Ronghua Medical University was still a junior college a few years ago, and even a private university a few years earlier. The school has tried hard to increase its popularity, but unfortunately its foundation is too weak and its teachers are too poor. Now it has reached a leapfrog level.
development, it is too difficult to improve.
The school's principal, Ouyang Cheng, is very ambitious and tries to upgrade a municipal-level university to a provincial level in his lifetime. However, Tianyang City's economy has been in terrible shape in recent years, and the funding allocated to the school is a drop in the bucket. The school's biggest reputation is that it competes with the United States
There is a biology laboratory co-constructed by the Hopkins Medical Center. It relies on this laboratory to go out and brush people up and recruit more students.
And the joint laboratory inevitably publishes some papers every year. Good papers are naturally published abroad, the second-level papers are published in China, the third-level ones are published in the province, and the third-level ones... It seems that there are no majors in the city
Biological and medical journals can only be published in the school journal.
The school magazine is usually a place for students of the school to get their reputations, but because the papers are basically of little value, it is only published once every three months. The school only prints a hundred copies each time, and this amount cannot be distributed because there is no way to distribute it.
No one is watching!
The school magazine once published a nonsense paper like "On how many ways a mouse can die." Can anyone expect to take it seriously?
President Ouyang Cheng was very sad about this. For this reason, he personally served as the director of the editorial board of the school magazine and strictly controlled the quality of the papers. As a result, the school magazine has been suspended for two issues because there was really not enough papers. Others are not stupid, and there are really good papers.
I don’t want to publish it in your school magazine!
"Principal, someone has finally submitted another article!" The assistant to the principal ran in happily, holding a small envelope in his hand, "Thank God, we finally have enough papers to issue a school magazine."
"Could it be 'The Effect of Pepper on the Taste of Roasted Squab' again? Don't show me such a crappy paper." Principal Ouyang was also annoyed. He mobilized all teachers and students in the school to submit articles to the school magazine, and a lot of students were
Just tease him and write some nonsense papers.
Someone even submitted a paper titled "The relationship between the angle of feces entering the pit and water splashing." Seeing this kind of paper, Principal Ouyang wished he could beat the crap out of the student who wrote the paper.
"No, no." Since the last time the principal got angry because of the "poop paper", the principal's assistant will preview the submitted papers, and must not come up with something shitty and peeing again. "This time the title is very big.
superior."
"Oh, let me take a look." Principal Ouyang put on his glasses and was very satisfied when he saw the title, "Genetically modified biological enzymes? Hmm... It's kind of interesting, tracking the frontiers of science."
The whole paper is only about 2,000 words, and it can be read in a few minutes. To put it bluntly, it is a new technology and new application. But..., is this paper reliable? Principal Ouyang is not sure! He is a principal, not a biology
Scientist.
Looking at the contributor, he is Xu Guoqiang. He is the corresponding author and the first author, and his name is Xu Guoqiang Biochemical Laboratory.
Principal Ouyang has an impression of Associate Professor Xu Guoqiang and Xu. He is the most unreliable person in the school. In terms of academic ability, he still has two brushes, but his way of dealing with people has really caused too many problems.
trouble.
This guy once gave himself a shot because he had no money to buy a chimpanzee for drug experiments. As a result, he was hospitalized for half a year and his life was almost lost. He also asked the school to pay a sum of money, which eventually led to his wife divorcing him.
"What a tragedy, what a misfortune! The great associate professor actually wants to publish the paper in the school magazine." Principal Ouyang couldn't help but sympathized, "Oh, let's publish it. It's the school magazine anyway, and the contribution of the associate professor can also support the scene."
The school magazine usually publishes articles by students and ordinary lecturers, so the inclusion of an associate professor is really eye-catching. People naturally sympathize with the weak, and the news about the associate professor falling into such a tragic situation spread like wildfire. Originally, more than a hundred copies were printed and could not be distributed.
, this time someone actually wanted it. Everyone wanted to see how miserable the associate professor was.
However, as soon as the school magazine was opened, 99% of the people could not understand what Associate Professor Xu wrote in this article, and the remaining people who could understand were even less interested. But after all, there were still people who knew Xu Guoqiang.
"Didn't this paper talk about new applications? Go and verify it." Howard still remembered Xu Guoqiang. As a professor at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in the United States, this foreigner like a mountain of meat had a big problem with his poor memory. Xu Guoqiang
If you ever embarrass him, he will remember it forever.
Seeing that Xu Guoqiang was so miserable that he published his paper in the school magazine, Howard stepped forward and stepped on him. He found a scientific research dog in his laboratory and asked to verify the authenticity of the paper.
But this matter was just an order, and Howard himself forgot about it after saying it. In his opinion, Xu Guoqiang was already an old dog that he had defeated, and was no longer worth paying attention to.
After the verification was completed, the scientific research dog felt that the paper "Genetically Modified Biological Enzymes" seemed interesting, so he quoted its conclusions in his own paper, which was regarded as secondary research and development, and then submitted it for publication.
Go to provincial-level publications.
The provincial-level publications were read by more people, and many people were also very interested in the conclusions of the second study. After verification, the results were correct, so they conducted three research and development, continued to publish, and went to the national level.
publication.
After it was published in a national-level journal, more people started doing research, and genetic modification was a current hot topic. Many people conducted further expansion research based on the three research and development projects, once again proving the correctness of the original paper in the school journal.
For a paper, the deeper the research and the more citations, the greater its value. However, formal publication in regular journals takes a long time. In the past, it had to be revised and verified repeatedly, but now it is often done before official publication.
, will be disseminated to the outside world in electronic versions. What is more convenient is that the private emails of some internal forums and researchers are delivered faster.
Although this informal method is not very rigorous, it has also become an important means of obtaining information. More than half a month after the school magazine was published, information about the 'New Application of Genetically Modified Biological Enzymes' began to spread slowly. Although people who knew it
There are still very few, but its actual effects are slowly becoming known.
Until one night, an overseas call came to Professor Howard's mobile phone. A well-known professor from the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in the United States hurriedly asked on the phone: "Howard, are you at a medical school in China called Ronghua Medical University?"
A university's place to teach, right?"
Howard looked at the clock and saw that it was two o'clock in the morning. He got up from the bed groggily and said unhappily: "Yes, I have been sent to this damn place for nearly two years. When will you transfer me back?"
, I’m really fed up with this..."
Howard had just complained, but a more urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, "Do you have a biology professor named Guoqiang Xu?"
"Oh..., yes, there is such a person." Howard had almost forgotten Xu Guoqiang. He was about to slander a few words when he heard a loud shout on the phone: "Congratulate this professor for me, I'm very happy."
I am glad to have read his paper and verified his results. He has completed a great piece of research, very impressive!"
Howard, who was originally groggy, woke up immediately, but was confused again!
