Chapter 243 Verification
Ronghua Medical University was a junior college a few years ago, and a private university a few years earlier. The school is trying its best to improve its popularity, but its background is too weak and the teachers are too poor. Now this level has been developed by leaps and bounds, and it is too difficult to improve it.
The principal of the school, Ouyang Cheng, is very ambitious, trying to upgrade a city-level university to a provincial level within his lifetime. But in the past few years, the economy of Tianyang City has been terrible, and the funding for the school is just a drop in the bucket. The biggest face of the school is a biology laboratory jointly established with the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in the United States. Only through this laboratory can it go out to show its face and recruit more students.
And the joint laboratory must publish some papers every year. Good papers will naturally be published abroad, the next level will be published in China, the next level will be published in the province, and the next level... It seems that there are no professional biological and medical journals in the city, so they can only be published in the school journal on.
The school magazine is usually a place where the students of the school brush their faces, but because the papers are basically worthless, they are only published once every three months. Every time the school only prints a hundred or so copies, it can't be distributed with this amount, because no one reads it!
The school magazine once published a nonsense paper like 'On how many ways to die for a mouse', who can be expected to take it seriously?
President Ouyang Cheng was deeply saddened by this, so he personally served as the director of the editorial committee of the school magazine and strictly controlled the quality of the papers. The result is that the school journal has stopped for two issues, because there are not enough papers. Others are not stupid, even if they have really good papers, they don’t want to publish them in your school magazine!
"Principal, someone has finally submitted another paper!" The principal's assistant ran in happily, holding a small envelope in his hand, "Thank God, we finally got enough papers to publish a school magazine."
"Could it be 'the influence of pepper on the taste of roasted squab' again? Don't show me this kind of crap paper." Principal Ouyang was also annoyed. He mobilized all the teachers and students of the school to contribute to the school magazine. As a result, a bunch of students To tease him with some nonsense papers.
Someone even submitted a paper titled 'The relationship between the angle of stool entry and the splash of water'. Seeing this kind of paper, Principal Ouyang wished he could beat the shit out of the student who wrote the paper.
"No, no." Since the principal got mad last time because of the 'shit paper', the assistant principal will preview the submitted papers, and don't come out with shitty things, "This time the title is very big superior."
"Oh, let me take a look." Principal Ouyang put on his glasses, and was very satisfied when he saw the title, "GMO enzymes? Hmm... interesting, following the frontiers of science."
The whole paper is only about 2,000 words, and it can be read in a few minutes. To put it bluntly, it is a new technology and new application. But..., is this paper reliable? Principal Ouyang is not sure either! He is a principal, not a biologist.
Look at the contributors again,
It was Xu Guoqiang. The corresponding author and the first author are all him, under the name of Xu Guoqiang Biochemical Laboratory.
Principal Ouyang has a good impression of this Associate Professor Xu Guoqiang. He is the most unreliable person in the school. In terms of academic ability, he still has two brushes, but this person's behavior has caused too much trouble.
This guy once gave himself a shot because he didn't have the money to buy chimpanzees for drug experiments. As a result, he was hospitalized for half a year, his life was almost over, and the school even made him pay a sum of money, which eventually led to his wife divorcing him.
"What a tragedy, what a tragedy! The dignified associate professor actually wants to publish the paper on the school magazine." Principal Ouyang couldn't help but sympathize, "Oh, let's publish it. Anyway, it's the school magazine, and the associate professor's contribution can support the scene."
The school magazine is usually published by students and ordinary lecturers, and it is really eye-catching for an associate professor to squeeze in. People are naturally sympathetic to the weak, and the Associate Professor has come to such a miserable state that word spreads like wildfire. Originally, a hundred copies could not be distributed, but this time, people rushed to ask for it. Everyone wanted to see how miserable the associate professor was.
However, once the school magazine was opened, 99% of the people couldn't understand what Associate Professor Xu wrote in this paper, and even fewer people who could understand were interested. But after all, someone knew Xu Guoqiang.
"Isn't this paper talking about new applications? Go and verify it." Howard still remembers Xu Guoqiang. As a professor at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in the United States, this meaty foreigner has a big problem with his bad memory. Xu Guoqiang once embarrassed him, and he will remember it forever.
Seeing that Xu Guoqiang was so miserable that he published his thesis in the school magazine, Howard did not forget to step forward. He found a research dog in his laboratory and asked to verify the authenticity of the paper.
But this matter was just an order, and Howard himself forgot after he finished speaking. In his opinion, Xu Guoqiang is already an old dog defeated by him, and he no longer has the value of attention.
After the verification, the scientific research dog who did the verification felt that the paper "Genetically Modified Organism Enzyme" seemed interesting, so he quoted its conclusion in his paper, which was regarded as a secondary research and development, and then submitted it for publication to provincial publications.
However, there are more people reading provincial publications, and many people are also very interested in the conclusions of this second study. After verification, the results are also correct, so they conduct three research and development, continue to publish papers, and publish papers in national publications. .
After it was published in a national-level journal, more people did the research, and genetic modification is currently a hot topic. Many people further conducted extended research on the basis of the three research and development, and once again proved the correctness of the original paper in the school journal.
For a paper, the deeper the research and the more references, the greater its value. However, the official publication of formal publications takes a long time. In the past, repeated revisions and verifications were required, but now they are often circulated in electronic versions before official publication. Even more convenient is the faster delivery of some internal forums and private emails from researchers.
Although this informal method is less rigorous, it has also become an important means of information acquisition. More than half a month after the publication of the school magazine, information about the "new application of genetically modified organism enzymes" began to spread slowly. Although few people knew about it, its actual effects were gradually known.
Until one night, an overseas call came to Professor Howard's mobile phone. A well-known professor from the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in the United States hurriedly asked on the phone: "Howard, you teach in a place called Ronghua Medical University in China, right?"
Howard looked at the clock, it was two o'clock in the morning. He got up from the bed in a drowsy state, and said unhappily: "Yes, I have been sent to this damn place for nearly two years. When will you transfer me back, I am really fed up with this place.... "
Howard just complained a few words, but there was a more urgent voice on the other end of the phone, "Where do you have a professor of biology named Guo Qiang Xu?"
"Oh... yes, there is such a person." Howard almost forgot about Xu Guoqiang. He was about to slander a few words, but he heard a loud voice on the phone: "Congratulate this professor for me, I am very happy It is a pleasure to read his paper and verify his results. He has completed an amazing research, which is amazing!"
Howard, who was drowsy, woke up immediately, but he was stunned again!
Great research? Is there such a thing? (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
