Chapter 774: A Line of Itself!
There are less than two months left until June.
Candidates who are interested in running for academicians have already submitted basic materials of 3,000 words one after another, and are quietly waiting for the start of the first round of evaluation in each department.
Of course, in this tranquility, there was somewhat a taste of the prelude to the storm.
Although the first round of judging is not the main battlefield for the big guys to "fight" each other, various lobbying work and clique formation have already begun. Which mentor set up a dinner today, and tomorrow will be a junior who has never met to visit.
Some people enjoyed it and never refused to come, while others were so annoyed that they simply signed up for academic conferences and flew abroad.
The entire academic world is undercurrent surging, just like a river and lake.
No, to be precise, this is Jiang Hu.
Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, PLA General Hospital, Laboratory of Cellular Low Temperature Medicine.
Two scientific research dogs standing in front of the refrigerated incubator are happily doing experiments.
Compared with domestic colleges and universities, the name of PLA General Hospital sounds awesome, and its status in the industry is indeed awesome. However, the influence of the two hospitals may not be comparable to other colleges and universities.
The reason is obvious, just like why the Academy of Sciences with more academicians "can't win" the two schools of Yanda and Aurora in the selection of academicians of the Faculty of Mathematics.
Often the more mixed the people are, the more serious the factional struggles are. Everyone comes from all over the world, so they may not see themselves as wearing the same pants as you.
Compared with people from other factions, everyone is of course more inclined to cultivate people from their own faction.
Let alone academia, any public institution has more or less bureaucratic remnants, and some things are unavoidable.
In contrast, the research dogs in the Cell Low Temperature Medicine Laboratory are quite happy.
If nothing else, their mentor, Director Liu, probably has no hope for this round.
The selection of academicians is actually a matter of randomness, and Director Liu himself is probably aware of this, so he has not handed in the 3,000-word materials until now, and he has not even started the relationship with walking.
After all, things like lobbying and canvassing, whether elected or not, are all due to favors.
Not to mention whether it is worthwhile to owe favors, he has been defeated twice before.
It is said that if he loses the election three times in a row, according to the regulations, one round of candidacy will be suspended, and the materials submitted before can no longer be used. At the same time, according to the unwritten rules, or rules, in the academic world, after being defeated three times, it will be very difficult to be elected again...
Even some big cows are no exception.
It was also because of this that several of his students were able to stand on the sidelines and watch this co-option as if they were watching a play. Instead of being dragged to drink by the instructor like other scientific research dogs...
Song Siyuan: "This co-option of academicians is very interesting."
Zhuo Ruicai: "How do you say?"
Song Siyuan: "Have you read the list of the first round of primary election announced by the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
Zhuo Ruicai asked without knowing it: "I have seen it, is there any question?"
"In previous years, the co-option of academicians was a fight between gods and gods. Old institutions like Jinling University, where the average age of academicians is over 70 years old and the mainstay is almost ready to retire, hardly see any names appearing on the primary selection list."
Although the number of academicians of Jinling University ranks among the top three in the country, the aging population is serious. Even the strong professional physics has not been elected as an academician for a long time.
However, this year's session has swept away the decline. Many names of young scholars from Jinda University have emerged on the primary list. Suddenly, there is some momentum to return to the top.
Zhuo Ruicai: "What's so strange about this? It would be strange if Professor Lu, a talented person from the Department of Jinda University, can't get up! Don't say that Jinda University's heritage is still there, even if It’s a second school standing on the wind, I’m afraid it can fly to the sky.”
Song Siyuan shook his head and said, "I can't say that completely."
Zhuo Ruicai: "What else can I say?"
Song Siyuan smiled, and said in a straightforward manner: "Professor Lu is from the Department of Mathematics of Jinda University, but do you think this small temple of Jinda University can accommodate him? He can't be counted in Jinda University's department for a long time! Jinda can have Today, although Professor Lu has achieved it, it is inseparable from the accumulation of more than ten years of it to get to this point."
Being confused a little bit, Zhuo Rui asked in a daze: "Then what department do you think he belongs to?"
He can only be regarded as a newcomer in the academic world. Although he is in the circle, he doesn't really understand these gossips that only people in the circle understand.
Song Siyuan gave the junior a sideways glance: "You can see the votes for the co-election of academicians this time."
Zhuo Siyuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"I can't see it. After all, it can't be the Jin High Court, right?"
Although the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has been in the limelight recently, under the leadership of Professor Lu, it has made many outstanding achievements and published many high-quality papers. Periodicals in the major districts frequently brush their faces.
Not only that, because of its relaxed academic atmosphere and sufficient financial support, many scholars who aspire to return to China regard this as their first ambition.
But even so, it is a bit unrealistic for the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study to be a faction in the academic world alone?
After all, the time from its establishment to the present is still too short.
Looking at the bewildered junior brother, Song Siyuan sighed with emotion and said four words slowly.
"Self-contained!"
Sitting beside him writing a report, the low-level scientific research dog who was completely unable to participate in the topic showed a hint of shock and fascination on his face.
sui generis...
I am afraid that there is only one person in the domestic academic circles!
Zhuo Ruicai also showed a fascinated expression on his face.
"It will be great when our mentor is also so awesome."
"You mean Old Liu?" Looking at his junior, Song Siyuan said with a dumbfounded smile, "Don't even think about it, for those who are in this unpopular direction like ours, they are already top-tier talents who can become Changjiang Scholars, so be content!"
Although he did not deny that Director Liu Zuobing, that is, his mentor, was an outstanding scholar, but the title of academician is not enough just to be outstanding.
If there is no accident, at least within ten years, Changjiang Scholars will be his ceiling.
But in fact, there is nothing to regret. Changjiang Scholars are already very powerful, and many people may not be able to get into this position in their lifetime. And if you can sit in this position, you can already be regarded as standing on the top level of the pyramid.
The door opened suddenly.
The two scientific research dogs immediately stopped talking.
Walking quickly into the laboratory, Director Liu Zuobing hurried to the side of the refrigerated incubator, glanced at the nematode cells cultivated in the cultivation room, and then immediately looked at his students and asked.
"How's the sample going?"
Song Siyuan immediately stood up straight and stammered.
"Still...alive."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something nonsense.
However, his mentor didn't seem to say anything about it, and he didn't even pay attention to the samples in the refrigerated incubator.
"Submit an observation report of the sample to me before tomorrow, and pack up immediately. We'll go to Jinling the day after tomorrow!"
Go to Jinling? !
what's the situation?
Doctors Song Siyuan and Zhuo Ruicai had bewildered expressions on their faces, as did the other scientific research dogs in the laboratory, who were all stunned at the moment.
Facing the bewilderment of his student, Professor Liu Zuobing took a deep breath and concealed the excitement in his tone with a serious tone.
"Just this morning, I received an invitation from Professor Lu to participate in the human dormancy freezing technology research group jointly established by Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and enterprises!"
"Human freezing and dormancy?" Song Siyuan suddenly became nervous, "But this topic... the recent trend of public opinion is not quite right, right?"
It is a serious issue when it comes to scientific ethics.
It’s okay if you don’t go online, but once you are listed, you can be impeached even if the title of academician is already worn on your head, let alone an academician!
However, facing such a risk, Professor Liu Zuobing did not hesitate at all, not even hesitation.
I saw him with a righteous expression on his face, and said seriously: "Scientific research always requires some sacrifices. For the sake of the country, I am willing to make sacrifices!"
Song Siyuan: "..."
Zhuo Ruicai: "..."
All the scientific research dogs: "..."
MMP...
Why don't you usually have such noble feelings?
Without reading the thoughts of the students, Professor Liu continued in a serious tone.
"I have already applied to the institute to participate in the human cryogenic dormancy project team of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. The institute is also very supportive of my decision, let us leave for Jinling as soon as possible to support the century-old plan of the national aerospace project!"
Feeling that it would be a little bad if he didn't respond at this time, Song Siyuan nodded woodenly and said.
"……Yes."
To be honest, he is still a little bit blinded by now.
It's not because of human body freezing and dormancy, after all, his mentor has shown interest in such subjects more than once...
However, he still did not expect that his mentor would choose to participate in this project at this critical point in time.
As for what to say for the century-old plan of aerospace engineering...
It's too far-fetched!
This thing may be useful to the director, after all, supporting the national strategy can be regarded as a political achievement, but it is meaningless to scholars like them who take the academic route.
However……
Looking at the expression on Lao Liu's face, it seems that he is more excited than being elected as an academician?
What the hell is going on...
Watching the tutor leave the laboratory quickly, the two scientific research dogs standing next to the refrigerated incubator were silent for a while, and then exchanged glances.
The Adam's apple moved, and Song Siyuan spoke with some difficulty.
"Fuck, old Liu, he doesn't plan to run for this academician?"
Zhuo Rui swallowed his spit.
After thinking for a long time, I only thought of one sentence to say.
"Professor Lu is amazing..."
