Five, you are no longer the you I know (Part 1)

Jiang Shuiyuan's voice was crisp and comfortable, and his outstanding appearance made most of the students in the class remember him at once.?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                �

Although there are not many people in the class, when everyone sits back and introduces themselves, most of the class has passed. He Dayi doesn't care at all, but moves a stool and sits down next to the podium, and says slowly: "Since everyone is a selection of elites, the basic biological knowledge must be very good, and even the study and understanding of some aspects must be better than me, the old man, if I stand on the podium with a stern face and read the script, it will not only waste everyone's time, but also find it difficult to understand the blind spots of everyone's knowledge. Besides, we are training camps, so there is no need to be so formal, so we can be more flexible in form. As for me, sit here to ask questions. If you have any knowledge, raise your hand to answer. If you think you don't know, you can stand up and ask questions, and everyone will discuss together. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

He Dayi nodded: "The first question is that a kind of arbitrary virus has recently been experiencing violence in the Americas. This virus is called Zika virus. Who knows more about Zika virus?"

Someone immediately raised his hand: "Professor He, I know a little bit about this, so I will throw the bricks and attract jade!"

"Speaking."

"According to the Journal of Virology published earlier this year, Zika virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family, Flaviviridae, single-stranded Rna virus, with a diameter of about 2onm. It is an arbovirus transmitted by mosquitoes. The host is unclear and mainly circulates in wild primates and mosquitoes living in trees - such as Aedes african mosquitoes. The virus first appeared in rhesus monkeys in Zika jungles in Uganda through a yellow fever monitoring network in 1947, so it was named 'Zika virus'. Then in 1952, infection cases appeared in Uganda and ********** people..."

This guy said he was throwing bricks and causing me to attract jade, but he talked endlessly for more than ten minutes, turning the past and present of Zika virus into a complete set of things. Fortunately, everyone present knew that He Dayi was giving a temporary question, otherwise he would have thought he had checked the information for half a month to answer this question!

He Dayi praised: "It's very good, even I, a biology teacher, have nothing to add. It seems that you are very interested in virology. You understand it very deeply and thoroughly, and it is indeed a terrifying young man! Do you have anything to add or ask questions for? No? Let's talk about the second question. Now our country, Europe and the United States have invested heavily in brain science research. Brain science is the ultimate territory for humans to understand natural phenomena and humans themselves. It is not an exaggeration to call it the "last frontier of human science". Who would you say about this booming brain research project?"

"I!" As soon as the words fell, someone stood up. "Borrowed a sentence from the famous biologist Francis Crick who won the Sun Yuanqi Youth Scientist Award the previous year, "As humans, we can confirm galaxies several light years away. We can study particles smaller than atoms, but we still cannot reveal the mystery of three pounds of matter (referring to the brain) between the two ears, which makes us really unbearable. Because of this, a wave of brain science research has quickly set off among the great powers. my country's Jingshi University was the first to announce the launch of "human brain engineering" and jointly established the National Key Laboratory of Brain and Neuroscience in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and received 530 million national scientific research funds that year. The United States is also interested in brain science research, followed by the "brain research project". It is expected to invest a total of 4.5 billion US dollars in the next 12 years...."

OK, this guy is even more able to say that he can speak in half an hour in a silence. He stopped reluctantly in everyone's knife-like eyes. I guess if it weren't for the safety of his personal life, he could have turned the whole afternoon into a solo show!

With the two firsts, the people who answered the questions in the future all followed suit and would never give up until they were 20 or 30 minutes. This is like squeezing a bus. When it’s not my turn, I hope the people in front of me will finish it quickly so that I can have a chance to speak. Once it’s my turn, I immediately think what the people in the future are looking at? At least I can give me some time to do it! So He Dayi finally had to remind him "friendly": "Everyone should try to tell me as long as possible, after all, we have limited time!"

Classes started at 2:00 pm and ended at 6:30 pm. The atmosphere in the classroom has been very lively. From the dispute over gene editing ethics to the progress of aIds research, from biological invasion to endangered species conservation, almost all the hot and focused issues of current biological research. Although the speakers are polite, the listeners are also very excited, and many people still feel unsatisfied when they are over.

During these four and a half hours of discussion, most of the contents we talk about were not in the textbook, or even unheard or seen. So Jiang Shuiyuan was like Yao Ming and Guo Xiaosi kissing - it was not enough to speak at all, and often he was listening carefully. Only when everyone was discussing human gene editing, he asked He Dayi a question:

"Teacher He, through the Human Genome Project and a series of subsequent scientific research, it is found that mutations in the Lamina gene and defects in DNA repair function may be the main reasons for the occurrence and death of premature aging (full name "early aging syndrome"). Do you think gene editing technology can effectively treat premature aging?"

He Dayi pondered for a moment and replied: "I am not studying this direction, so it is really hard to answer you immediately. However, as far as I know, although DNA repair and gene editing are very popular, there are still many major problems that have not been solved, such as due to the lack of experimental methods, they prefer single-gene and static research. So far, no one has been able to clarify the similarities and differences of DNA review repair mechanisms under physiological and pathological conditions. Before these problems are solved, it is probably too early to answer whether gene editing can effectively treat a certain disease."

Jiang Shuiyuan sat down with a little disappointment, and He Dayi immediately added: "——Nevertheless, gene editing is still the most promising technical means to treat genetic diseases. As for these problems, they will eventually become the most dazzling ornament for successful people. The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory! I hope that you here can make up your mind, study hard, and climb to the top, not only to win honor for yourself, but also to solve the pain of illness for mankind!"

In addition to solid basic skills, these students in the room are more interested in biology. He is probably the only one in the class who is driven to the shelves like Jiang Shuiyuan. Now, when He Dayi is encouraged, they are all over the place. They are all over the place and want to bite their fingers and write blood books on the spot, determined to fight for biology for the rest of their lives!

The river water source is quite calm, but this scene still reminds him a lot.

When it comes to mastering the biology Olympiad's reference textbooks, he knows it well enough, and even says with his chest: Among everyone on the scene, if he is second to the next, no one dares to say first! But what can this happen? Once the scope of the textbook is released, he will immediately become an illiterate person who is ignorant of questions. He can only say, listen to, learn by himself!

The root of it lies in interest!

Interested people will not be satisfied with the records in the textbook, learning in class, and content taught by teachers. They will do everything possible to use the resources of the library and the Internet to actively learn, such as Zhang Jin and Shi Yang. They will also not be satisfied with the known, and will also actively explore the unknown, create brand new knowledge, satisfy their curiosity, and at the same time, they will be involved in the future.

People like me who are less interested and are forced to read some books may lead in a certain period of time, or may even obtain better staff and receive better education. But in the long run, even if they can read all tens of millions of pictures in the Jingshi University Library, what will happen? After all, it is just a "humanoid library" and "two-legged bookcase", what are the benefits of "two-legged bookcases"?

Thinking of this, the river water source fell into deep thought. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
