Chapter 408: Academician
Ye Chu's confession was successful, and Lu Qiujian's dinner here was also coming to an end, just when he was about to go home, Professor Zhang and Director Guo of the Department of Physics of Beijing Normal University came up at the same time.
"Yo, Lao Guo, do you have something to do with Xiao Lu?" Professor Zhang looked at Director Guo, and the implication was that he would talk about it tomorrow if he had something, and I would talk to Xiao Lu today.
"Yes, Xiao Lu and I have something to talk about, Professor Zhang, if you are busy, go back first!" Director Guo pretended not to understand what he meant, and choked Professor Zhang with one sentence.
"I have something to do, too! I think my business is also very important!" Professor Zhang retorted not to be outdone, he had already guessed Director Guo's purpose, so he naturally refused to back down.
"Two, why don't we sit down together!The tearoom downstairs shouldn't have gotten off work yet!" Lu Qiujian saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Professor Zhang and Director Guo both knew that they couldn't avoid each other in this matter, so they suspended the dispute and went downstairs to the tearoom with Lu Qiujian.
"Bring me a pot of black tea, black tea warms my stomach, it's best to drink this in winter! Xiao Lu can also drink black tea with me!" Professor Zhang took the lead in sitting down and greeted the waiter.
"I drink green tea, green tea can refresh the mind, and it is very good for us who do scientific research! Xiao Lu, you should drink this!"
"You can bring me a cup of flower tea!" Lu Qiujian also took this opportunity to express his attitude, if there is something to say, I will not immediately fall to either side.
After a while, the tea was served, and the three of them each held their own pot of tea and savored it, and finally Professor Zhang couldn't help but speak first, "Xiao Lu, it's 2007 soon, do you know what's going on next year?"
"What's the big deal?" Lu Qiujian had already vaguely guessed a little, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked.
"The biennial election of academicians is about to start again! Xiao Lu, our Department of Physics of Beijing Normal University plans to apply you as a candidate!" Professor Zhang was robbed of by Director Guo as soon as he sold the guanzi. "Xiao Lu, you have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and with the influence of our Beijing Normal University, you will definitely be selected!"
"Hey, it's a coincidence, our Department of Mathematics is also planning to report Xiao Lu to the school! Xiao Lu, there are many academicians in the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University, as long as you agree to sign up, I will help you with other things!" Professor Zhang began to take care of everything, as he had already said, Beijing Normal University is the most influential faction in the field of mathematics. With them pushing Luqiu to build it, and with the Fields Medal achievements, it is basically impossible for him to lose the selection.
"Well, two, I don't seem to meet the qualifications for the declaration of academicians, right?" Lu Qiujian recalled the requirements for the selection of academicians, and the academicians of the two academies are co-opted every two years, and next year is the year of the co-optation.
The requirements for this highest academic title established by China are that the candidates have a decent style of study, love for the motherland, have Chinese nationality, and foreigners can serve as foreign academicians, and have made systematic and creative achievements in the field of science and technology. Generally, it is required to have at least the second prize of the National Science and Technology Award, the second prize of the Natural Science Award, a senior expert in a certain field, and a senior professional title such as professor, senior engineer, researcher, etc.
Lu Qiujian thought about it, he met all the conditions in front of him, but in terms of the senior title of the last item, he had just returned to China. Neither professors, senior engineers, nor researchers have received it, which is really inconsistent!
"You don't have to worry about this at all, I'm ready for you!" the two of them said in unison again, looking at each other or Professor Zhang to grab the right to speak. "On behalf of the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University, I invite you to be a visiting professor of Beijing Normal University! I don't need you to take up teaching tasks on weekdays, you just need to come to our school from time to time to give lectures! In this way, the title is not a problem at all!"
Director Guo was speechless, it seemed that he was thinking of the same method; Lu Qiujian was actually very interested in the title of academician. Because academicians symbolize status and influence, even if they are scientists of the same level, one serves as an academician and the other does not serve as an academician, the resources that the two of them can call on are not at the same level at all.
In later generations, when a highly respected scientist with outstanding achievements was asked why she did not compete for academicians, she said, "What are you doing to fight for that, it's too tiring, just do my own research!" As soon as this statement came out, it aroused a wave of appreciation, and everyone deeply applauded her for her high demeanor.
However, if you don't fight for academicians, you won't be able to get a lot of resources, and if you don't have resources, how can you smoothly carry out research? The title of academician is not only a name, but also a benefit! It is precisely for this reason that all kinds of scandals have been constantly exposed in the selection of academicians, and after each session of the selection of academicians, some media will cry out for the unsuccessful candidates.
However, in most cases, those who can be elected academicians are scientists with considerable strength; if the score line for academicians is drawn above 90 points, then there may be people with 98 points who are not selected, but very few people with 60 or 70 points can get in, for example, the chief engineer of a monopoly department in later generations was directly blocked from the Academy of Sciences.
Lu Qiujian should also have a corresponding identity if he wants to preside over the Xihe plan, and the administrative level is solved by the elder group, but the academic status cannot be ignored, and the academician is a suitable identity;
"Later, I will complete the procedures for you as a visiting professor, and then nominate you to participate in the co-optation of academicians of the two academies in the name of the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University!" Professor Zhang said happily.
"Why do you want to use the name of the Department of Mathematics?" Director Guo didn't agree again, "Although Xiao Lu studied in the Department of Mathematics before, he is now mainly engaged in research in the field of physics, and if he wants to be nominated, it should be nominated by our Department of Physics!"
"Xiao Lu studied in your physics department?" Professor Zhang retorted, "No, right?
"Two, two, don't fight!" Lu Qiujian persuaded, "Aren't mathematics and physics both in the same department in the Academy of Sciences?
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is divided into six departments, namely the Department of Mathematical Physics, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Life Science and Medicine, the Department of Geosciences, the Department of Information Technology Science, and the Department of Technical Science.
"Of course there is a difference!" the two of them looked back at the same time, "Although they both belong to the Department of Mathematics and Physics, the fields they have been selected for are still very different!" This is the biggest reason for their dispute. (To be continued.) )
