The deputy mayor was not in a hurry to leave after announcing the break, and even shook hands with the big bosses to say hello. The administrative and academic staff were very cordial and festive, like old friends reunited, and the people around him also felt warm and respectful.

Everyone thought that the previous discussion was in-depth and frank enough, but they didn't expect that after the deputy mayor got off the podium, he could share his youthful cynicism more openly with the crowd of young scientific researchers. His tone was so sincere.

A little anxious, but the young man is calm.

It’s really time and money. Leaders and big bosses worked together to spend more than half of the rest time to answer questions and give advice to young people. Then they still took the last two minutes to drink water under the reminder of the secretary assistant.

Most of the attendees who were still in their seats also hurriedly moved into action. Yang Jingxing stood up to make way for others and then sat down properly, not daring to make a mid-course report call to his girlfriend as promised.

Everyone came back very quickly after going out. Although they only rested and moved for a few minutes, the young people were obviously more energetic after sitting down. Not only were they closer to each other and more enthusiastic, but they also looked forward to the door.

When the leaders entered the venue again, their pace was much more brisk than an hour ago. The deputy mayor's smile was so bright that he didn't even wait for the bosses to take their seats before he started: "Are you all back? Just now I asked you about the two most concerning questions.

I also asked Director Xiao and Professor Liu for advice..."

The young people immediately entered a state of eager listening.

When the deputy mayor made a higher-level theoretical and strategic summary of the first half than superficial issues and boldly decided to recommend that the city submit a report to the ministries and commissions to regard Puhai as the vanguard of intellectual property protection and academic integrity construction, the young people

The scientists were so happy that they wanted to applaud again.

The deputy mayor is not happy to celebrate the great achievements achieved. Please continue to talk freely, because making valuable suggestions here is also a contribution to scientific research.

As soon as the leader finished speaking, the young people enthusiastically raised more than a dozen hands. The lucky person selected by the leader introduced himself as being from the Fudan Institute of Plant Science. The deputy mayor quickly remembered his name and gave a more detailed introduction to everyone, because the young people

His mentor has a close relationship with his mentor, and they can be considered brothers here.

There was a moment of joy and congratulations among the people, but this junior fellow student seemed not to be good at making friends. The face of the frail scholar was a bit cold and shy, and his tone became less confident when he opened his mouth: "I want to say that our current scientific research and academic...

Too eager for quick success."

When the pole was swept over, the venue became much quieter, and even the deputy mayor's smile froze a bit.

The brief pause seemed to allow the speaker to gather some energy, and he spoke louder: "Whatever is hot, we will rush to do it. If there is a hot topic in nanometers, we will do nano. If there is a hot topic in genes, we will work on genes. If there is a hot topic in materials, we will do materials. Last year, the Nobel Prize in Physics

The award has just been released, and many places are promoting graphene non-stop. It really doesn’t work like this!”

The deputy mayor nodded slightly: "As far as I know..."

"Just following the trend!" The junior brother seemed to have understood exactly what the senior brother wanted to say, and he looked sad: "But what he did was just changing the soup without changing the medicine, or even repeating it, which wasted a lot of money and manpower."

Perhaps because most of the people who had been eager to discuss the topic were in popular directions and could not agree with the speaker's extreme views, the venue was not as lively as when the topics were discussed in the first half.

"As far as I know, this phenomenon exists." The deputy mayor did not dare to stop and finish the sentence: "But I made a rough statistics myself..."

"Waste is secondary." This young man who is engaged in plant research seems to be a little stupid and refuses to listen to the leader: "If this continues, scientific research will be seriously partial to science. Now in universities, even meteorology and geology have become unpopular subjects. Global climate change is so drastic.

, if we continue not to pay attention to it, the people of the country will pay a huge price in twenty or thirty years."

After all, he had been away from scientific research for many years, and the deputy mayor couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all: "Please briefly tell me what you think will happen in twenty years..."

"I believe we will all be alive at that time and everyone can see it!" the botanist said from the bottom of his heart.

There was so much preparation just to say something auspicious, and many people on and off the stage were happy.

The deputy mayor also couldn't help laughing for a while, but he still had to face science seriously: "Because of our country's geographical location and geological conditions, as well as many reasons for its industrial and agricultural industry, climate change is likely to be a very severe test that we will soon need to face.

…”

Talking about the climate topic is like hitting the target of the Department of Geophysics. The deputy mayor's talk is like giving a scientific report to everyone. The key is that he also knows something about the research in recent years, and what he talks about is real things.

There was almost no empty talk. The audience was certainly interested in it, and they were completely convinced of the country's emphasis on climate issues, and were even more certain that meteorology and geology could not be an unpopular subject.

However, regarding this topic of unpopularity and popularity, the deputy mayor also feels that everyone can discuss a few more words without limitation, because when he invited everyone to participate in the symposium today, he discovered some phenomena, such as the first batch of certificates obtained more than three months ago.

When I made a list of more than 200 people, I found that nearly half were engaged in life sciences and materials science, so I asked my colleagues to add another 100 people. Of course, the purpose was not to be comprehensive, but to try to pay attention to each field with scientific thinking.

importance.

The leadership's considerations are of course correct. The big guys who stand at the forefront of the most popular fields of materials were the first to fully express their opinions. They first admitted that there is indeed a phenomenon of homogeneous research in the academic world. However, there are many reasons, one, two and three.

Four... If you want a hundred flowers to bloom, the most important thing is to start from the source, from the baby.

Almost everyone strongly supported the big boss’s suggestion. Young people generally regretted that they started cultivating orthodox scientific thinking too late. Someone familiar with the West introduced in detail primary and secondary science education in developed countries, and there were also a bunch of well-informed supplements. Everyone

The more he talks about it, the more he talks about it. It seems that in the minds of young scientific researchers, it is urgent and imperative to reform basic education.

Regarding the issue of primary and secondary schools, the deputy mayor seems to be less vigorous and resolute, and seems to be a bit conservative. He believes that the current basic science quality education in Puhai City is already going well.

Alas, young people actually said in front of the leaders of the government and the Education Commission that the current scientific activities of young people are all formalism and seriously lag behind the world situation. When it comes to formalism, this is a big topic. Scientific researchers simply

The crowd was excited.

Maybe it was because the leaders listened patiently and attentively, and for half the class, except for a few people who reminded everyone that the formalist hat should not be worn indiscriminately, the young people almost all complained and criticized, even the middle-aged professors

It is also suggested that some work other than scientific research can be reduced, and some necessary work should be carried out in a more efficient manner.

Why are there forms of work that are inefficient or even unnecessary? Everyone discussed that one of the main reasons is the language barrier. To put it bluntly, it means that the layman leads the expert...

As the discussion continued, the deputy mayor simply made it clear for everyone: "When we build a management university, whether it should be administratively led or academically led."

This is a good show. The Youth Day symposium quickly turned into a debate competition with distinct opinions. The affirmative side, which had more debaters, pointed out that administrative dominance has many disadvantages and only professors’ dominance is a correct and inevitable trend. The negative side emphasized academic research.

And running a school are two different things, and if the direction is wrong... there are also a few opinions that the centrists think that there should be a combination of diversity, but it will not please both sides.

Both sides first presented the facts. The one side explained that a project that was likely to produce major breakthroughs was canceled immediately and caused tens of millions of established laboratories to be shelved. The other side also gave an example of a major academic authority's wrong judgment that led to major breakthroughs.

Loss... Putting the things mentioned on both sides together, scientific research is simply hopeless.

After presenting the facts and reasoning, the venue became more exciting and more intense. After being questioned by a woman from East China Normal University for not even understanding basic legal concepts, the woman from the China Institute of Law and Society at Jiaotong University

The researchers all slapped the table: "Then let me ask you, what is the definition of administrative leadership?"

Many people did not expect that a young woman who said she was studying "autism" could talk about "subject, authority, purpose, object, relationship" and these things. The terminology was long, but the key was to put the other person in

I would like to use a popular metaphor when I don’t understand the professional vocabulary. Anyway, based on her explanation and definition, her final conclusion that “administrative dominance is contrary to the purpose and spirit of science and education” seems to be self-consistent. In this regard,

After the woman half-smiled and asked, "Have I made it clear enough?" even some of her opponents in the trenches had to applaud vigorously in admiration.

Seeing researcher Quan Shiqi, who had published a book, being defended so hard that he was red-faced and speechless, the deputy mayor seemed to be a little bit upset. He stood up to soften his words and said that the arguments and arguments of the female researcher were very exciting, but there was something wrong with them.

Some definitions are also artificial, and some logical, theoretical or legal relationships are only universal cognition. However, I think these artificial definitions and cognitive relationships are not necessarily the only correct ones, just like Euclidean geometry and non-Euclidean geometry...

…

More warm applause is dedicated to the leaders.

When the applause just ended, researcher Quan Shiqi thought of the irrefutable evidence: "Without administrative leadership, would we be able to put forward so many suggestions to the respected leaders here today?"

The poor female researcher's "You still don't understand what I mean" was completely drowned in the cheers of the opposing debaters. Then the researcher who had previously reported the loss of state-owned scientific research achievements stood up with tears in his eyes and shouted: If it is a professor

If he takes the lead, then he will never have the opportunity to be recognized and inspired as he is today, and he can only work hard in the laboratory to make wedding dresses for others.

Scientific researchers seem to understand this colleague and will not refute his sorrow. However, the big point cannot be given up because of small cases, so the debate must continue, and some people pointed out today's discussion very shamelessly.

Meetings are great, but the root of many problems lies in the administrative power to hold such symposiums.

The show lasted for more than an hour, and some of the things sounded familiar, giving Yang Jingxing, who came from the Conservatory of Music, the illusion of being in a scientific research team.

It's a pity that the most lively song didn't have a clear winner until the end, so no relevant measures were announced. The deputy mayor just said that he learned a lot through this debate and had more thoughts about higher education and scientific research.

With a deeper understanding, there are many shortcomings.

Seeing that the leaders were all blaming themselves, Xiao Ke, the most famous person, stood up and said that he believed that progress is composed of 10% creation and 90% improvement. Science itself is a process of constant error correction. Today everyone has the opportunity to speak freely like this.

It is an integral part of great progress. He also has some personal suggestions regarding scientific research. Simply put, it is to strengthen basic scientific research. In detail, there are one, two, three, and four.

The boss is simply a leader. He talks like a policy and strategy. He is not long-winded or heavy-handed, but it is worthy of everyone to listen carefully, taste and think a lot, and then have a comprehensive discussion.

The effect of what the boss said is also very different. For a major matter of great benefit to the future, such as strengthening basic scientific research, the Municipal Education Commission and Education Bureau will conduct special research and report it as soon as possible.

With the applause here, today's discussion can actually be successfully concluded. It's almost lunch time, but there are still many things to say on and off the stage. It's too late to meet each other. After basic scientific research, we awkwardly talked about the salary issue and reviewed some academic research.

The topic of governance also involves the pros and cons of the college entrance examination.

You may all know that the conversation should be more casual when it is almost over. A man in his early thirties who came from Puhai Mathematics Center of Fudan University and is mainly engaged in computational mathematics research said that his wife is also a language researcher at the same school, because the two of them

Everyone is busy with work, so the children go to boarding school full-time.

The deputy mayor quickly asked how old the child was? When he heard that this child was ten years old and already in fourth grade, most of the young researchers in the audience exclaimed in admiration.

The focus of the mathematician is not how early he gets married, but the education of his children. We have discussed basic science education before, but what he feels deeply and is more worried about is the ideological and moral issues of his children. First of all, he must admit that there are

The reason is that parents neglect to accompany them, but schools also have certain responsibilities. Why do primary school students who study in a famous and high-fee school generally compare themselves to material brands and pursue cultural dross? Should the country pay attention to related issues?

The leaders only care about which school they are in, so why are they pursuing the dregs?

I have never eaten pork but I have always seen pigs running away. When talking about children's lessons, the symposium became more humane. The older people advised parents to relax. Children's growth is in stages. Many behaviors should be understood and guided. Support.

The singer is also happy for the parents, because the child's music choice shows that he is tasteful and dignified.

Parents know that this singer is a typical example of moral corruption, which is unspeakable. What makes people even more angry is that it is a female teacher who leads the children astray.

Unexpectedly, young scientists are not ambiguous when it comes to moral issues. The more mainstream view is that according to this parent's standards, those scientific giants are not very good. Even mathematicians... cannot deny scientific results because of personal ethics issues.

That’s it.

It's better not to turn it into a gossip conference. The deputy mayor seemed to have an idea on the stage: "Is Yang Jingxing here?"

The people from Puyin who had been listening for more than two hours in the morning might have been stunned, but it was the male polymer man from East China University of Science and Technology who responded quickly and loyally: "You!"

Yang Jingxing quickly sat up straight: "Here we are."

Probably because he noticed that Yang Jingxing was absent-minded, the deputy mayor also explained the situation: "Please share your views. Let me introduce to you first. Yang Jingxing is the director of the Piano Art Center of Puhai Conservatory of Music. He is mainly engaged in composition technology theory and piano performance.
To be continued...
