On a day in late October, Kyoto, an international metropolis, was as lively as ever.
On this day, Tsinghua University was bustling with activity. Professional and technical personnel from many countries around the world gathered here. In addition to these professionals, there were also more than 30 well-known foreign media and journal companies.
There are no international conferences today, there are just ordinary thesis defense activities at a time.
Today, Bai Ye’s cobalt-chromium alloy removal plan officially came to an end.
This news was submitted by the school's Science and Education Department to the National Natural Science Foundation, then to the National Research Center, and then to the ears of Wei Shuqing of the Health Commission.
In the past year, the National Health and Family Planning Commission officially changed its name to the National Health Commission, and Wei Shuqing, the original old director, continued to hold the last top position after the reform.
When Wei Shuqing learned that Bai Ye had successfully completed the plan to remove cobalt-chromium elements from the human body, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately started discussing the issue with national leaders.
Because this subject is very unusual and a very sensitive one.
Nowadays, many organizations and institutions are making fuss about this thing, so it must be handled with caution.
After a day of discussion, the decision above was: This is a good thing and good news, and this news should be spread!
Therefore, Wei Shuqing sent someone to contact the World Health Organization and invite them to participate in this conclusion.
Wei Shuqing even sent someone to send an invitation to the United States to invite relevant FDA department personnel to participate in this defense review.
However... when the news reached the United States, the other party directly rejected it, which Wei Shuqing never expected.
However, just because the FDA doesn’t send people, it doesn’t mean that others won’t come. For example, Harvard Medical School sent several professors to apply to attend the defense, and the deputy director of the Pasik Institute, Nanskatoon even came in person.
When he came to China, he was curious about how Bai Ye developed this thing so quickly.
Nanskatoon is a scientist, but he is not so self-willed as to be self-centered. Science can always shine through communication and discussion.
After receiving Wei Shuqing's invitation, the World Health Organization directly sent current Secretary-General Will Tang to attend the meeting on behalf of WHO.
And Will Towne has an identity, that is, the person entrusted by the FDA to supervise the 2 billion special funds for the World Health Organization.
Therefore, this time the final defense can be said to be a huge and luxurious one!
The main reason why so many people flock to participate is that the final report contains the relevant processes and data of this experiment. There is a complete process for the research of this scientific research topic, and even the experimental data will be included.
recorded.
As long as these professionals see these data, they will naturally make a judgment in their hearts.
There are only five final review committee members, headed by Hu Yongyuan, chairman of the National Natural Science Foundation, followed by Will Tang from the World Health Organization, Tracy, a professor from Harvard Medical School, and deputy director of the Pasik Institute.
Naskatoon, and Yang Xiquan, professor of statistics at Tsinghua University.
This is the first time in China that a foreigner has been included as a judge during the review of a national natural project, which is unique.
The lecture hall is not a small office. On the contrary, this lecture hall is very large and can accommodate nearly 500 people. The academic lecture hall used to be a place for discussing and reporting on major issues.
But this time, Bai Ye's reply can almost be said to be transparent!
At the beginning of the defense, Bai Ye first opened the ppt and started to introduce the topic. After this introduction, more than half an hour passed.
Because there are really a lot of things involved.
The expressions of the group of people below can be said to be very interesting. Nanskatoon was sometimes excited, suddenly realized, sometimes amazed, sometimes filled with emotion, and occasionally showed a lot of dullness and confusion.
The same is true for Harvard's Tracy. As a female professor at Harvard, her status is very special because she is one of the main judges of the Albany Biomedical Award.
The Albany Prize in Biomedicine is an award in the field of biomedicine, second only to the Nobel Prize in the American medical field, with a prize of US$500,000.
This award is no stranger. Since its establishment in 2001, it has been won by the Chinese many times in 2010, 2015, and 2017.
The Albany Biomedicine Award is mainly divided into two parts: the Clinical Medicine Award and the Research Medicine Award.
This time Tracy took the initiative to come to participate in this defense, which is naturally of great significance.
Bai Ye's introduction was very slow, but there are some things that others can understand even if you speak slowly.
For example, the patents and technologies in this research made Nanskatoon and Tracy full of curiosity.
Both of them were one of the important people involved in this research, so they naturally understood many difficult problems, but Bai Ye's research made their eyes light up, and they even felt like they had a sudden enlightenment.
There were many people in the audience at this time, many of them were scientific researchers, so they could naturally understand Bai Ye's introduction.
A bearded professor from Harvard Medical School looked at the data and processes on the big screen with surprise, and sighed: "It's so unbelievable. I originally thought it might be a joke, but I didn't expect that they really
The result was achieved.”
"Yes, when Nance came, I actually refused. I thought it was impossible. From the cobalt-chromium alloy incident to now, in less than two years, they have already achieved results?" Passico said
The members of the institute sighed.
The bearded man asked: "Some time ago, didn't Professor Nance publish a message saying that some achievements have been achieved?"
The man shook his head: "I thought that was the case. We did make some progress at that time, but... if we follow the research progress at Baiye Research Institute, I think... our research progress may be 100%.
Around forty..."
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and saw a sense of helplessness and disbelief in each other's eyes.
The bearded man couldn't help but sigh: "Have you heard of Bai Ye before?"
The man shook his head: "No, never, so if Nanskatoon comes, I will refuse. As an expert in this field, I have never heard of the name Bai Ye."
So why not a big beard?
In fact, the probability of a blockbuster success in the scientific field is too low, especially for large-scale projects.
Scientific research is no different than invention and creation. Scientific research is targeted, aiming at making a breakthrough in a certain technology or solving a certain problem.
Therefore, here, luck is largely related to power.
It is very difficult for an unknown person to achieve results!
In the field of biomedical scientific research, this circle can be said to be large or small. As long as it is famous, everyone will have heard of it, because there are various large-scale academic exchange conferences in the field of scientific research every year. This kind of exchange is very important in the academic circle.
Very important.
They belong to the field of biomedical research and are relatively well-known. They do not have many opportunities to work in clinical settings, and even the jobs they engage in are completely different.
Therefore, I have never heard of such a famous figure as Bai Ye.
Because Bai Ye has not achieved much in the field of medical research so far.
