it. It's natural to extend the idea... Well, since the predecessors didn't do it, there must be something wrong. There is no solution in his paper, There must be something wrong with the experiment... "

Time goes by.

It's getting dark.

The salon downstairs has also changed from a dinner party to a reception, and scholars' discussions have gradually shifted from academic discussions to their own lives, school experiences, and social disputes.

"AhIt was the best time for the atmosphere, but suddenly there was a shrill cry from upstairs.

Professor lasqual darted up.

The most likely case of howling in a biological laboratory is an experimental accident.

Although it's not as easy to explode as a chemical laboratory, corrosive liquids, corrosive gases, toxic liquids, toxic gases, toxic solids, bacteria, lethal microorganisms, high-temperature steam, and harmful residues can all harm the body of scientific apes

Professor lasqual prayed silently and ran up the stairs with unmatched agility.

The others put down their glasses and followed.
