Chapter 1368

"Houston, didn't you go to lunch?"

"I have something with me." Houston gave a smile, but there wasn't much on his face.

"A little nervous?" His Swedish colleagues used a tone of obvious ridicule, which is rare among Swedes.

Houston finally realized the difference, turned around and said, "Hosen, is there anything I should know?"

"I heard it by accident, too." First of all, Hosen made a breakthrough.

Houston is a person who has been in contact with scientists all the year round. As soon as he listens to Hosen's hesitation, he knows that there is a situation. These guys, including himself, are not people who can hide their inner feelings.

"Hosen, what I need most now is information." Houston looked at his tall Swedish colleague and said, "I owe you one."

It's a standard sentence in an American movie, but it's very popular with Hosen.

Hesitating a little, he said, "they're in a stalemate."

"They? Who is it? " Houston is not sure.

"Who else could it be, the Nobel Committee?" he said with a smile

"Biological?" Houston was startled and his brain turned uncontrollably.

His hands tremble a little, like the ancestors of millions of years ago who met the fierce hunter.

As a Swede, a Swedish scientist, and a very enterprising Swedish scientist in Nobel Prize affairs, Houston is extremely sensitive to any related issues.

For example, there is a deadlock.

Houston can't even tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

In fact, few people can make an accurate judgment.

There are a lot of deadlocks in the Nobel Committee. A five member committee often takes a long time to discuss before it can vote on a scholar, and the result of voting does not always lead to winners - abstainers and opponents.

Recommended, approved, abandoned... The five member Nobel Prize Committee's annual dramas are enough to make blockbusters for several years.

Even after the five member committee, the grand panel of the Swedish Academy of Sciences will not make things easy.

They always like to deny the scientists chosen by the Committee.

This multi member committee is mainly composed of members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For example, the physics prize is composed of members of the Physics Faculty of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. This can explain why Bohr was able to cover up the sky at that time. The Academy with him would almost veto all the scientists who did not meet his wishes. It's not entirely selfish, but you can imagine that you are biased against quantum theory, and you will encounter many obstacles if you want to win the Nobel Prize.

Of course, there are only a few top scholars in the world like Bohr. As long as there are no top-ranking scientists who have lived for a long time in the three countries, the scientists of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences can do things impartially.

Here, justice means that I only recognize the scientists I recognize.

So the question is, will the scientists sent by the five member committee please everyone? Of course not.

The Academy of Sciences of any country is the epitome of the world's scientific research community. If someone agrees with one theory, there will be another.

It's rare that a theory appears and everyone worships it. Even in the field of mathematics, where Huashan is the most likely way to appear, it's hard for anyone to get away with it. It's not true that there are no outstanding people, but what if other people just don't recognize your excellence.

Even if you are so accomplished in mathematics that you can prove a super formula, you can't do it without hundreds of pages of proof.

There are also many problems in the field of natural science, such as Darwin's theory of evolution. At that time, the discussion aroused uproar on half of the European continent, and finally defeated Lamarck's "use in advance, discard in retreat", which can be called the war of the century. However, after a hundred years, who can think of the latest biological research, Through "acquired heredity", the "use in, discard in and retreat out" of the abyss.

In some cases, it is very difficult to bury academic figures in an academic way.

However, we can not give him a prize!

The happiness of being a Swedish scientist lies in this. If you can improve your level enough to enter the Academy of Sciences, or enter the Katherine medical school, you will decide the ownership of the Nobel Prize to some extent.

Even if they are not a member of the five member committee, the grand panel of the Royal Academy of Sciences still has great power. They are more like a jury, and can't simply end the dispute by voting.Most of the time, however, the scientists at the Royal Academy of sciences are not monolithic.

Once someone excitedly said to a friend, "we murdered each other's candidates."

In Houston's familiar template, a small number of deadlocks prove that there are many supporters in the grand panel, and at least one third of them have to support it to form a deadlock. However, most of the standoffs lead to the killing of candidates.

If there is a dispute, there is no choice, even in relativity.

More importantly, Houston does not even know whether Yang Rui is in or out of a stalemate.

If he is in a stalemate, he will worry. If he is out of a stalemate, he will worry even more... There is only one Nobel Prize. Once the stalemate is broken, it will be the end of the day.

"Do you know the details?" Houston asked him hopelessly.

As expected, Hosen shook his head.

"All right." Houston some dispirited: "or thank you, at least one news."

"It's not easy for you to know the news. You're welcome." Hosen sold a good one before he left.

In fact, he came here on purpose. Although his colleagues in the school are not optimistic about Houston's move towards the Nobel Committee, it is undeniable that no one can stop Houston's pace.

As far as he knows, Yang Rui has actually entered the final list, which means that Houston's influence in the Nobel Prize panel will also be improved.

Hosen even speculated that the stalemate was probably related to Yang Rui.

However, about this news, Hosen is not going to tell Houston directly. Anyway, he has to find someone to verify it, so why bother.

The Swedish way of selling is also very Swedish.

Houston hurried out of the door, called a taxi and said, "to Katherine medical school."

Although the members of the Nobel Committee have to swear to keep secret, the reality is that the members of the committee are still providing some useful information to their friends, such as who is in the first place and who is lagging behind.

The reason for this is that they need their own information network to build friendship and contact with the international academic community.

As Crawford said, "the ability to exchange the gossip secrets of the Nobel Prize wisely is an important standard.".

Houston is going to exchange gossip wisely.

At the same time, he can also provide more information about Yang Rui to his own information source to help the other party confirm his choice.

In other words, Houston is the information network of some members of the review committee at this time. Everyone takes what they need and completes this extremely important work for the public in a way that is not known to the public.

It is impolite to say that the significance of Nobel Prize in any year to the whole society and mankind is more than the life value of all people in a small city.

In terms of PCR alone, whether we can win the prize or not represents the promotion of PCR, and the promotion of PCR directly determines the development of genetics.

In the next 30 years, all Chinese born after 10, European and American born after 00 will benefit from PCR technology. Further, PCR can directly determine the life and death of millions of infants, the health of tens of millions of infants, and the severity of genetic diseases of hundreds of millions of infants.

As for the development of criminal investigation science, the difficulties of paternity test in junior high school and so on, are not included.

If G protein coupled receptor is used, its radiation surface may not be as extensive as PCR, but its influence is more direct and intuitive. In 15 years at most, diseases such as AIDS, pre-existing adenohyperplasia, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease will greatly benefit from it, and will have more and deeper influence, and will play a role in the next 50, 60 or even 100 years.

However, for people living in today's world, the G-protein-coupled receptor, which has won the Nobel Prize, may be widely used in the next 10 years. Otherwise, the time may be 20 years or even longer. The difference of 10 years may be only 3650 days plus a leap month and a leap day, but it will be life and death for patients, The difference between happiness and pain.

Let's not mention it. It took almost 10 years for a new drug to be popularized and let ordinary people know that by the end of the patent period, the time difference between whether the G-protein coupled receptor can win the Nobel prize or not, that is, the time difference between whether the poor can afford the drug or not.

The world always operates in its own way, and never cares about its influence on human beings.

Human beings, however, are always strong, fighting in an inherent way at the cost of life and pain."Please drive faster." When Houston pats the front seat, he is not qualified to promote or change the result of the Nobel Prize, but even when facing fate, he is qualified to fight, even if it is meaningless.

"Are you a scientist? It's a bit slow to judge the awards at Katherine medical school this year The taxi driver came to chat.

Swedes don't chat, but taxi drivers all over the world seem to be of another race, even in Sweden.

At this time, the most important thing in Sweden is naturally the selection of the Nobel Prize.

The taxi driver looked at Houston in the rearview mirror with concern.

No matter how anxious Houston was, he coughed and said, "I'm a researcher."

The taxi driver anticipated your appearance and said with a smile, "it's time for the Nobel Prize to come out. In previous years, the result would come out on the 3rd. Today, it's the 4th."

"I know."

"You have to push them."

"I need to be able to push." Houston is helpless.

"Not only the biological ones have not come out, but also the chemical ones. If you know who they are, remember to remind you that you don't have enough time." The taxi driver seems to be joking, but actually he is serious.

"Chemistry didn't come out either?" Houston thought of a possibility, and suddenly his brain was sweating.
