Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

In the academic world in Beijing, Yang Rui's graduation defense caused quite a stir.

The time for serious graduation defense has passed, but since Professor Cai proposed to invite people from outside the school to participate in Yang Rui's graduation defense, discussions on this topic have not stopped.

Some people wanted to participate in the graduation defense, so they approached Professor Cai through a relationship, and some were unwilling to participate in the defense, so they had to use euphemistic words to avoid misunderstandings.

Some media will also send a message on the third and fourth pages, and talk about this topic by the way. There were countless newspapers in the 1980s, far more than the number of news websites in later generations. Everyone discussed endlessly when there was any news, but no one discussed whether Yang Rui should graduate early or make an additional defense, as if it was a matter of course.

Peking University treated it like nothing special, and organized it in a serious manner.

If it was an ordinary student's graduation defense, naturally there would not be so many idiots. Furthermore, even Yang Rui's graduation defense should not have so many idiots.

It happened that Yang Rui took out the dissertation on G protein-coupled receptors as his graduation thesis, which inevitably aroused all kinds of curiosity, discussion, worry and prying eyes.

The g protein-coupled receptor made by the ion channel laboratory has already filled the reputation of the biological world, not only the reputation of the biological world, but also because of the competition for the Nobel Prize, social media has a high reputation , Now let scholars use this to examine and even question Yang Rui, few people are confident.

Of course, there are always scholars who want to take shortcuts and try to use this to get to the top, but if the level is not enough, and they don't have enough reputation, they will naturally be beaten back by Professor Cai.

Professors and associate professors can do thesis defense for ordinary students, and even lecturers can do it. Teachers in local colleges and universities, no matter how poor they are, still have the opportunity to serve as instructors to review graduation thesis.

There is nothing to review the graduation thesis made by ordinary undergraduates. It is basically a matter of learning how to write a thesis. There is no valuable paper in a hundred, and it is even okay to go too far.

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, at least it must be at the academician level.

A scholar at the academician level does not necessarily mean that he must be an academician. There are a lot of people who are not academicians at home and abroad. Some scholars are not well-known outside the circle, but they are well-known inside the circle.

Professor Cai made a careful selection, and took the attitude that if you don't agree, you look down on others. Finally, four people were selected, and then Yang Rui was notified to participate in the graduation thesis defense.

The school's selection of candidates from all over the world also shocked the media, so much so that some reporters wanted to record the scene, but Professor Cai refused as usual.

In the second week, Professor Cai finally organized the defense, and then called Yang Rui, pretending to be tired, and said: "In the future, if someone wants to graduate early, I have to put him in the ordinary graduation class. Forget it this time, I’ll give you a separate treatment, and you have to give Peking University a boost.”

"I've always been competitive." Yang Rui laughed twice.

"That's right, who would have thought that you would have conquered the G protein-coupled receptor in just a few years." Professor Cai himself is a master of biology, and he can appreciate Yang Rui's achievements even more.

Yang Rui boasted a little, changed his steady posture, and said: "Whether it is conquered or not, it depends on the feedback from the academic community."

He drew the three-dimensional structure of the g-protein coupled receptor, but is the three-dimensional structure of the g-protein coupled receptor really like this? Academics can still have doubts.

However, the three-dimensional structure of this volume cannot be seen with the eyes. We can only see if it conforms to the currently known theory. Basically even if it is made.

As for the 100% fit, it is impossible to happen. The three-dimensional structure of the g-protein coupled receptor is not a simple gesture.

Professor Cai was very satisfied with Yang Rui's modesty,

With a smile, he said: "Although I don't know much about this field, I still believe in the results you have made. There is no problem."

The members of the dignified academic department must admit that they don't know much about this field, that is, they are scholars of the first and second ranks in the world.

Yang Rui felt refreshed for a few seconds, and asked, "Who is here this time? Should I make some preparations in advance?"

Yang Rui works on G-protein coupled receptors. Although he has a golden finger, he has done experiments one by one. Whether it is the overall situation or the details, he is undoubtedly the number one in the world. He is not afraid of answering questions at all.

In addition to the insurance provided by Professor Cai and others for him that day, the reason for choosing G-protein coupled receptors for his graduation thesis is that it is also conducive to the defense.

If you change the content in another direction, Yang Rui may still be asked by others, but g-protein coupled receptors are impossible. Anyone in the world who wants to do this will have to go to the laboratory for at least two or three years.

Seeing that Yang Rui was confident, Professor Cai showed confidence, and relieved Yang Rui, saying, "Besides me, there are Academician Wang Jianbo from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Qian Zizhen from Tsinghua University, and another you know. Chairman An Linhai."

"This lineup is high enough." What can Yang Rui say. Two academicians and two associate academicians, including the top figures of the three academic institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University and Tsinghua University, An Linhai is the chairman of the project application committee of the Ministry of Health, counting, it is more powerful than the general high-end achievement appraisal committee.

Professor Cai smiled mysteriously: "It's better if the specification is high."

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

Juniors in academia hate such things as achievement appraisal. What's the matter, what I made still needs your approval? This is wrong, foreign countries are recognized by time, by consumers, at least by investors.

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

For example, if I do a high-end academic research, in Western countries, there will be all kinds of ridicule and speculation, and not everyone will seriously do repeated experiments. However, if you adopt the Soviet-style achievement appraisal method, even if it is a formality, if you say something good, it is still a good thing, and then there will be less wrangling, and some good projects will be easy to promote.

Of course, the garbage project passed, just as easy to promote.

Yang Rui is faced with the problem of evaluating the Nobel Prize. It is not appropriate to make a big fanfare of the achievement appraisal, and it is not good to misunderstand Western scholars.

However, if we don't do it, how can we unify our thinking?

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

In essence, the defense of the graduation thesis is the same as the operation of the Achievement Appraisal Committee. Judging from the specifications of the thesis defense organized by Professor Cai, these four passed, and there will probably be no institutionalized criticism in the domestic academic circles. .

Professor Cai didn't care whether Yang Rui understood or not, he gave him some advice and then went back by himself.

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

In the auditorium that could seat hundreds of people, Yang Rui was alone, facing four professors sitting on the rostrum, and another reporter from the school newspaper, holding a camera beside him, and a sketch paper in front of him.

Yang Rui took a deep breath and prepared to explain his thesis.

...Shidori village says

I haven't been in a good state for the past two days, and my body has been silently melancholy. It's probably because it's hot. I can't even get excited after eating beef. I have to cool down at night to think clearly. I will get up early tomorrow to type.
