Liu Muqiao’s rejection was successful.
This has something to do with a vice president in the Academy of Sciences.
One of the vice presidents of the college studied abroad for a long time and is a typical returnee. Because he has his own research results in life sciences, and he was once appointed as a tenured professor at Hopkins University, he has an international reputation.
Some fame.
He gave up his annual salary of 3 million US dollars and returned to China.
When I returned to China, I became the vice-president of Tsinghua University. Three years later, I became the vice-president of the Academy of Sciences. I was young, only 37 years old, which is the age when I am arrogant, impulsive and arrogant.
In addition, he has been praised to the heavens in recent years, and he doesn't want to hear others being better than him.
This guy is a little prejudiced against Liu Miqiao.
A person who has no experience studying abroad, no matter how great he is, cannot be that great!
Especially after he saw Liu Muqiao's age, he didn't want to look at his achievements. What's more important was that Liu Muqiao hadn't won an award yet, so he officially judged that Liu Muqiao had earned his reputation as a prodigal.
The atmosphere is not good!
He said in his heart.
His idea actually makes sense.
A person who has never left the country and received education at home, no matter how erudite and talented he is, his knowledge is still limited.
If you want to be at the leading level in a certain subject, you must go out and learn the most advanced things from others.
Liu Muqiao does not have any overseas study experience, so it is reasonable for people to be suspicious.
Second, since Liu Muqiao has so many achievements, where is the proof of his award?
In the eyes of ordinary people, good results should receive high-level awards, but Liu Miqiao doesn't even get an ordinary award. What kind of scholar is he?
Besides, age is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Medical science requires time to accumulate, which is different from some subjects, such as mathematics, where talent is more important, so it is not surprising at all to produce results in your 20s.
Medicine is different. What medicine needs is accumulation.
The vice-president was actually calm and did not blindly follow the crowd. Based on these reasons, he analyzed that Liu Maqiao was just a short-lived "Internet celebrity".
When an academician asked Liu Muqiao to come and give lectures in the courtyard, his first reaction was that he was not interested. When Liu Muqiao refused, he sneered, and I knew he did not dare to come!
The vice-president wanted to forget about Liu Muqiao, but he couldn't. Although he was not interested in Liu Muqiao, he was even a little disgusted.
He even suspected that Liu Muqiao was a fraudster.
Someone argued with him, saying that Liu Miqiao was indeed a genuine young genius, and cited many examples. The vice-dean smiled contemptuously every time.
He said: "I really don't understand, how can you believe him? For a young man, if the operation is good, it may be somewhat true, but if you say that he can do this and that, isn't this making him a myth?
? Our country is the easiest to create gods. How many miracle doctors have appeared in the world! The point is, you are all senior intellectuals, how come you believe in him?"
Since he is the vice president and executive vice president, few people really dare to debate with him.
Of course, Liu Miqiao didn’t know all this.
By the way, this deputy dean, whose real name is Qiu Yin, was admitted to college at the age of 14. He was one of the three prodigies of the year. He graduated from college at the age of 18 and directly applied for a prestigious foreign school.
Abroad, he studied life sciences, and one of his achievements in genetic research was epoch-making, which made him famous.
He graduated with a Ph.D. at the age of 23 and continued to engage in scientific research at Hopkins University. He successively produced 17 results, 7 of which won various awards.
When he was 34 years old, he suddenly proposed to return to China. At that time, his annual salary had increased to 2 million U.S. dollars. When people heard that he was going to return to China, they raised his annual salary to 3 million U.S. dollars. He was not tempted by money.
When they learned that the famous Qiu Yin was going to return to China, domestic universities and research institutions were rushing to recruit him.
He did not hesitate to choose Tsinghua University as deputy dean.
After returning, he produced three results for three consecutive years, making domestic genetic research catch up with the world's advanced level. He has made great contributions.
This year, he serves as the vice president of the Academy of Sciences, and is actually the vice president in charge of the work.
He is an independent-thinking person.
He didn't know much about Liu Muqiao, or he knew very little, but he didn't want to understand because Liu Muqiao wasn't worth understanding.
Is a 26-year-old medical student worth studying and understanding?
Qiu Yin believes in genius, but a 26-year-old genius is still just a small tree. As a towering tree, would Qiu Yin stoop down and study a small seedling?
Well, even if you are really capable, what about your results?
Although you have many papers, which are scary, what about your awards?
If you have not won an award, you have not been recognized. Do you still need to study it?
There is a reason why Liu Muqiao did not win the award. He has not signed up since he failed to submit his results for the first time.
This is not because of arrogance, but because he is not interested in ordinary awards at all. All he wants is to win the grand prize.
His results are worthy of winning awards, but basic research has not kept pace with his results, so he is not in a hurry to apply.
Basic research on the treatment of stroke sequelae is still in progress. Most other scientific research results take time. For example, for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, the 5-year survival rate needs to be calculated. So far, the longest is just over 4 years. Learn from the lessons learned last time.
, research on the anti-cancer mechanism will take a longer time.
Many times, the study of principles and mechanisms is more important than the study of final results, because the former solves theoretical problems, theory guides practice, and may be an innovation in a field in the future.
There is another reason. Liu Miqiao doesn't have much interest in winning the award.
Last time, he had some expectations. He had not yet tasted the feeling of winning a prize, and he wanted to try it.
The duck, which I thought was cooked, actually flew away.
Later, as medical skills continued to be developed, especially when companies were taken over one after another, gradually, the expectations for winning the award became less and less.
Winning awards is really not important to Liu Muqiao. Many of his skills deserve to win awards, and they are big awards. Moreover, he also knows that it is only a matter of time. Once the award-winning mode is turned on, it is likely that he will not be able to turn it off.
The gate will win big prizes one after another.
However, he doesn't care, but if Liu Muqiao learns that behind the humility in a lecture, it actually involves his failure to win the award, he will not be calm.
He should have won the award long ago.
After he failed to win the award, it was not announced that he would not be able to win the award, but that Liu Maqiao never applied again. He was doing basic experiments steadily.
If he knew that Vice President Qiu Yin viewed him this way, he would immediately send 10 or 20 projects to participate in the awards.
It happened like this. During the toast, just when Qiu Yin had just rejected Liu Muxiao because he didn't win the award, Liu Muxiao received a call.
The Lasker Foundation informed Liu Muqiao that he was nominated for this year's Lasker Award and was the only nominee.
