Chapter 496: Don't Say I'm a Bully
Downstairs at Beijing Normal University, more and more reporters received the news, and they waited and discussed the article in Nature.
"Hey, I said that this Mi can't afford to lose, right?" said a reporter with disdain, who had just revealed Evan Callaway's identity, "Seeing that their dream team lost, they began to suspect that we were using stimulants?
There was a chorus next to him, the men's basketball and men's football teams won enough to Chinese fans to remember for a lifetime, and they were happy to see someone blocking their hearts, "That's it, and it's not the first time they've lost, why didn't I see them post articles when they lost to Greece and Argentina before?"
Of course, there are also some spiritual foreigners who have different opinions, "If you want me to say that our country's swimming team and track and field team have had so many doping cases in the past, it's no wonder that people doubt themselves so much; I think when you see others criticizing you, you should first think about what you did wrong!"
"Then I'll slap you now, can you figure out if you have to do it there?" How could this sound uncomfortable, and someone immediately choked with him, "Do you think it's appropriate to publish such an article without any evidence?" Nature is a serious scientific journal, do you think it's your gossip tabloid?"
"Just remember the doping of Chinese athletes, don't the people of the United States eat less? They are the countries that use the most doping, Montgomery, Jones, Armstrong, the one who has never taken drugs? Why are you focusing on our athletes?"
"I'm going to be fair!" Well, someone used the classic opening sentence of pulling the bias, "When I saw Phelps win eight gold medals in a row, I was thinking, Damn, this guy is not a drug addict, right? Presumably, the people of the United States also think the same way when they see Professor Lu's performance! It's just that people in the United States have freedom of speech and allow such articles to be published, if I open up speech." I'm sure I'll write my doubts about Phelps in the newspaper!"
"As a media worker, it is the basic morality of a media practitioner to have a conscience and pursue facts! What is true of your doubts about Phelps? Freedom of speech is not nonsense! I don't think you are suitable to be a journalist at all, so you should write an online article! At least you can do whatever you want there!" His remarks also aroused a rebuttal.
The quarrel downstairs has a tendency to intensify, and some impulsively even rolled up their sleeves, but fortunately, Assistant Xiao Liu appeared in time to divert their attention, "Everyone, the conference room has been cleaned up, please show your documents and enter in order, Professor Lu will make a statement on this matter!"
Now they don't care about arguing. A swarm of people rushed to Xiao Liu's assistant, and when they entered the venue, they found that there were three young people sitting next to Lu Qiujian, and some of them who had paid attention to the Olympic report recognized one of them as Ye Chu, a staff member of the men's basketball team and the men's football coaching staff, but the other two did not know each other.
Seeing that the conference room was full, Lu Qiujian stopped talking nonsense and started to speak directly, "I think the purpose of everyone coming here should be the same, right? So I won't talk nonsense, I'll talk about my attitude towards this matter first!"
The scene was quiet for a short time. The reporters took out all kinds of guys to record Lu Qiujian's words, and Lu Qiujian said in a calm tone, "I used to think that Nature was one of the most influential and prestigious natural science journals in the industry, but I am sorry to see that it would publish such an almost undisguised biased article." Although it's just a press release. There is no peer review, no critical judges, but as a conduit for the public to access and understand science, authors and editors should at least provide readers with the right facts and the right context, which they clearly fail. ”
"How much is it to participate in ten games in 18 days?" asked Lu Qiujian rhetorically. "If we look at the NBA regular season, starting in November and ending in April, each team has to complete 82 games in just over five months. On average, it's more than two days! And that's all they have to do by plane to the cities!"
"And the Olympics only need to be held in Beijing! It will last less than 20 days! It is true that the physical exertion of a football game is a bit greater than that of a basketball game, but there are many players in the NBA who can complete all 82 games, and even the preseason and playoffs, and I only need to play 10 games in 18 days! This seems to be a little less physical exertion than those NBA players!"
"Kobe Bryant played in 82 regular season games last season, averaging 38.9 minutes per game and 21 playoff games, averaging 41.1 minutes per game!
"In my daily work and life, I also pay attention to maintaining my fitness, and my physical condition has always been very good, and my physical condition has been better than these NBA players who have worked hard for a whole season from the beginning! Besides, I have a urine test at the end of every game, and the results of the drug test center have proven my innocence!"
"I don't know why Mr. Evan Callaway is so skeptical, and why Nature published such an article that has no scientific value!" Lu Qiujian's voice became serious, "If I were just an athlete, maybe I would only be able to make a few soft protests!"
"But both Mr. Callaway and Nature seem to have forgotten that my job is a scientist! In the face of such a slander that concerns my reputation, I will fight back in a way that belongs to a scientist!" Lu Qiujian's words made the scene boil suddenly, it seems that this time I have caught the big news! How will Professor Lu fight back?
"First!" Lu Qiujian held up a finger, "In view of the low-quality articles published in Nature, I can think that this journal has lost its original level, so I hereby solemnly declare that from now on, I and my team will not submit even one article to Nature! I also refuse to comment on any articles published in Nature!"
"Second, I will refute Mr. Calaway's article one by one from a scientific point of view!" Lu Qiujian shrugged, "Of course, it would be a bit too bullying if I did it myself!, so I plan to hand this matter over to my students!" Lu Qiujian stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Chu and the others. (To be continued.) )
PS: Push this friend's book "Overseer", a different late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China text: the people are still also, the country is still also, there is no distinction between north and south
All in all, in general, not a thing
This is the best of times, and some people use their blood and lives to realize their dreams and find a way out for the country.
These are the worst times, and many people don't see where hope is, and before them, there is nothing but darkness.
In such a big era, a small person from the market braved the wind and waves and sang all the way.
The head of the city changes the banner of the king,
Who cherishes the dry bones by the river.
Mistaken fate and laughter go wildly,
Warm wine chess in front of Xuanyuan's tomb.
