Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Where did your news come from?" Ge Xingbang is now the first two big.

Although he is also an academician, his overseas relations are not very strong, so it is impossible to get such news. However, at this position, Ge Xingbang also knows that the credibility of public information is not necessarily as high as that of private information.

Since Wu Hongbo said that Yang Rui was on the two-man list, he might really be on the two-man list.

However, Ge Xingbang still wanted more evidence to support it, as if doing a repeated experiment.

Wu Hongbo didn't have the awareness to be a guinea pig, and wrinkled his nose, saying: "It's all on the list of two people, and the sky is full of news."

The corners of Ge Xingbang's mouth twitched twice, and he was unconvinced.

The same academicians, academicians who participate in various activities, academicians with high level, and academicians with important research directions who have won many awards will naturally have more extensive friendships.

It is not unusual for Wu Hongbo to have news, but Ge Xingbang is embarrassed to say that he has not.

This is actually the benefit of senior academicians. It is not easy to go abroad nowadays. Correspondingly, foreign scholars have fewer opportunities to come to China or meet Chinese scholars in their own countries. From the information channel, if a certain Swedish academician knows Wu Hongbo, he does not need to know other academicians, especially in the aspect of the Nobel Prize selection, the two sides do not need too many people to intervene. Just a one-on-one chat.

One talked about the situation in Sweden and even Europe, and the other talked about the situation in China, and the basic understanding is almost there.

It's like a Chinese academician wants to know about the situation of Iran's domestic scientific research community. Does he need to ask more people? It is not necessary at all, it is enough to ask a scholar with mutual trust.

Chinese scholars need foreign channels, and foreign scholars also need Chinese channels, that's all.

As an academician, Ge Xingbang didn't establish any European channels, so he was naturally a bit of a coward. However, the soil beetle is just that, and Ge Xingbang commented instead: "It's nothing special to be on the final list. Do we still need to officially recognize such gossip?"

"Pretend to understand!" Wu Hongbo was not polite to Ge Xingbang, who is also an academician, and said: "Is that the final list? It is entering the final selection stage. Both Yang Rui and Cohen may be reviewed by the review group. Successively. Taking history as a mirror, scientists who can reach this point will have a chance to win the Nobel Prize in the future. Even if they can’t this year, the chances of winning in the future are very high.”

Scholars of the five-member committee, the initial task was to continuously narrow down the list of nominations,

That is to say, to exclude certain people, generally speaking, there must be some relatively sufficient reasons.

However, at the final stage, when there are two or three, or four or five people left, the scholars of the five-member committee will not continue to exclude, but will put their work on the ranking.

The so-called ranking is to decide whose name to submit first to the deliberation group, and second to the deliberation group...

Because deliberations often "murder" candidates, being number one doesn't mean you get the best chance, and neither does being number two.

All in all, in different periods, the lists proposed by different committees will have different results when they meet different review groups.

Because the review group only has the right to veto, and the committee only has the right to nominate, this kind of game can be full of wisdom or stupidity, and it is bound to be full of luck.

For all human beings, such an important award has so many elements of luck, perhaps it can only be described in reality.

But in any case, as Wu Hongbo said, as long as the scholars on the final list are eligible to win the Nobel Prize, even if they cannot win the Nobel Prize this year, they will become the nominees for the Nobel Prize in the next few years. Popular candidates, similar to academics who win Lax Awards.

After all, they are security scientists who have already been screened for a round, at least there will be no wrong awards.

The possibility of winning the Nobel Prize, or in other words, becoming a popular candidate itself is enough to have room for imagination.

Wu Hongbo will appear and mention the so-called attitude problem, which is based on this.

After Ge Xingbang heard the words "pretend to understand when you don't understand", his face fell, but he couldn't just deny Wu Hongbo's words, otherwise he would really pretend to understand when he didn't understand.

"Then we'll just wait for the result." Ge Xingbang forced a smile.

"It's not waiting for the results." Wu Hongbo was not satisfied with Ge Xingbang's weakness, and turned to look at other people: "Isn't the Chinese biological community waiting long enough? Should we continue to wait?"

No one spoke, and Ge Xingbang smiled sarcastically.

Wu Hongbo stood straight, and said: "The transfer of the scientific research center is beneficial to everyone. If we don't seize this opportunity, will the opportunity jump on our faces?"

"Academician Wu, let's not talk about such nonsense today." Seeing that some scholars were moved, Lao Fang hurriedly said something.

Wu Hongbo laughed twice, and said: "What I said is true. What I'm talking about is the real relationship of interests. How about it, don't you think that one day at an international conference held at your doorstep, you will meet people from various countries? A heavyweight biologist? One day, the research made in our laboratory will guide the direction of world biology."

Wu Hongbo's words really caused waves of commotion.

They have reached the point where funds can be allocated in advance. If we talk about personal demands, to a large extent, they coincide with career demands. For scholars, since the goal of China's top is not to look up to, the desire to be world-class or even the world's number one has naturally been born long ago.

It's just hard to achieve.

So, with Yang Rui's participation, can it be achieved?

If Yang Rui really wins the Nobel Prize, is there such a possibility?

Everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Wu Hongbo didn't wait for everyone to come up with any results, but just a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Let me talk about something practical, what will Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory look like when the Nobel Prize is announced? I say it is world-class. In the laboratory, everyone should have no objection."

Several scholars nodded slightly.

Wu Hongbo didn't say that Yang Rui won the Nobel Prize, but now that he has entered the final list, the value of Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory has greatly increased.

If it falls abroad, a quasi-Nobel Prize winner, that is, a so-called second-tier scholar in the world, can be said to be very capable of attracting graduate students. Among the students who apply every year, Harvard, Yale, and Cambridge earn triple digits. go.

Academically aspiring students who don't want to be with a good tutor.

Even in China, Yang Rui's laboratory is far away from the world's biological center, and its competitiveness will still double.

And if he won the Nobel Prize, regardless of the shift of the world's biological center, he would almost have a sense of the existence of a new area or a sub-center. At the very least, the Chinese biological community cannot be easily ignored by the world biological community.

"In my opinion, what you said, Academician Wu, is not realistic at all." Lao Fang was determined to sing a different tune, and stood up again, saying: "What level is the laboratory, it is Yang Rui's laboratory, but , Is it enough for China to only have one laboratory of Yang Rui? There is no such reason to exploit the laboratories of the whole country for the sake of Yang Rui's own laboratory."

"The funding is not yours in the first place, so why talk about exploitation." Wu Hongbo dismissed the political factors first, and continued to turn to the crowd, saying: "I hope everyone understands the current scientific community, where do all countries in the world get their funding from? In addition to the state funding, there are more and more private companies and foundation funding. We have never touched non-state funding. However, this does not mean that non-state funding does not exist. In fact, as far as I know , Yang Rui’s laboratory has received funding from private companies in other countries, including Coca-Cola and Zeneca, is that right?”

Wu Hongbo asked Professor Cai.

"That's right." Professor Cai nodded.

"This is the benefit of benchmarking. We have a world-class laboratory. Not only the laboratory will benefit, but all laboratories across the country will benefit. Now the country is developing very fast, and it will not take long. Pharmaceutical factories and food factories all over the country , there will be a demand for replacement, and when the time comes, will we be able to get funds from it? Or should we give the funds to factories and laboratories from Japan and South Korea?" Wu Hongbo said very seriously.

To put it bluntly, funds from multinational companies are indeed a major source of income for laboratories in various countries. Of course, this amount of money cannot be compared with national funds, but for laboratories that can receive money, it is not insignificant.

Moreover, the more high-end scholars, the stronger their desire for this aspect, just as the more high-end factories are, the more eager they are for import and export trade.

Ge Xingbang said slowly: "What you said is based on Yang Rui's foundation. You can just tell Yang Rui what to say. What's the need to tell us?"

"This is what I said about the importance of attitude." Wu Hongbo calmed down and said, "It is impossible for everyone to want Yang Rui to charge us in the front and poach his corner in the back. To put it bluntly If it doesn’t sound good, at that time, if there is an influx of foreign funds and foreign conferences coming to China, no matter what the good thing is, do you think people trust you or Yang Rui?”

Ge Xingbang was stunned by Wu Hongbo's question, and said: "This is a diplomatic matter."

"Then you just wait for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact you for funding." Wu Hongbo said dismissively: "The funding of 20 million yuan is agreed now, and there is no harm. Let me mention one more thing, the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University is It is qualified as a national key laboratory."

"impossible!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"It's not breaking the rules, it's breaking the rules!"

The few people who had just been persuaded rebelled wantonly.

Wu Hongbo didn't say much, just sat across from the TV and watched it intently, as if he was at home.
