Chapter 436: When you are young, making mistakes is not a bad thing
Liu Boli is an academician, but academicians are neither good at anything nor omnipotent. As an academician of the Department of Brain Disease, his main research direction is cerebrovascular disease.
Although it is also involved in anxiety and depression therapy, it is not very specialized.
However, Mr. Liu has been engaged in encephalopathy for decades, and his knowledge is far beyond what Bai Ye can match.
After listening to Bai Ye seriously, he frowned and thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "It seems that you have made a lot of preparations."
"It's just that... diseases such as anxiety and depression have been under study. Whether at home or abroad, it has always been a difficult problem. Not only is our development lagging behind, but even countries such as the United States, Britain, and Switzerland have difficulty controlling the disease."
"Moreover, there are more patients with anxiety and depression in these developed countries. Some time ago, I went out to hold a meeting, which was mainly about the issue of emotional illness. According to research, one in every ten people in developed countries has been diagnosed with the disease.
Among patients with anxiety and depression, there are two suspected cases and two potential patients... I was confused at the time, and half of the people may be prone to this disease. This is a terrifying statistic."
"This is a disease that is invisible, intangible, and not even taken seriously by others. Even the patient himself does not feel that he is a patient from beginning to end."
After saying this, Liu Boli smiled and said, "Why don't you change the topic. I have an empirical prescription here. It has been very effective in treating the sequelae of cerebral infarction. You can use modern research methods to study this thing."
"The reason why I tell you this much is for two reasons."
"First of all, it is very difficult to produce results on this topic. They have been studying it for so many years in the United States and the United States, which are the research results you just mentioned. So... I am not trying to discourage you or disbelieve you, but because this topic is by no means as difficult as yours.
Think so big.”
"Think about it? Our experimental building in Puze is newly built, but look at these research equipment and instruments. To put it bluntly, they are all discarded things by others. You use the discarded things by others to study
For things that have not been researched by others, the difficulty... is really not that great."
"This is the first reason. The second reason is that the direction of your subject is too big. This is no longer the study of one thing, but the study of a field and direction. If you want to study mental diseases, you should narrow it down.
As for the scope of research, maybe you can modify the topic and study one of the five things: 5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine and aminobutyric acid, and study their fluctuations and changes, as well as their effects on human diseases.
relation."
"In this case, your research will go more smoothly, because the topic is too big and it doesn't look like a graduate project at all. Look at the current provincial and national projects, none of them are as big as yours."
"In research, bigger is not always better, nor does thinking broadly mean that your topic is more powerful."
"Innovation is important for a topic, but the most important thing is feasibility. Without feasibility, it's just a castle in the air. To put it bluntly, whether the expert review team can give you a proposal is a question!"
"I think you should think about it carefully, and then narrow down the topic and make it more precise. Otherwise, if you have such a large research scope and study such cutting-edge technology, in the end, you will only have one result. You are so ambitious!"
Bai Ye remained silent after listening to Liu Boli's words. This topic was really big, bigger than any other topic he had done before.
This is the study of a new subject, and it is by no means as simple as a material, a substance, or a medicine.
Because these things have clear reference indicators and clinical verification.
But this is not the case, because the current research in this field has always been at the current level, and it is difficult to continue further research results.
You can imagine the resistance, difficulties, and all kinds of difficulties and obstacles!
Just like what the instructor said, if I really write such a proposal report, what is the probability that it will actually pass the review and approval?
Even he himself didn't have much confidence.
What is the equivalent of going to a primitive tribe and telling the chief that you want to conduct antimatter research?
This is something that no country in the world can research now. You tell the teachers in the graduate department that you want a graduate student to study it.
This is not very realistic to begin with.
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
Liu Boli was minding his own reading, and did not interfere with Bai Ye or ask him to go back. Instead, he quietly waited for Bai Ye to let him think.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Bai Ye raised his head: "Teacher, I still decided to study this thing."
Liu Boli frowned and closed the book angrily!
Why is this kid so stubborn?
He was about to refuse, but when he saw Bai Ye's refusal to bow his head, he suddenly glanced at him and thought of it!
"Well, since you insist so much, you can go ahead and give it a try. After you finish writing the proposal report, bring it over to me for a look. How long will it take to start the proposal?"
Bai Ye said: "We will prepare the topic at the end of October."
Liu Boli nodded: "Okay, prepare well. If you need help, come to me, but...if you feel halfway through that you can't do it, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
When Bai Ye saw his instructor agreeing, he quickly nodded with a smile and left.
Watching Bai Ye leave, Liu Boli sighed, maybe this boy's journey has been too smooth.
He should be given some pain to taste.
He originally wanted to refuse this study, but thinking that it would bring an opportunity for Bai Ye to grow in the future, he refused. Sometimes it is not a good thing for people to be too smooth.
For example, Dr. Mikasu, the most famous genetics professor, fell into despair after that failure and died of depression.
Before that, Dr. Mikasu Tranly was a world leader in the field of genetics. His research and studies were going smoothly, and he was privately considered to be the youngest Nobel Prize winner.
It's a pity that after that fiasco, there was no follow-up.
Compared with Dr. Mika Sutra, Bai Ye has had a smoother journey, and he is more successful at a younger age and has made great achievements.
Looking at Bai Ye's confident figure, Mr. Liu sighed.
So young!
There is just an opportunity to make mistakes.
……………………
……………………
Although Mr. Liu thinks so, Bai Ye doesn't think so. He feels that Mr. Liu has great expectations for him, and he must work hard not to live up to everyone's expectations.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye was very motivated!
For a good scientific research work, the most important thing to do is the preparation work, which is the proposal report.
This is like a design plan, deciding every step you will take in the future, and even calculating how much research funding you need.
The most important thing is the specific steps of the experiment and how you should do it.
Bai Ye's scientific research level is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
From studying mice in college to studying at the Nobel Experimental Base, until now, I have done countless experiments and projects, large and small.
Moreover, these topics are all clinical topics and have even achieved very good scientific research results.
Every scientific research success brings a lot of rich scientific research and design experience to Bai Ye.
After opening it this time, Bai Ye suddenly discovered that his scientific research skill: experimental design had reached level 4.
lv4 is the expert level.
The gain of experimental design experience is generally calculated through the projects you participate in and design. It took Bai Ye two years to reach level 4, which is already very slow compared to Bai Ye's other skills.
The experimental design requires strictness and every step needs to be taken into consideration.
The first is the purpose of the topic you want to study, that is, the title.
Bai Ye has already thought about this clearly. What he wants to study is the metabolism of five substances, 5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine and aminobutyric acid, in the human body, as well as the main factors that affect the metabolism of these substances.
By studying what these substances are affected by, and then acting on the human body to produce a series of reactions, it is possible to cause anxiety disorders and depression.
Modern medicine treats these diseases mainly by controlling the levels of five substances: serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine and aminobutyric acid. So how does traditional Chinese medicine work on the human body to produce therapeutic effects?
Is it also through controlling the molecular level of these five substances?
This is the second question!
The third question is exploratory research, which is whether there is a new substance that affects the human body or causes anxiety disorders and depression.
If these three problems can be solved, then there will be a new understanding of the disease.
After thinking clearly, Bai Ye began to search various literatures and read various information on the understanding of the disease at home and abroad, hoping to find some breakthrough points or learn from how others conducted research.
As Mr. Liu said, this is really a challenging topic. At the beginning, Bai Ye couldn't even find the point that needed to be studied.
