No one repeats Yang Rui's paper on potassium channels, which is always a thorn in Professor Cai's heart.

Yang Rui is too young, and the temptation of CELL is too great. On the long and lonely mountain road of scientific research, there are too many people who can't stand the hardships or the temptation, and no one can Guarantee that fraudulent papers will not happen.

Maybe not a full-blown falsification—which is also easily identifiable. The most hidden danger is that the big things are true and the small things are fake.

Any groundbreaking paper, even a small paper, may have hundreds of key points, some of which are so small that ordinary people can’t even imagine, such as whether the small box containing the experimental object in the instrument should be flat or round. Bottom? A small difference cannot be made, but the result will be very different.

If the project fails to break through the key points for a long time, or there is a lack of funds, the temptation to cheat will be greatly enhanced.

Yang Rui's dissertation on potassium channels has a clear and logical design, which is an advantage, but has he broken through all the key points in half a year? Nobody knows.

Professor Cai is a scholar. To use the vocabulary that the boy likes, he is a scientist. Scientists are scientific and rational, not easily emotional.

The only way to prove Yang Rui is to repeat the experiment.

The more excellent repeated experiments, more and more repeated experiments, are more powerful proof than the paper itself.

The repeated experiments on potassium channels did make Professor Cai wait for a long time.

Of course, it is not too long in terms of absolute time. For those non-hot papers, sometimes there is no repeated experiment at all. Even if there is, it is not surprising that it is delayed for a few years.

Yang Rui's thesis is extremely novel, which is why some people rush to do repeated experiments, but this thing kills time, and it is also a blunt knife that cuts flesh, and it is extremely slow.

It can be made now, Yang Rui was also pleasantly surprised, and asked: "Has it been published? Where is it?"

"It's still published on "CELL", a 17-page long article." Professor Cai smiled, and added: "It can only be published on CELL, and the design is basically the same as yours."

Professor Cai laughed.

Someone had already been listening to their conversation, and at this time, someone unconsciously came to congratulate Yang Rui: "The repeated experiments have been published on CELL, and your next paper will definitely be published on CELL."

"Thank you." Yang Rui couldn't argue with them about the privacy of the conversation without hitting the smiling person with his hand.

In the 1980s, people basically didn’t have this concept. You were arguing in the bedroom, someone eavesdropped with a glass against the wall, and the next morning they had a united front with you: What your wife said last night was wrong.

Yang Rui still faced Professor Cai and asked, "You said it can only be published on CELL, the design is the same..."

"The basic experimental design is consistent,

However, the gene expression they discovered is different from yours, so I said that it can only be published on CELL, and CNS also has competition. "

The editors of "Nature" and "Science" are reluctant to publish non-original papers published by CELL, which is very natural and scientific.

Speaking of which, the three top journals are all very arrogant, or in other words, most of the top journals are very arrogant, because there are too many submissions and too many choices, and there will be a tendency of perfectionism.

Therefore, being rejected by CNS does not necessarily mean that the paper is not good, it may just be caused by the dignity of the journal.

Potassium channels are a research hotspot in the biological world. If there are any changes, or if some important conclusions are discovered, Nature and Science will probably not stick to their opinions, but papers with the same design can basically only be published on CELL. After all, it is the aforementioned paper published by my own family.

Yang Rui didn't have the experience of publishing in top journals before, but after thinking about it, he understood. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Do foreigners really care about face?"

"Who doesn't care about face. However, you did win face for our Department of Biology and Peking University." Professor Cai was in a great mood, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

"Is there a reward?" I heard that there will be a repetitive paper, although it has been confirmed that this day will come, Yang Rui has relieved a lot of pressure.

Professor Cai laughed loudly, but said: "Is Coca-Cola not giving you enough benefits?"

"Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent." Yang Rui didn't hide it, he just looked like he had earned it through labor.

"The school really should consider rewarding you." Professor Cai was not talking about the biology department, but the school.

Yang Rui couldn't help being surprised, he didn't expect Professor Cai to be so eloquent.

A few hours later, after reading the latest article in "CELL", Yang Rui understood why.

It turned out to be Johns Hopkins University who did repeated experiments on potassium channels.

If Harvard University is the big brother in the field of education, Hopkins University is the big brother in the field of research.

As the first research university in the United States, Hopkins University has been the university with the most research funding in the United States for 33 consecutive years. Of course, its output is also amazing. Dozens of Nobel Prize winners just represent it. The cutting-edge level, more than 3,000 faculty members, aiming at research and working hard, is the scariest part of it.

To put it bluntly, the research strength of Hopkins University in the 1980s surpassed the entire research strength of a third world country. For example, in Malaysia in the 1980s, the level of scientists from its National Academy of Sciences was even higher than that of a third world country. It is not as good as the level of second-line professors at Hopkins University, and its research funding, paper output, number of patent applications, awards, etc. are also much inferior to Hopkins University.

If we talk about folks, many people may not know or care about the existence of Hopkins University, but in the field of research, especially in the strong research fields of Hopkins University, such as medicine, health and biology, But countless people are watching its every move.

The professor at Johns Hopkins University repeated Yang Rui's paper and published it on "CELL". This news is nothing less than a rich and colorful award.

"Our rewards should be honored." At the school-level meeting, Professor Cai was in high spirits.

This semester is definitely a semester where the Department of Biology has made a big splash.

The leaders of other departments had nothing to say. Hopkins University has recognized Yang Rui's thesis, and they have no reason to stop Professor Cai's attack.

After taking the opportunity to show off a few words and gossip, Professor Cai coughed and said, "I have a proposal, please discuss it."

"Students of the biology department, the biology department can decide for themselves."

"University-level laboratory, our biology department can't make up our minds." Professor Cai said with a smile: "We decided to give Yang Rui a separate independent laboratory before, and we have been procrastinating for so long, so it should be fulfilled now. "

"University-level laboratory? Is it necessary?" The Department of Physics has always been a waste of resources, and the competition for resources is also quite active.

Professor Cai said seriously: "It is necessary. Yang Rui's scientific research group is now hanging under Tang's concentrated laboratory. If someone goes to the laboratory building, they can see that under the sign of Old Tang's laboratory, there is now the University of Tokyo in Japan. And the brand of the cooperative laboratory of Stanford University in the United States, the brand of the school-level laboratory of our school, is more powerful than the brands of Dongda University and Stanford University? I don’t think so.”

In the past, Professor Cai did not dare to fight like this. He was just waiting for feedback on Yang Rui's thesis.

This has always been the case in the academic world. Everyone has the habit of waiting for proof, from the Nobel Prize to the evaluation of professional titles.

Even if the proof comes, not everyone will be rewarded.

That is to say, Yang Rui got extra attention when he published a top journal.

The principal thought for a moment and said, "Should the school-level laboratory increase funding?"

Professor Cai said: "Yes, initially it can be 180,000 yuan a year."

200,000 is too exciting, so he reduced it by 20,000, which is the basic fund that must be given every year. The so-called school-level laboratory is funded by the school. If it is upgraded and becomes a provincial-level laboratory, the province will give more money, but the school generally does not have less money; if it is a ministerial-level laboratory, which ministry will hang the sign and which ministry will pay for it , if it is a national laboratory, such as the one applied by Tang Zhong, the central government's annual allocation will exceed one million, and it will increase year by year, and the school's support will not be less.

Universities and scientific research are such gold-eating behemoths, and they never stop. It can be said that this is an industry where no amount of money is enough.

The principal said noncommittally: "There is not much left in this year's construction budget."

Professor Cai said with a smile: "We are going to rebuild an old warehouse. In addition, we can use a little accumulation of funds to get it all together. The school will give another two to three hundred thousand."

This is a necessary expense for a newly opened laboratory, but it is definitely an additional expense. The director of the physics department became anxious and said: "If your biology department wants to create a laboratory, you should do it. If the school pays, you should wait." This fiscal year is over, let’s do it next year!”

He started, and someone followed him immediately: "Why don't we set up the frame of the laboratory first, and wait until next year's review is over, let's save it and then grade it. At that time, the school level will be the school level, and the provincial level will be the provincial level." .”

"That won't work, there is no grading, how to determine the frame of the laboratory?" Professor Cai didn't give a chance to make trouble.

In China, rank is a very important identification code, just like the military rank in the army, the rank may not be 100% accurate, but its accuracy must be more than 50%.

Although the school-level laboratory is a very low-level laboratory, its meaning is different. Especially the school-level laboratory of Peking University can fool a lot of people when it is taken out. It can also be guaranteed. If it is done well, it can also move along the provincial and ministerial laboratories, core laboratories, and national laboratories.

Without this "school-level" prefix, this independent laboratory is not much different in essence from a certain city or county, or a certain middle school laboratory, and it does not even qualify as an advanced laboratory. .

In other words, whether there is a school-level prefix means whether the laboratory has growth potential.

The principal was silent.

Seeing this, others hurriedly said: "The reward should be rewarded, but Yang Rui is not a teacher in our school, and there is no establishment. Let him preside over a school-level laboratory independently. What's the matter? The higher-ups may also reject it."

"You said that Yang Rui is not a teacher in our school, but a professor at Hopkins University, but you don't think so." If Professor Cai hadn't prepared a trump card, he would not be full of confidence.

While talking, Professor Cai opened the briefcase and said: "The research team at Hopkins University, who repeated the potassium channel experiment, sent a special letter praising Peking University and Yang Rui. I copied a few copies and sent them to Let's take a look."

What he took out was a thick stack of dozens of copies, which gave off a strong air of showing off.

It is indeed worth showing off.

Because this is a text message full of positive energy and full of praise.

There are a total of 4 people in the Hopkins University research team. After explaining their original intention to repeat the experiment, they all spoke well.

The purely handwritten letter of praise contains hundreds of words, all of which are good and admirable.

They praised the logic and ingenuity of the experiment designed by Yang Rui, calling it "an exquisite experiment comparable to the Cavendish torsion balance"; While complaining about "interfering with our experiments", he is also glad that there are not many people in Yang Rui's laboratory, otherwise "it will make our experiments meaningless"; finally, the corresponding author of the paper, Johns Hopkins University Tenured professor Wollaston praised Peking University again, calling it "a first-class university that has cultivated first-class scholars"!

Professor Cai felt that his vanity was satisfied to the greatest extent. Looking at the expressions of other people, those who understood it were probably equally satisfied. Those who did not understand had to look at the expressions of others and pretend to be satisfied.

A letter of thanks from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, for the gentlemen of Peking University, there is no better recognition than this.

Comrade Principal also shook his head and looked at it. Seeing the way his eyeballs rolled, it was obvious that he had read it more than once.

"Yang Rui's experiment is very difficult." After the principal was satisfied, he began to explore the story behind the thank you letter.

Professor Cai smiled and said: "It is very difficult. The research team of Hopkins University should have designed a new method. As a result, the new method encountered too many problems. In order to catch up with the progress and compete for the second place, they finally had to Yang Rui's plan has been fully adopted."

Exclamations and chuckles sounded at the same time.
