Chapter 163: Participate in the Challenge Cup
I have to say that after Mu Xueran's words and deeds yesterday afternoon, Ren Mengxin completed a three-step layup very standardly, and shot 8 shots at a fixed point, which is a good result among girls.
Ren Mengxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Mu Xueran with a smile: "Hehe, fortunately, I passed." ”
Mu Xueran raised her eyebrows and quipped, "Then how are you going to thank me?"
Ren Mengxin hugged Mu Xueran's arm and said, "Please eat wife noodles at night." ”
Mu Xueran chuckled, "I still have something to do after class, wife, you owe it first." ”
"Well, I'll remember. ”
............
After class, Ren Mengxin returned to the dormitory, Mu Xueran did not forget that He Xiaomeng had something to do with her, and went to Shaw Building.
There were no laboratory classes in her freshman year of biology, and this was her first time in Shaw Building.
Outside the 708 door, Mu Xueran knocked on the door.
The next second, a female voice came from inside, "Please come in." ”
Mu Xueran pushed the door in, this is a laboratory, and various reagents and large and small instruments are neatly placed on the shelves and storage cabinets on both sides of the laboratory table.
He Xiaomeng was talking about something with the two girls, and there was a tall boy on the side.
Seeing Mu Xue Ran coming in, He Xiaomeng beckoned to her, and then said to the three people in front of her: "You guys first think about the most appropriate separation method." ”
...
He Xiaomeng took Mu Xueran to the desk inside, motioned for her to sit next to her, and then turned on the computer.
"I applied for a project before, which is about Alzheimer's disease, which is what we often call Alzheimer's disease, and there are some relatively basic experiments in the early stage, and I plan to let you undergraduates do it. ”
He Xiaomeng pointed to the three people in front of the experimental table, and said, "A few of them over there are sophomores and juniors in the same major as you, my boss is busy, and I brought them to the open experiments."
They plan to use their preliminary research to participate in the 'Challenge Cup' college students' extracurricular academic work competition, and the proposal report has passed the proofreading and selection, and the next step is the provincial competition. ”
"I want you to participate too, firstly, to train yourself, and secondly, to have such an experience is also beneficial to your future development, if you can enter the national competition and get the ranking, it will be better. What do you think?"
Mu Xueran thought that she usually had plenty of spare time, instead of reading some theoretical books, it was better to follow the experiments in person, and besides, didn't she choose this major because she wanted to get in touch with more fields that she was not familiar with?
At this time, He Xiaomeng said again: "I don't know if your teacher told you that the sophomore year will open an open experimental course, that is, you should choose your own tutor in advance and follow the tutor to do some undergraduate experiments." ”
"Not yet. "If the teacher said it, Ren Mengxin would tell her.
"That should be soon, before the end of the freshman year, you have to decide on a mentor, if you want to participate in the challenge cup I just mentioned, then you can choose my boss, so that it is considered to be doing an open experiment. ”
Mu Xueran nodded, "Yes." ”
He Xiaomeng smiled, held the mouse and opened a presentation on the desktop, sliding the scroll wheel with his middle finger to find a picture.
While moving the mouse to circle the picture with an arrow, he said: "This is the process of the competition, the provincial competition will be held at the end of September, and if you get the first prize or the second prize, you can enter the national competition, and the national competition is in November." So you have to start collecting and consulting relevant literature now, come up with a set of feasible experimental methods, and hurry up the experiment, but don't delay the final exam, it is very likely that you will stay here during the summer vacation, you have to be prepared. ”
Mu Xueran nodded, "Okay, I should be free during the summer vacation." ”
He Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows, "Okay, I'll introduce you to their topic first." ”
As he spoke, he closed the presentation window and opened a Word document on his desktop.
"Studies at home and abroad have determined that changes in the gut microbiota will have an impact on Alzheimer's disease, and you only need to study the gut microbiota, and then my work will follow. ”
"The sample of the intestinal flora has been processed, and all you have to do is to culture, isolate, purify, and identify it to get at least six strains, and then extract the DNA sequences and do blast analysis to further determine what these six strains are. Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"I guess I understand, but what is Blast analysis?"
"Do you know NCBI?National Center for Biotechnology Information, which is a biological information website, which contains the protein and nucleic acid sequences of all known strains, and input the sequences you get into them, and through comparison, which known strain sequence is the most similar, it is likely which strain. ”
Mu Xueran nodded.
"I'll send you the relevant literature first, there are a few similar experiments, you can go back and take a good look. ”
"Hmm. ”
After sending the document, He Xiaomeng got up, put his hand on Mu Xueran's shoulder, and said, "Okay, I'll introduce you to each other first." ”
...
Walking to the experimental table, He Xiaomeng clapped her hands and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, let me introduce to you, this is Mu Xueran, a freshman, majoring in biology, and she will follow you to do experiments in the future." ”
Then, He Xiaomeng introduced to Mu Xueran: "Qu Xiaolin and the only boy in your team, Wu Zixing (xíng), are both sophomores, and Zhou Ying is juniors. ”
Mu Xueran nodded and said politely, "Hello." ”
"Elementary school girl is good. Qu Xiaolin is a lively person, and she waved her hand very enthusiastically.
The other two also smiled and said, "Hello." ”
"I'll pull Dye Dye into the group later, and if you have anything to do in the future, you will discuss it in the group. After speaking, He Xiaomeng said to Mu Xueran again: "Come with me next door and meet your future mentor." ”
"Hmm. ”
In the 706 next door, in addition to Yu Yang, there was also a strange middle-aged man, I saw that his hair was slightly gray, leaning on the back of the chair unkemptly, looking at the screen with one hand on his cheeks, and sliding the mouse with the other.
Yu Yang heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head, saw Mu Xueran, and said with a smile: "Dyeing is here." ”
Mu Xueran didn't expect Yu Yang to be there, the two of them studied and worked, and they were all in the same office, how happy.
Maybe after she graduates, it would be good to be a personal secretary for Emperor Jiuxiao.
Mu Xue hooked her lips, "Brother-in-law." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man also turned his head, although there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it was not difficult to see that he was also a handsome guy when he was young.
Tan Xianglei glanced at Mu Xueran and asked Yu Yang opposite, "She is the national champion of this year's year? What is the matter? ”
"Teacher Tan, this is Mu Xueran. He Xiaomeng introduced: "Dyeing and dyeing, this is my little boss, Mr. Tan Xianglei." ”
Mu Xueran smiled slightly and said politely, "Teacher Tan is good." ”
"Hello," Tan Xianglei said to He Xiaomeng again: "You said to recommend someone to me, it's her." ”
"Yes, I've added her name to the application materials for the Challenge Cup, and the sophomore open experiment has also asked her to follow you. ”
