There are three parts to the review process. The first thing you need to do is to conduct a trial lecture, then you need to submit a teaching plan for review by an expert group, and finally conduct a defense.
Today is Bai Ye's trial lecture. He deliberately wore a slightly formal suit, which would make him appear more mature. When he came to the classroom, there were members of the student union, members of the credit evaluation committee, and specialized
Expert review team.
Binas was also present. As the principal, Binas's opinion is still very important.
Although Bai Ye's teaching experience is not rich, he is not stage frightened and started today's lecture in a generous manner.
"The concept of microecology has always been a gradually mature theory, and it is also a course with great research direction and worthy of investment. However, if we want to directly study microecology, our current science and technology cannot reach this level, and my
This course uses a new idea to study intestinal microecology through intestinal secretions, so starting today, I will take you into a new world."
Bai Ye's first class was relatively smooth, and it was a smooth transition to guide everyone into the intestinal microecological environment. Here, Bai Ye focused on introducing several special enterobacteriaceae in their research results. These are intestinal bacteria.
Microbial secretions are balancing substances.
"Everyone is certain of the close relationship between the human body and microorganisms. Therefore, when it is currently impossible to study it by looking for different bacteria, my idea is to use microbial secretions, which is the intestinal secretin I proposed.
Finding new ways to find intestinal microorganisms is the main purpose of my course. Thank you!”
The course progressed slowly, and Bai Ye used his unique theory to gradually make everyone slowly accept these concepts.
The response from the audience was average.
Nothing sensational.
Bai Ye was not surprised, because it is indeed difficult for such a new course to attract the attention of many people, and it is also a subject that is not very popular.
Intestinal diseases are far less mysterious than the nervous system, the grandeur of genetics, and the magic of genetic engineering.
But Bai Ye understood that if he wanted to perfect the theory of intestinal microecology, all he needed to do was improve the map.
The rigor and materiality of science illustrate that this subject must seek truth from facts and provide material proof, which is objective science rather than subjective conjecture.
Bai Ye's idea of studying microorganisms through secretions may be difficult for people to accept.
Because there are too many types of intestinal flora, you cannot guarantee that those substances are related to those flora. If this theory is accepted, the process of studying microorganisms may fall into a quagmire and be unable to move forward.
At the end of the class, Jack Szostak shook his head directly: "This course has certain research value, but it does not have the ability to earn credits, because you currently cannot clearly describe the so-called microenvironment in the intestinal microecology.
Describe how you can further in-depth research. If, let me give you an example, you reach the next step in your research and suddenly find that your theory today is wrong, what will you do? Continue to study? It doesn’t matter, that’s how science is.
, but I don’t want an incomplete subject to be awarded to students, so that they will be misled when their own foundation is not solid, and their scientific theories are not solid, so I vote no.”
"Also, the most important thing is that microbiology is a complex subject, and it is definitely not something that can be studied through a secretion. Microorganisms are like a person, and what you call a
Secretion is just a hormone in the human body. Your theory is problematic, so I don’t agree with it.”
"However, I will continue to follow up on your research, and I will also read your lesson plans. Then, my name is Jack, Jack Szostak, and I accept any refutation you have."
After saying that, the bearded old man stood up and left first. Others also expressed some opinions, both good and bad.
Binas shrugged to Bai Ye: "As I said, Jack is a paranoid old man, and new theories are not favored. Moreover, his research direction is microorganisms. The kind you proposed through a third party
It’s hard for him to accept the concept of looking for microecology.”
Bai Ye is silent and the course cannot be carried out, which means that it is difficult for Bai Ye to obtain the map of microorganisms. The map of microorganisms is really important for perfecting this theory. With the display of the map, Bai Ye can completely use this map to
The theory of intestinal microecology is enriched.
This is a historic project!
It is no exaggeration to say that if Bai Ye can improve the microbial environment of the human body, he will be equivalent to a founder and establish a sect.
The establishment of any subject will inevitably solve too many problems.
Just like the emergence of genetic engineering at the beginning, hybrid rice, cloning technology, organ transplantation and culture, genetics...etc. appeared later.
What starts one after another will bring about a whole new world.
The same goes for Jack Szostak. His lifelong research direction has been in the direction of microorganisms. He won the Nobel Prize in 2009 because he discovered several very valuable bacterial groups.
If you can complete the task, you can obtain the flora map. Although it is only for the intestinal tract, it is enough. The intestinal flora is the part with the highest flora in the human body. As long as the intestinal flora is obtained, it will be useful for other things in the future.
Bacteria are very helpful.
Moreover, Jack can win the Nobel Prize by concentrating microorganisms and perfecting the intestinal microbial flora map by himself. If the Nobel Prize is not given to himself, it would be totally unjustifiable!
so.
Bai Ye was a little unwilling.
He was well prepared and had already described the special substances in the intestinal tract in China. This is equivalent to a functional theory, not a science. If he wants to be thorough enough to be accepted, he must put the facts in front of him.
Binas looked at Bai Ye: "Just wait for the results. Jack doesn't have the final say at Harvard. The evaluation committee will consider it comprehensively."
Bai Ye nodded. At this time, all he needed to do was wait.
The improvement of a subject requires a long process.
There are many people who devote themselves to science. Bai Ye does not have such great ambitions, but now that he has come to Harvard, although I have come, I see that conquering is just a task, but Bai Ye still has to do it.
In the past few days, Bai Ye patiently waited for the results. In addition to reading books, he often went to listen to lectures from other professors.
There is progress, and his biggest feeling is that his knowledge of knowledge is constantly improving.
Every professor has some knowledge of their own research, and there are many free classes.
But these are basically non-credit courses and belong to the category of interest courses.
