Chapter 471 Rhetorical question
"In this way, let's have a ten-day rest? Then have a meeting." Professor Cai looked at the table and said, "The meeting will be held for another hour. All the people who asked questions and answered will prepare well."
The professors stood up and left the venue, gathered together, discussing the topic just now with each other. Inside and outside the conference room, they were suddenly covered with messy colonies like a petri dish.
Professor Cai went out slowly, his ears were filled with various comments about potassium channels, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Such situations are rare. Although potassium channels are the frontier and hot spots of biological research, they are like a world war. The frontier and hot spots are not unchanged, nor are they the only ones. So many people participated and the discussion was quite in-depth, even during the conference.
"Yang Rui's driving ability is quite powerful." Professor Cai came to Tang Ji and said in a low voice.
Tang Ji was very proud and said, "Yang Rui's point-to-point accuracy, and solving problems tends to be universal, which is very rare."
It is also about solving a problem. A specific solution may solve the problem, but it only depends on solving the problem, and its influence is limited. The pursuit of scientific research has always been universal problem solving. We hope to solve a large number of problems through one problem.
However, universal solutions to problems cannot be achieved overnight. Some problems may take decades or even hundreds of years to solve them universally.
Professor Cai nodded and said, "The research on potassium channels is at the forefront of the world. This is a very impressive thing, and he is only 20 years old."
"Young age is an advantage in scientific research, but when you strive for scientific research conditions, it becomes a disadvantage." Tang Jiong spoke to Yang Rui from the side.
Professor Cai smiled and said, "We have provided as good conditions as possible. Besides, Yang Rui is still a freshman this year, so we can't do much."
"Some 20-year-old students in foreign universities have all studied for a doctorate. Now our teaching method is backward, so we can't punish Yang Rui for this."
"No one punishes him." Professor Cai pretended not to understand.
Professor Tang smiled and changed direction: "The report of our Department of Biology this year is getting better. The research on potassium channel has reached the world-class level and has made breakthrough progress. This is the only one in Beijing universities."
"There seems that there are also students who have published top papers in Tsinghua Biology Department, but this year it is probably the competition between our two schools."
"There are also Tsinghua University? Now the students are amazing." Tang Ji sighed and said, "When we just graduated from university, we went to the countryside to help farmers. Now, thinking about it, it's a waste of time."
Professor Cai was the principal after all, so he shook his head and said, "Why is it a waste of time to help farmers?"
"Why isn't it a waste of time? If I had made enzyme preparations ten years earlier and earned money to the country, I don't know how many cows or tractors I could buy, that would be really helping farmers. Unlike us, we would have to live in the homes of fellow villagers and eat from fellow villagers, and we would have to get a monthly salary."
Professor Cai smiled without saying anything, and did not follow Tang to say these politically incorrect words.
Tang Ji also caused trouble and said: "Now think about it, the scientific research work in our country is really difficult to start. In fact, I went to the research institute at that time and was not qualified to develop enzyme preparations. The school has so much annual funding, and there are many designated research tasks. I have no conditions to continue doing half of the research before. What qualifications are we young people, do you think it is?"
"Remembering bitterness and thinking sweetness?" Professor Cai smiled.
"That's right, our current conditions are better. We should no longer concentrate all our resources on old comrades like before. We should give young people a chance so that young people can grow up, don't you?"
Tang Ji was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, pointed at Tang Ji, and sighed: "You old Tang, you are really attentive to Yang Rui. Why are you ready to recruit a son-in-law?"
"If my daughter is 18 years old this year, I will immediately make a marriage contract for him. Yang Rui's child has a bright future. Let's help him. What step can he do when he reaches our age? It's not too rare for you."
"If he doesn't care, that's the best." Professor Cai couldn't help but feel moved.
Ten minutes of rest time, I didn't feel anything.
?Yang Rui landed at the end and watched the others go in before he went in and sat down.
His mood was calm.
On the one hand, he has a knowledge system that exceeds the times and systematic learning has brought him into contact with all aspects of biology. The content of potassium channels and proteins is the focus of his recent self-study. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be comprehensive, it is guaranteed that there is no directional error.
As for details, it is not important if it does not affect the research itself. It is like a Chinese professor sometimes writes typos. To lay people, it seems that they can smile, but for people in the circle, that's what's the big deal.
Associate Professor Wei, Professor Fu and others who had just proposed to think were also quite hesitant.
Asking questions is also a skill. Even if you don’t need to answer the questions yourself, you can’t ask a question that can be asked if you don’t have the ability to do so.
A middle school student came up with a calculus question, and it was not easy to be able to write the right question.
The same is true for biology. Industry insiders who lag behind cutting-edge science, such as many middle school biology teachers, no longer care about or contact the latest research after graduation. Perhaps even the latest exclusive terms are wrong, so how can the Q&A be carried out?
Of course, there are some differences in cutting-edge fields, because there are many problems and the areas are very complex. However, in front of so many people, Professor Fu can't ask a question that no one can answer.
Anyone can ask Hawking the question "Where are aliens?", but how Hawking answered has nothing to do with his research level.
The field discussed now is also restrictive, either the problem of analyzing the structure of potassium channels or the relationship between proteins.
When analyzing the structure of potassium channel, Yang Rui is obviously at the world-class level. The papers in top journals are not published casually. His performance just now and the references that cannot be written on the back of the paper all make Yang Rui shrouded a halo.
"Yang Rui, you said that the new laboratory will carry out research on protein interactions. I want to ask a few questions about this." Associate Professor Wei spoke first, and he decided not to continue with the problem of potassium channel.
Associate Professor Wei himself is actually watching the location of this new laboratory, and he has a strong research ability in terms of potassium channels. However, his research in this area is obviously not as deep as Yang Rui.
Without being able to ask Yang Rui, Associate Professor Wei and others decided to start with protein.
"You can't study both aspects of Yang Rui." This is the conclusion they came to during the discussion.
Associate Professor Wei did not wait for Yang Rui's answer, and looked down at the prompt card he had just prepared and said, "I want to talk about a few classic questions. The first one is like this. Yang Rui, the yeast two-hybrid technology you mentioned just now. As we all know, the most troublesome thing about this technology. There are some new solutions at present, and I want to hear your judgment."
This problem itself is not difficult, but Associate Professor Wei does not mention the solutions, but Yang Rui needs to accumulate it on weekdays.
If Yang Rui said he didn't understand, he naturally did not understand the interacting proteins enough. Although it was a bit difficult, it was just a ball of edges and could not be said to be crossing the line. After all, he had only been resting for ten minutes just now. Even though Associate Professor Wei and others had a discussion, this was the knowledge that popped up from other people's heads and was not considered difficult.
Regarding this knowledge alone, Yang Rui is indeed not capable, but the amount of information stored in his mind is so huge. After searching for a few monographs, Yang Rui calmed down and talked happily: "If you are talking about localizing the interacting proteins in the nucleus and ensuring the activation of reporter genes, I think the difficulty is that the proteins on the membrane are difficult to analyze with technical means, and perhaps there should be some improvement in the solution..."
Speaking of this, Yang Rui paused for a moment, hesitating whether he should tell the improvement plan.
However, Associate Professor Wei was already retreating from listening.
Everyone knows this way, and if you continue to discuss it, it is really possible that you will lose your wife and your army.
Seeing that the opening was just now, there was a possibility of a cold show, Professor Fu gritted his teeth and rushed forward, saying, "I want to talk about how to avoid interference from endogenous bait proteins."
Yang Rui listened quietly to his question and frowned slightly: "Actually, the key is how to get enough recombinant fusion proteins to maintain protein activity."
There was a slight laughter around.
Professor Fu's face turned red. He was a RNA researcher and his understanding of protein was indeed not detailed enough.
At this time, Professor Wei had repaired it again and went back to rescue Professor Fu.
Two minutes later, Professor Wei died heroically again.
Another associate professor rushed up without hesitation.
Professor Wei clenched his fists under the table and started cheering on himself. The so-called "food is the buyer". These associate professors are all people who are very interested in the new laboratory. If they want to treat Yang Rui as a puppet, they must defeat him first.
The associate professor who rushed forward without hesitation was defeated faster.
Fortunately, Associate Professor Wu, who had worked with Professor Wei many times this time, was ready. He grabbed Yang Rui's answer just now and launched a fierce offensive.
And then...heroic again.
Yang Rui's answer was even sharper, and his impact gradually became stronger.
Professor Wei clearly felt the momentum that Yang Rui had accumulated again.
"Even if you can't defeat it, it's better to defeat it once." Professor Wei clenched his fists again, and in the next few minutes, he tried to ask questions again.
But his preparations were even worse this time, and Yang Rui's answer was even more light.
Professor Wei suddenly felt very hurt.
The questions I carefully prepared were answered. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, but my questions were ignored by the other party, that was sad.
The number of injured associate professors gradually increased, and the number of questions asked gradually decreased.
"Even if you ask him once!" Professor Wei's fist was about to burst.
However, although he worked hard to cheer, he was reluctant to come forward and ask questions.
A few minutes later, the cold scene reappeared.
Professor Wei's eyes were red in an anxious manner.
"I would like to discuss the way to encode the gene of the protein of interest."
In an anxious state, someone asked a question again, which made Professor Wei shout "Good luck" in his heart and looked to the left.
The person who asked the question was - Yang Rui!
Professor Wei's expression is almost frozen?
Not only him, but the associate professors who were full of passion just now and were now sluggish, almost all looked surprised and inexplicably surprised.
"Didn't you mean two-way choice? I should be able to ask questions, too." Yang Rui pointed to his nose and asked the host Professor Cai.
Professor Cai suddenly felt a little funny, and coughed in concealment before saying, "Of course."
