The academic circles in Beijing have made waves for Yang Rui's graduation defense.

Now it's past the time for serious graduation defense, but since Professor Cai proposed to invite people from outside the school to participate in Yang Rui's graduation defense, the discussion on this topic has never stopped.

Some people hope to participate in the graduation defense, so that they find Professor Cai in a relational way. Some people are unwilling to participate in the defense, so they have to use Euphemism to avoid misunderstanding.

Some media will also send a message on the position of the third and fourth editions, and talk about this topic incidentally. There were so many newspapers in the 1980s that there were more news websites than later generations. When we had a little bit of news, we discussed it endlessly. However, no one discussed whether we should let Yang Rui graduate ahead of time or make an extra defense, as if it were natural.

Peking University is no special organization.

If the graduation defense of ordinary students, of course, there are not so many Yao moths. Furthermore, even Yang Rui's graduation defense should not have so many Yao moths.

It was Yang Rui who presented his thesis on GPCR as his graduation thesis, which inevitably aroused all kinds of curiosity, discussion, worry and prying.

The G-protein-coupled receptor made by ion channel laboratory has long covered the reputation of biology. Not only has it covered the reputation of biology, but also because of the competition for the Nobel Prize, social media has achieved a high reputation. Now scholars review it and even question Yang Rui. Few people are confident.

Of course, there are always scholars who want to take a shortcut and try to take advantage of it. However, those who do not have enough rank and reputation will naturally be called back by Professor Cai.

For ordinary students, professors and associate professors do well in thesis defense, as well as lecturers. Teachers in local colleges and universities, no matter how poor their level is, have the same chance to be tutors to review graduation theses.

The graduation thesis of ordinary undergraduates is not easy to review. It basically belongs to the way of writing a thesis. There is no valuable thesis in a hundred, and it's OK to say more.

However, it is not so easy to sit in front of Yang Rui and listen to his thesis. As far as the scope of Professor Cai's invitation is concerned, it must be at least academician level.

Academician level scholars do not necessarily mean that they must be academicians. There are many academicians at home and abroad who can not be academicians. Some scholars are not well-known outside the circle, but they are well-known inside the circle.

After careful selection, Professor Cai took out the attitude that if you don't agree, you look down on others. Finally, he decided on four people, and then informed Yang Rui to participate in the graduation thesis defense.

The selection of school candidates all over the world also shocked the media, so that a reporter wanted to make a live video. As usual, he was rejected by Professor Cai.

In the second week, Professor Cai finally organized his defense, called Yang Rui again, pretended to be tired, and said, "if someone wants to graduate ahead of time in the future, I have to put him in the ordinary graduation class. Even this time, I'll open a small kitchen for you, and you'll give us a boost. "

"I've always been up for it." Yang Rui laughed twice.

"That's true. Who would have thought that you had conquered GPCR in just a few years." Professor Cai himself is a master of biology. He can better understand Yang Rui's achievements.

Yang Rui blew a bull and changed his steady attitude, saying: "if we can conquer, we still have to see the feedback from the academic community."

He drew the three-dimensional structure of GPCR, but is that really the case? Academic circles can still have doubts.

However, the three-dimensional structure of this volume can't be seen by the eyes. We can only see whether it conforms to the theory known at present. If it can fit 70% or 80%, or even 50% or 60%, it can be basically done.

As for the 100% fit, this is impossible. The three-dimensional structure of GPCR is not a mere gesture.

Professor Cai was very satisfied with Yang Rui's modesty and said with a smile, "although I don't know much about this field, I still believe in your achievements. There is no problem."

Members of the academic department should admit that they do not know much about this field, that is, the world's first-class and second-class scholars.

Yang Rui felt cool for a few seconds and asked, "who is this time? Shall I prepare in advance? "

Yang Rui is the first person in the world in terms of overall situation and details. He is not afraid of defense at all.

In addition to the insurance that Professor Cai and others did for him on that day, it is also conducive to defense.In another direction, Yang Rui may still be questioned. G protein coupled receptor is impossible. Anyone in the world who wants to do this has to go to the laboratory for at least another two or three years.

When Professor Cai saw that Yang Rui was confident, he also showed great confidence, and said to Yang Rui, "in addition to me, there is also Academician Wang Jianbo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Qian Zizhen of Tsinghua University, another one you know, president an Linhai."

"This lineup, the specification is high enough." What can Yang Rui say. Two academicians and two associate academicians, including top-level figures of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University and Tsinghua University, and an Linhai is the chairman of the project application Committee of the Ministry of health, which is more powerful than the general high-end achievement appraisal committee.

Professor Cai gave a mysterious smile: "high standard is good."

From his point of view, this is an achievement appraisal committee.

It's a nuisance to the little generation in academic circles to identify achievements. What's the matter? You have to approve what I make? This is not right. Other countries are recognized by time, by consumers, or at least by investors.

However, foreign high-end scholars, in fact, are envious of the Soviet style achievement appraisal evaluation mechanism. This kind of meeting, which brings everyone together, is very conducive to building prestige.

For example, if I do a high-end academic research in western countries, there will be all kinds of ridicule and speculation. Not everyone will seriously repeat the experiment. However, if the Soviet style achievement appraisal method is adopted, even if it is a formality, if you say good things, you will also say good things. After that, there will be less wrangling, and some good projects will be easy to promote.

Of course, the garbage project has passed, and it is also easy to promote.

Yang Rui is faced with the problem of awarding Nobel Prize. It is not appropriate for him to carry out the achievement appraisal in a big way. It is not good to misunderstand western scholars.

But if not, how can we unify our thinking?

Professor Cai's plan is to take advantage of the defense of graduation thesis.

In essence, the defense of graduation thesis and the operation mode of achievement appraisal committee are the same. According to the specification of thesis defense organized by Professor Cai, if these four passed, there will be no systematic criticism in domestic academic circles.

Professor Cai didn't care whether Yang Rui understood it or not. After giving him some advice, he went back by himself.

Three days later, Yang Rui appeared in the auditorium of Peking University.

In the auditorium where hundreds of people can sit, Yang Rui is alone, facing four professors sitting on the rostrum, and a reporter from the school newspaper, with a camera in his side and sketch paper in front of him.

Yang Rui takes a deep breath and is ready to start explaining his thesis.
