Yang Ping's paper was successfully published in the journal "Science", and Dean Xia became busy again.
As the dean, he must be a good waiter for talented people. Being a waiter is not just about shouting slogans, but also about taking action.
He ran everywhere, to Nandu Medical University, to provincial offices, and to the homes of old classmates. He had achieved a lot in the past few days. He graduated Yang Ping's doctorate ahead of schedule, and the titles of chief physician and professor have been basically implemented. He is just waiting for
Follow the procedure.
The doctoral supervisor is already inseparable. After all, there are so many top medical journal papers, plus this super weighty paper in the journal "Science". As a clinician, it is still safe to get a doctoral supervisor.
However, it is not so easy to apply for the National Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. Currently, there are only 300 places for outstanding youths nationwide each year, covering 67 subdivided scientific categories and 8 general categories. When it comes to the general category of medicine, there are only more than 30-40 places. Outstanding Youth is a high-end talent in China second only to academicians of the two academies. It is an authoritative yardstick for evaluating the innovative potential and academic level of young scholars. The competition is very fierce. Now, almost all academicians under the age of 50 have received funding for Outstanding Youth. It is said that it is through
It’s not an exaggeration to reach the level of academician.
This year, Nandu Medical University only has 3 recommended places, and two of them have already been decided. These two people are young scholars introduced by Nandu Medical University who studied in Europe and the United States. When they were introduced, they had promised to recommend national outstanding young people, so these two places cannot be moved again.
.
There is still one spot. Yang Ping needs to compete with others. The competitor is also an outstanding young talent. He is only 38 years old and has published two CNS articles. This young talent is also the son-in-law of a vice president of Nandu Medical University, so this time
President Rao of Nandu Medical University is in a very difficult position.
In the end, you can only choose one of the two recommended places.
Who should we choose? If the hard conditions are met, we can only hold a meeting at that time and everyone will vote.
The running around these days has also made Dean Xia a little tired. As he gets older, his energy is always a little less.
For example, when playing basketball, in previous years the "leadership team" headed by Dean Xia was always full of energy and could compete with young people. However, this year it was obviously beyond their capabilities and they didn't even get a trophy.
Dean Xia was drinking tea alone in the office and pacing back and forth. Director Han knocked on the door and he eagerly welcomed Director Han in.
The two of them sat down, and Dean Xia briefly introduced the results of his running these days, which were both happy and worrying.
The most worrying thing now is outstanding youth. In fact, it does not mean that you have to apply this year. You can also apply a year or two later. However, Dean Xia cannot give up the fight. He has decided that he can do it sooner rather than later. Now that he has met the conditions, why should he postpone it?
.
"Everything else has been basically implemented. Now it is difficult to apply for outstanding students. There is only one spot left at Nandu Medical University. It is estimated that two will have to compete for one. Xiao Yang's competitor is Vice President Ding's son-in-law Guan Ruyan. This young man is also very impressive. He studied in Germany.
After returning, I have published two CNS articles. After returning to China, I have presided over five national-level scientific research projects and published 32 SCI papers." Dean Xia was worried.
Director Han has also heard about this young man. Judging from the books, his scientific research achievements far exceed those of Yang Ping. Yang Ping currently only has one national-level project, and the other projects can only be considered self-funded.
Project.
"Can we break away from Nandu Medical University and apply separately from our hospital?" Director Han suggested.
Because there are only 3 places in one unit, if you try to grab this place, you are obviously not sure. Yang Ping's book data is obviously not as good as this young man. If you can break away from Nandu Medical University and apply with Sanbo Hospital as a unit, you don't have to grab this place.
Recommended quota.
Dean Xia shook his head: "This is the only way we can go. We don't have the strength to recommend yet, so we can only join the Nandu Department as a whole to participate in the competition."
Then you can only grab this spot. The Natural Science Foundation is very interested in the applicant's research foundation and accumulation. What is the research foundation, how many previous projects you have, and what level they are.
From this point of comparison, Yang Ping obviously has a disadvantage, but from another perspective, it is already extraordinary to be able to achieve such an achievement at the age of less than thirty.
"Have you been to Lao Su's place? What's his opinion?" Director Han asked with concern.
Dean Xia said: "I have met with Lao Su. His opinion is the same as mine, sooner rather than later, and his attitude is very firm. We must fight for this quota. Although the quantity on the books is not as good as Guan Ruyan, the quality far exceeds him. Recently,
A paper has just been published, and the number of citations is still unknown, but the number of citations for several previous papers is very high."
Academic competition mainly depends on academic performance, but when academic performance is evenly matched, personal connections are very important.
In the academic arena, wherever there are people, there are arenas. This is an objective fact.
If Ding Decheng, the vice president of Nandu Medical University, votes, professors who are close to him and qualified to vote will definitely vote for Guan Ruyan. This is human nature.
Similarly, professors who have a good personal relationship with Professor Su will also vote for Yang Ping.
This is just to fight for the recommendation quota. After obtaining the recommendation quota, connections are also very important.
After obtaining a quota, you still have to go through preliminary review, re-examination, review, and application decision-making.
The evaluation that plays a decisive role is voted by the expert judges. The judges include past outstanding young people, great talents, academicians, etc. For example, Professor Su, as a new academician, is likely to be invited to be a judge, although relatives or members of the evaluation committee of his unit will avoid it.
, but he has connections.
In addition to hard power, this thing must also have soft power.

Yang Ping only cares about his own research topic now, and doesn't take anything else to heart.
He doesn't care about outstanding young people, doctoral supervisors, full professors, or chief physicians. He only has his own research topic in mind.
The structure between cells develops from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. This is the most difficult problem at present. Yang Ping must solve this problem, so he has been thinking about it.
To solve this problem requires not only biological knowledge, but also physics and chemistry knowledge, because how cells and cells guide the three-dimensional structure is very complicated.
Artificially replicating a complete tissue or organ is a structure coordinated by cells and substrates, as well as the forces between cells. The human body develops from a fertilized egg into a human body. Why can they differentiate in a preset direction?
cells, and the differentiated cells can be built according to the set structure.
These cells have no eyes, but the cells that make up blood vessels can automatically build tubular blood vessels, and the cells that make up peripheral nerves can automatically build cords of nerves, and the cells that make up the liver can automatically build a liver.
Who is guiding them and how?
The points in the system space are like electricity. While it still has electricity, Yang Ping frantically consults various information, hoping to combine this knowledge and solve the mystery.
There are currently several methods for cultivating or printing organs in vitro: hydrogels, solid scaffolds, and magnetic levitation. However, the three-dimensional cell structure carriers produced by these methods are very uneven, and the size of the holes in the structure is different, so it is difficult to understand how the cells interact with the structure.
Interaction.
Even if the same external conditions such as energy and temperature are given, there will still be many microscopic states that cannot be copied. Some scientists have created a microenvironment that is exactly the same as the human body to observe the state of the cells inside, and they will be able to observe more things. Yang Ping has done a very good job in these. He can completely replicate the microenvironment exactly like the human body, but he still has not achieved the three-dimensional structure he expected.
Yang Ping created a research idea by himself. He made three experimental models using normal stem cells, teratoma cells and tumor cells.
In the human body, normal stem cells are fully capable of building space, so a fertilized egg can develop a complete human body.
Teratomas have some space-building capabilities, such as the ability to form complete tissues such as hair, bones, skin, and nerve tissue in teratomas.
It can be said that tumor cells do not have the ability to build space at all. They can only develop into a spherical shape or adapt to the external space environment. This in itself is a growth method without purpose and without the ability to build space.
By comparing and studying the three, you may be able to discover some mysteries.
In the huge system laboratory, countless flexible manipulators help complete various physical tasks.
The system light screen is equivalent to a giant computer, helping to collect and process various laboratory data, which can then be retrieved on the light screen at any time.
It’s just that no physical object can bring out space. All information must rely on memory to bring out space.
This has cultivated Yang Ping's super memory. Moreover, every time Yang Ping brings out some information, his memory will be strengthened. In short, his memory is much stronger now than before. Not to mention the whole paper, now the whole book
The entire book can also be brought out almost without errors.
Yang Ping has developed a strong psychological tolerance after entering and exiting the system countless times.
Robinson can live on an isolated island for 28 years, and he can also stay in space for a long time until the experiment yields results.
But points are not allowed.
Points are the only shortcoming of this system.
At present, the points continue to decline, and there are only more than one million points, which cannot support the continuation of the experiment. Yang Ping has no choice but to suspend the experiment.
The experiment has been suspended in the final critical stage. Now we are waiting for more than a dozen papers to generate gold coins, and then work hard to continue the experiment.
The actual progress of the experiment has been carried out in an orderly manner according to Yang Ping's plan. In the stem cell laboratory, Tang Shun has completely replicated the results of Yang Ping's system laboratory. Stem cell cultivation has been very mature, including skin cells, muscle cells, and nerve cells.
, vascular cells, etc., the differentiation induction of various cells is very mature.
This talented student from Dongda University had Yang Ping's experimental blueprint and quickly mastered the tricks to achieve the experimental goals.
What confuses this talented student is why a surgeon in Yangping has such divine foresight about scientific research. The entire experiment did not take any detours at all, it was completely direct. In the field of scientific research, this situation is very rare, unless you are very lucky, and you will get it.
Most experiments require many detours and many failures before they succeed.
The Digital Medicine Laboratory of Nandu Medical University uses supercomputers to build anatomical models, which have completely mapped out the subtle anatomy of muscles. The detailed anatomy is down to the level of cells, and the biological connections between cells are also clear.

In order to save time, Yang Ping usually puts the work of writing and revising papers in the system space. Things that can be done in the system space will not be placed in the real space. The most valuable thing in the system space is points, which are the least valuable.
It's time.
He came out of the space after he was satisfied with the revision of all 12 papers. Everything in the system was frozen at that moment. When he enters next time, he will continue from the frozen moment.
Relying on his memory, Yang Ping revised the paper on the computer and reproduced the revised paper in his brain.
After revising the paper, Yang Ping called Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang into the office and gave them the 12 papers to read and finally check if there were any typos or the like.
If more people look at it, it will be easier to see some subtle mistakes.
When Song Zimo saw these 12 papers, he was very surprised. How could he complete the writing and revising of the papers in such a short time? Every day during the day, he and Yang Ping did surgery together. Even if they didn't sleep, eat or drink at night, they didn't have enough time.
It’s limited, and it won’t be so fast.
All I can say is that this kind of paper, for Yang Ping, is like writing a short composition.
Song Zimo divided the manuscript paper into two parts, keeping one for himself and giving the other to Xu Zhiliang, and began to check the paper for typos, citation errors, etc.
"Do you plan to send them all at once? Send them all to CNS?" Song Zimo asked doubtfully.
"If you don't send it out, why keep it? Take the time to check it a few more times. If there is no problem, send it all out at once." Yang Ping urged.
Post 12 articles at once?
Xu Zhiliang couldn't help but shudder in his heart. As a doctor, he knew medical journals well, and CNS was his dream from beginning to end.
In the history of the three top journals, no one has done so successfully, not even Maninstein. A very good company can publish several articles at a time, but I have never heard of one person submitting 12 articles at a time, like the genius boy Cao Yuan's 9 articles.
It is not a one-time investment, it is also accumulated over several years.
"Throw it all out?" Xu Zhiliang was not sure either.
Yang Ping nodded: "Throw them all out at once."
All must be submitted, and evenly distributed in the three major CNS journals. Isn’t this bullying? Isn’t this deliberately flouting the authority of top journals?
Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang checked word for word. Because they were the main participants in both the topic and the writing of the paper, they checked quickly and found no problems.
"If there's no problem, just vote it out?" Yang Ping pointed to his computer.
Song Zimo browsed the 12 articles again and sent them one by one to the corresponding journal's acceptance mailbox.
12 articles. I have never submitted articles in batches like this, but it is really cool to submit articles like this.
Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang understand that whether it is the value of scientific research results or the quality of paper writing, they have absolute strength to impact CNS.
It's just that they don't understand when the professor fell in love with CNS so crazily and submitted articles in such an almost barbaric way.
This is obviously inconsistent with the professor's always rational and calm character.
Will those powerful CNS editors be intimidated by this barbarism?
