Chapter 1307

Why does X-ray win the Nobel Prize? Why did de Broglie win the Nobel Prize? Even why PCR in history won the Nobel Prize was related to the public opinion environment at that time.

Of course, this is not to say that a person's Nobel Prize comes from publicity - the number of Nobel prizes is too small. As a result, every scholar and research achievement who has won the Nobel Prize can be said to be of extraordinary value. But why do they win the Nobel Prize, rather than other people who are equally extraordinary? There are countless variables.

The biggest variable, in the final analysis, is the role of people.

When a winner has an advantage in the public opinion environment, he is more likely to win the Nobel Prize.

This is reflected not only in the jury, but also in the nominators.

Although the number of nominees has never been mentioned in the Nobel Prize, from a practical point of view, the more nominees the scholars get, there is no doubt that they will be more likely to win the Nobel Prize.

The nominees, whether they are professors of Caroline Medical College, former Nobel laureates or invited professors from many universities around the world, are inevitably influenced by public opinion.

Yang Rui didn't need to give a detailed description to Cao Da, but he said roughly that Ambassador Cao, who had studied by himself, understood it and said, "so you want to get publicity in Sweden?"

"It's better to publicize all over the world. If you can't, it can only be done in Sweden." Yang Rui is helpless. In order to promote PCR, the company spent two years to hold all kinds of seminars on PCR all over the world.

It can be said that no one in the world's laboratories and scholars in related fields does not know that muris did PCR.

During the most noisy period, if you attend any international conference on biology or forum on pharmaceutical industry, you will hear PCR and muris.

In the early 1990s, whenever a scholar started the PCR machine, he thought of the name of muris. Such propaganda is extremely terrible.

However, when Yang Rui first completed PCR, he did not have such conditions.

On the one hand, he hopes to do more scientific research than propaganda. On the other hand, Yang Rui's Chinese identity is not the type that sales companies are willing to support.

It's a transparent ceiling. You can't fly up like a white man. You have to use your strength to break it.

Moreover, it is quite difficult for Yang Rui to raise such resources, and the cost will only be higher.

No matter what Yang Rui thought, Cao da just frowned at Yang Rui's request and said, "it's not a small matter whether it's global or Swedish. Do you have a plan? "

"I have several, but I don't know which one is more suitable." Naturally, Yang Rui thought it over carefully. At this time, he said: "the first is the most basic. I can associate PCR with human genome project. Human genome project can be said to be a super moon landing project, which is very promising. PCR is one of the core technologies..."

After hearing this, Cao Da asked, "what about the second one?"

"I don't think it's appropriate?" Yang Rui recognized that he was not optimistic.

Cao Da nodded with a smile and said, "after all, the human genome project you mentioned is different from the moon landing project. We all know that the moon landing project is to go to the moon. If we can figure it out, the gene is not so clear, let alone PCR is just one of the technologies."

"Then give up the plan." Yang Rui didn't mean to hang here either, saying: "second, you can use the celebrity effect. PCR can accurately detect the blood relationship, whether father and son or brother, there is no problem, find a suitable celebrity, should be able to create a news

Cao Da didn't quite understand and asked, "is it just testing the relationship between father and son? Brotherhood? "

"It's almost the same. Paternity testing or something can determine the blood relationship of two people 100 percent, which is more accurate than blood identification and blood type testing." Yang Rui said, patting his head: "by the way, if necessary, we can also fund archaeology. As far as I know, some scholars are studying the tomb of the last czar in Russia. Through PCR technology, we can confirm whether the body in the tomb is the real last czar. They have doubts about this at present, which should be regarded as big news. "

At least, this is a news that can be broadcast on China news.

Cao Da asked curiously: "how to confirm?"

"It's the best way to find the biological heritage left by the tsar, and you can make certain judgments through your descendants." Yang Rui didn't say it all. In history, when the last tsar was the crown prince, he visited Japan and was stabbed. The samurai sword that stabbed him is still well preserved in Tokyo. As long as the blood on it is extracted, we can judge whether the last Tsar really lies in the tomb.This is originally a good example of the use of PCR. Sweden and the Soviet Union are bordering on each other, and they all have the desire to understand each other. Even if such news can't spread all over the world, it must have a certain influence in Sweden.

Cao Da said slowly: "if there's no better way, it's a move, but..."

"But?"

"It's not very safe." Cao Da said: "I don't know what you mean by biological heritage, but archaeology itself is not very stable. If something goes wrong, it's too late for you to think of other ways."

"It's a problem." Yang Rui took a sip of wine.

Cao Da asked again, "do you have any other ideas?"

"You can also do crime scene investigation and so on. It's the same as archaeology." Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said: "just like fingerprints are a person's marks, DNA is even more so. PCR can test DNA very easily, so it is used for criminal investigation, which is a very common use..."

"This is good!" However, Cao Da's idea is quite different from Yang Rui's. His voice has been raised by 20% and then dropped down, saying: "that is to say, PCR can solve cases, right?"

"Of course."

"What are the requirements?"

"If the criminal leaves biological clues, such as hair, blood, saliva and so on, they can be used for comparison. Like fingerprints, if you find a suspect, the same DNA is a person. " Yang Rui said it easily.

In fact, it's really easy.

Later generations will pull anyone out to know that DNA should not be left when committing crimes, but in the 1980s, no one knew that.

So, it's like fingerprints can be used to catch a lot of criminals when they come out.

The newly released DNA basically belongs to artifact level.

Hearing this, Cao Da said, "it's not very useful. I think it's good. If we can catch a criminal who has committed a heinous crime, plus the explanation of advanced technology, Europeans will be very concerned about such news."

Yang Rui nodded slowly and said, "then we need to find a suitable case."

"It's easy. I'll introduce the Swedish police chief to you." Cao Da called a staff member to come over and asked him to point out the position of the director, and then he took Yang Rui.

Yang Rui only hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

Criminal cases in developed countries in Europe and the United States are very easy to make big news. Simpson's wife killing case emerges in an endless stream. Serial killers are more frequent customers in European and American TV stations, from Jack the ripper to Breivik, who lives in a luxury prison in Norway. They often appear in the news and even in movies.

Although it sounds rather superficial, neither the academic nature of archaeology nor the height of the human genome project, the news in Europe and the United States is so superficial that there is no way.
