2009.8.10 Email

Dear Professors,

I enclose my research brief from this week in the mail, so please take a look at it. My PhD dissertation is still in the final stages of finalization and is expected to be sent to you in the middle of next week.

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

This week I continued to experiment with the adsorption properties of photocatalytic materials, but the data I got was not ideal, and I needed to improve the protocol. I will be sure to submit my paper before the deadline, so please rest assured.

I have sent you my PhD dissertation last week and am waiting for your reply. But it was reckless to suddenly remember that you might be on vacation in Europe, and that I shouldn't bother you at this time. Wishing you and your family a great holiday season and getting back in touch once school starts.

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

Thank you for your valuable comments, I have submitted my paper, don't worry. I also beg you to give me some suggestions for my doctoral dissertation, and I am going to concentrate on preparing for the defense.

In addition, Miss Sullivan told me about the salary increase next semester, thank you very much for your care and care for me, but I will return to China next semester and there is no need for me to raise my salary. Before returning home, I will submit another paper, this is our agreement, and I will not forget it.

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

This week, I was working on the PPT for the defense and sorting out the previous experimental data, so I mainly stayed in the research room and did not go to the laboratory.

As for my PhD dissertation, although it is based on the journal papers I have published, I believe that there are certainly some deficiencies in it, so I would very much like you to make some suggestions. The schedule is getting tighter and tighter, please understand my feelings, I do have a little anxiety.

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

As soon as I received your email last week, I made revisions to my PhD thesis. You're right, I haven't thought enough about the effects of oxygen-energy bonding in the catalytic process, and I've made a change, so please take a look.

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

I spent most of the week in the hospital because of the severe flu and I felt guilty. At present, the body is almost recovered, and I can continue to do the experiment next week.

In addition, please indicate what are the shortcomings of the paper, and whether it can be mailed to the external reviewer.

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

I have a lot of questions about experiments with the photodegradation of silver phosphate. Although it has something to do with catalysis, it's not my specialty, and I've never done it before. There are a lot of people in the lab who work on the synthesis side, so why would you give me this task? Of course, if other people have a tight schedule, or if you have other plans, then I'm willing to try.

But to be honest, what I'm most worried about right now is my dissertation, which is about to be defended, so what the hell should I do now?

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

I have been talking to you about my graduation since last semester and have your permission. So, why can't I defend my graduation all of a sudden? I really can't understand it, and I can't accept it for a while, please explain.

Also, should the silver phosphate experiment continue?

I wish you all the best.

Dear Professors,

I can't accept your statement that "you haven't met the graduation requirements yet".

First of all, in the last semester, I got your permission to start putting together my graduation thesis.

Secondly, I have been communicating with you about graduation since August. If you don't think I met the graduation requirements, why didn't you tell me in advance?

Finally, during my master's and doctoral studies, I published six SCI papers as the first author and five SCI papers as a co-author, and my total impact factor score was also among the top compared to other PhDs who had graduated. Even so, did I still not meet the graduation requirements?

I'm not questioning your standards, I'm not arguing, I'm just trying to ask what I don't meet the graduation requirements.

Professor:

I had a really bad weekend and I couldn't accept the reality that I couldn't do my PhD defense.

I have mentioned to you more than once that I am the eldest daughter in my family, and I urgently need to go back to take care of my family.

I will always remember your kindness to me and I will do my best to repay me by writing a paper.

I have already told my family that I will return to China after completing my studies in the next semester. If I don't graduate this semester, I will be in agony and my family will be in the abyss of disappointment.

I beg you to give me a chance, I would like to meet with you.

Professor:

I'm not vexatious, I just want to find an opportunity to meet with you and hear what you think. If I don't meet the graduation requirements, I'm willing to stay for another semester. But before that, could you tell me what the hell is the problem?

***

Compel?

If you want to understand it this way, then I will not deny it, I will just persecute you again.

You said you were on a business trip to Japan recently, but I still see you in the restaurant today, why are you telling me such a lie and avoiding meeting me?

I was very disappointed and, moreover, very angry.

I've been sick lately, and the experiment on silver phosphate can't be carried out, so please forgive me.

***

.6

Am I dragging my feet for the whole experiment?

Because of me, the experiment has not progressed for a long time?

After November, you never mentioned the silver superphosphate experiment again. I thought you had given it to someone else, or given up on the project, and never thought you would let me continue working on it.

Professor, I'm really tired right now and can't do experiments that I've never tried.

***

.7

I repeat, lately I have been commuting to and from the hospital. At present, I have a big problem with my physical state and mental state, and I cannot continue to support my research.

I was indeed taking my salary from the lab, and I took a lot of leave, and I did feel guilty, so please ask Miss Sullivan to deduct it from my salary.

***

.10

Yesterday I went back to the research room, but the vertigo was very bad, and I was in a coma on the table for a short time. Experimenting in this state is indeed a bit dangerous, so please forgive me.

***

.12

I'm also very anxious about the progress of the experiment, but please don't rush me anymore, and I will return to the lab as soon as my health improves.

***

.15

I'm a little fed up and want to apply to drop out.

Of course, promise your essay that before I withdraw from school, I will submit it.

This is my promise, I will do it, please give me a little more time.

Yes, I don't care anymore. I'm so tired that I'm not thinking about graduating with a Ph.D. yet.

Even if I can't get my degree, I want to go back to my home country.

I didn't want to explain anymore, so after writing the paper at hand, I went back to China.

I wish you all the best.

Qiao Nan and Wen Jing read all her emails during this time, and they all felt like they had a big dream.

"Sister Qiao Lu's boss is too unhuman, isn't it? Doesn't he just want to keep her and let her write a few more papers for the research lab? He even stopped her from graduating? This is simply disgusting!"

Qiao Nan slid the mouse, he was more worried about what happened in December - the battered sister fell ill, but her boss was still urging her to go back to the experiment, where is the human nature?

She is usually quiet and diligent, so her boss dares to go back on her word and use despicable means to keep her. But he never expected that Qiao Lu was an extremely strong girl, she was treated unfairly, and she had to fight back, even if her years of hard work were burned, she had to live with courage.

Judging from her boss's reply, he was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Qiao Lu to have the courage to drop out of school at all. Qiao Lu is a thesis machine, if she doesn't graduate, doesn't she just want her to produce more results? If she drops out, where can she find such a capable machine?

My sister can't drop out of school, so many years of hard work can't be in vain. Qiao Nan thought hard, and said to his girlfriend: "Let's keep it secret from my sister first, I want to think about how to tell her." ”

Early the next morning, Qiao Lu bought breakfast first, Qiao Nan ate and pretended to ask casually: "Sister, have you ever thought about doing a doctoral job in the research room for half a year after graduation?"

"Nope. Qiao Lu replied crisply: "I don't want to stay in that broken place for a day." ”

"But after all, you're taking the money from the research room, if you don't do a PhD, they will definitely have an opinion!"

Qiao Lu peeled the eggs for her younger brother and said, "The results I produce have long been worthy of the wages they paid me." If I continue to do PhD, I may really die of overwork!"

That's the same, he doesn't want his sister to continue to go back and suffer. But with a PhD at hand, wouldn't it be a shame if you couldn't get it?

In the evening, Qiao Lu went to her classmates again to do experiments, and Qiao Nan followed with a ghost. My sister didn't go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, nor did she ask her classmates to do experiments, she went straight into a bubble tea shop.

Qiao Nan was in a cold sweat on his forehead, he thought that his sister was just going in to buy a cup of milk tea, but he glanced out the door, but saw his sister skillfully putting on an apron and facing every guest with a smile.

Everything she said was false, a dignified Stanford Ph.D. student actually worked as a waiter in this bubble tea shop.
