I Have a Research Support System

At the dining table, Han Jiaying disregarded her image, and her mouth was full of greasy food, and she was still chanting:

"The spicy one is better."

"However, after peeling off the shells of the garlic-flavored shrimp, it's also good to dip in the spicy soup."

"The side dishes are also delicious, especially the potato chips, which are super tasty."

Before his departure, Xu Qiuben even took a look at the "crayfish shelling skills", intending to show it off in front of the junior girls.

As a result, he looked at the dinner plate for shrimp shells in front of the school girl, and it was already full, and then looked at his own, and it was not even covered at the bottom of the dinner plate.

Comparing the two, Xu Qiu secretly estimated and came to a conclusion: the time he eats one shrimp on average, the school girl can eat 1.7.

What kind of fairy speed is this.

"Ah, it's nice to take care of myself," Han Jiaying seemed to have noticed this, and said a little embarrassedly.

Afterwards, she quickly peeled a crayfish, "Brother, open your mouth~"

Xu Qiu ate the shrimp meat and asked, "How did you manage to peel it so quickly?"

"Remove the shrimp head first, and then do it like this, it will be fine." Han Jiaying demonstrated in slow motion, and then fed the freshly peeled shrimp meat to the senior.

Xu Qiu imitated the operation: "Remove the head of the shrimp first...the first step is successful, then I will do it again like this, second, third, and I will do it again! Well, the shrimp meat is broken..."

The result didn't seem to be very ideal, he sighed and said, "It's so difficult, I'd better remove the shells honestly."

"Practice more, practice makes perfect." Han Jiaying smiled and said, "Brother, have you never eaten crayfish before?"

"That's right, I haven't touched foods like crayfish and bullfrogs before I went to college," Xu Qiu chuckled, and continued: "When I was taken to eat by other people, my first reaction was... ...Can these things be eaten too?"

Han Jiaying asked: "Then what happened after that?"

Holding the broken shrimp in his hand, Xu Qiu dipped it in the spicy soup and said:

"Afterwards, it will be really fragrant."

The relaxing time is always short, and the next day Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying returned to their usual busy schedule.

Although Xu Qiu has established the general direction of future efforts in his heart, there is still a long way to go, and he needs to figure it out gradually.

He planned to start preparing for his graduation project and graduation defense after finishing the two articles in hand.

Late May is the deadline for the submission of graduation thesis, and the time for graduation defense is in early June, which is similar to the schedule of the previous class Tian Qing.

With less than a month left, Xu Qiu hasn't touched a single word of his graduation project yet, but he is not in a panic, and it is only a matter of a few nights for him.

On Saturday, I worked overtime with my juniors to catch up on EES articles.

Sunday night.

Xu Qiu and Feng Shengdong discussed the TAS and TRPL results of Han Jiaying's third-generation B4T-8 series through a WeChat voice connection.

Teacher Feng Shengdong enthusiastically analyzed the experimental data in detail: "This time is similar to the system you sent last time. We used monochromatic lasers with wavelengths of 415 nanometers and 670 nanometers to excite respectively..."

Xu Qiu, who once had an analysis experience, found that he had greatly improved in TAS interpretation. Many places can be analyzed by himself without Mr. Feng Shengdong's explanation. Throughout the narration process, he finally asked:

"The conclusion this time is similar to the conclusion I drew in my previous article, won't it have any impact?"

Feng Shengdong obviously knew about this situation, and explained: "There is no way to do this. After all, the systems are similar, and it is predictable that the final conclusions are almost the same. However, the specific details of the two experiments are not completely consistent. For example, several The time constants, or lifetimes, of each state of charge are different, so that's fine."

"That's true." Xu Qiu agreed with Mr. Feng's point of view. Just like TEM data, the results taken by most systems are almost exactly the same, similar to the "snowflake" image on a black and white TV with no signal, which shows that it is difficult for the recipient The crystallinity of the body is not strong, and the shape of the blend is good, which does not prevent people from inserting pictures in the article.

Next, Xu Qiu gave feedback to Feng Shengdong about some revisions to the text when he wrote the NC article last time because "the two have different research fields and different ways of expressing". After all, there will definitely be more cooperation between him and Teacher Feng in the future. By negotiating early, you can reduce the text revision work in the subsequent cooperation process.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Later, Xu Qiu processed the TAS and TRPL image data obtained this time in PPT to make them consistent with other image formats, and integrated the description written by Mr. Feng into the article.

After completing these tasks, Xu Qiu basically completed the first draft of the EES thesis, which took a whole week.

Now only the repeatability data of the device is missing. Last week, I was busy doing various characterizations, processing data, and writing articles. On the contrary, I made relatively few devices. I only made three batches, which have not yet reached the minimum standard, that is, five different batches. device.

This is relatively easy. You can make devices while refining the article. If you make higher efficiency data, you can directly replace a number without affecting the finalization of the article.

Speaking of which, Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying have not had a rest on Saturday for two consecutive weeks. Counting the five days of the next week, it is equivalent to 19 consecutive days of work, and the pressure is not small.

Fortunately, there is a May Day holiday next week, which lasts from next Saturday to next Wednesday, a total of five days off.

Originally, there was only one day off for May Day, but this year, somehow, it was abruptly changed to five days. The consequence is that I will go to work today and Sunday, and I will also go to work after the holiday next Saturday, but the impact is not great. .

This is also the reason why Xu Qiu wrote the thesis in a hurry. If he can't publish the article before next Friday, it will be delayed until after the festival.

On Monday, at 9:25 in the morning, Wei Xingsi called Wu Feifei to the office.

After a few minutes, Wu Feifei returned with a strange expression, and revealed a piece of news: "We should have a new friend."

"Really?" Tian Qing became interested in an instant, and asked continuously: "Male or female? Are they undergraduates? Teacher Wei should not have a place for graduate students next year. Xu Qiu and Sun Wo are here."

"It's a girl, she doesn't look too young, she shouldn't be an undergraduate student." Wu Feifei said.

"Could it be a postdoctoral fellow?" Duan Yun interrupted suddenly.

"It's possible," Tian Qing nodded, "Our group is so productive, it's normal for a post-doctoral fellow to join us."

Duan Yun answered casually, "Why are you a girl again? The group is full of yin and yang, and it would be nice to have another boy to balance it out. It happens to be four boys and four girls. It wasn't because there was something wrong with it before, but later it all happened. ran away."

After chatting for more than ten minutes, everyone suddenly heard the sound of the door opening next door, and they all fell silent tacitly, and began to show their acting skills.

Not long after, Teacher Wei appeared at the door of 216, glanced around briefly, and said: "Group meeting, come here, there is a new member joining today."

With Wu Feifei's advance disclosure, everyone was not very surprised. Xu Qiu and Sun Wo carried round stools, and the others took paper and pens and followed Mr. Wei to 218. Xu Qiu also took an extra stool.

When everyone entered Room 218, they saw a girl standing by the desk. She looked like she was about to be in her third year of age. Her appearance was near the average line. She wore an army green jacket on her upper body, some faded light blue jeans on her lower body, and her hair was casually combed. together.

Teacher Wei introduced: "This is Wu Shengnan, a new postdoctoral fellow who joined our research group, everyone welcome."

After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

Xu Qiu clapped his hands clapping, recalling the memories from yesterday afternoon in his mind.

At that time, when he was going to the bathroom to solve his physical problems, he met Wu Shengnan in the corridor. At that time, she was walking in the direction of Teacher Wei's office. It seems that he should have come to talk to Teacher Wei in advance, and today is officially confirmed. down.

In fact, if you want to develop well in the academic circle, it will be a disadvantage if you choose to study in China after a post-doctorate. Of course, it may not be appropriate to use "read" here. It's more of a job, but the meaning is still the same.

The reason is that most of those who choose domestic postdoctoral fellows often have master’s and doctoral degrees in China, and now the academic circle is paying more and more attention to overseas research experience, and there is limited room for development in the academic circle without overseas research experience.

It’s not about “self-discrimination” or “foreign monks like to chant scriptures”, but objectively, having such a period of overseas study experience can indeed significantly improve the knowledge of scientific researchers, broaden their horizons, and make it easier to produce results.

After all, in terms of the overall aspect of scientific research, overseas is indeed better than domestic, and there is nothing undeniable about this. If others are better, just learn and try to catch up.

For various reasons, postdocs who have been staying in China, unless they have heavyweight jobs such as the major sub-journals of "Nature" and the main journal of CNS, otherwise they want to transfer to teaching positions. The key one is very difficult, and they can only get a little worse One, or even two or three.

Moreover, it is also a problem to want to be promoted from lecturer to associate professor. Domestic universities do not recognize postdoctoral work experience, and it is almost impossible to directly compete for associate professors. If you want to make progress, you still have to study abroad for "golden gold".

In addition, the domestic postdoctoral system is immature. Some places just spend money to buy labor, such as hiring a few postdoctoral fellows to write "books" (project fund applications), without considering postdoctoral training. If you leave the station, you will have to choose a career again. You can’t always be a post-doctoral student. The two-year period is too unstable.

However, in Teacher Wei's group, Xu Qiu felt that Wu Shengnan should be able to get better exercise, but I don't know if she can handle it...
