Yang Rui is also very interested in the conditions offered by Tobyls. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

$300,000 is indeed not much, but it is all US dollar foreign exchange.

Moreover, this money is not much for Yang Rui, not really much.

Converted into RMB, how can it be used as 1.8 million. If you put it on any one or more researchers in the ion channel lab, you will be half dead with excitement.

More importantly, the money released by Tobyles on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy opened a new door for Yang Rui.

Nowadays, there are still not many foreign laboratories that can get funding from the Americans, and there are not many laboratories in Europe. And there is such a thing as funding, it actually has inertia.

In a sense, finding funding for a scholar is like looking for a job, the first job is very difficult, and you have to come up with too many things to prove yourself, such as academic qualifications, grades, awards, certificates......

However, when you get your first job, if you want to find a second job, you don't need to prove it in a boring precedent, you just need to prove your achievements in your first job.

For the proud Americans of the 80s, an Asian's academic qualifications, experience, and academic abilities were not important, but rather an injection of American money, which would make people wonder why.

If there is a corresponding result, it will be much easier to get a second dollar funding.

Whether it is the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Foundation or private donors, Yang Rui, who has received U.S. funding, will see Yang Rui as an ordinary and normal candidate, rather than an Asian scholar who doesn't know what is going on.

In the academic world, this is a common situation.

For example, scholars who have studied in the United States, even if they return to China, especially like to apply for funding from the United States or cooperate with American scholars.

On the one hand, compared with the domestic academic funds, the United States has a large amount of funds, and on the other hand, the United States has few clear funding procedures, but why do scholars with the experience of studying in the United States apply for such tempting funds? Why do Chinese scholars apply so little? Is it possible that the level of Chinese scholars must be lower than that of those who have returned from studying in the United States?

Statistically speaking, this is not the case.

The correct reason is the inertia of funding.

For an American institution, there is obviously a big risk in giving money to a newcomer, and they prefer to give money to scholars who are familiar with it, at least other American institutions.

It's the same as banks like to lend to people who have repaid their loans.

People who have applied for funding in the U.S. can apply for funding just as well when they return to China or go to Africa.

If you haven't applied for it, you can boil it slowly, there is nothing special about it, and the application may not even be able to pass the basic screening.

Some people will shout, everyone has a first time, you don't give me a chance - hehe.

For Yang Rui, taking money from an American for the first time, $300,000 in free money is more meaningful than $5 million in investment funds.

And this money, which he uses in the ion channel laboratory, is also more valuable than using it himself.

High-end laboratories are raised with a large amount of funds, with Yang Rui's current conditions, if he wants to work in a high-end laboratory is very simple, including Darbeko among Nobel laureates like the bull, will try their best to meet Yang Rui's scientific research needs, the conditions will be amazing.

There are many scientists who are willing to do pure research in the laboratory and not worry about it. The Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge is often home to two or even three Nobel laureates.

However, if you want complete scientific research freedom and complete scientific research results, you need to have a high-end laboratory yourself, and you need a lot of open source.

It is unrealistic to rely on oneself to make money in the nutrient channel laboratory, and Peking University may not be able to accept it. Even if Yang Rui is nominated for the Nobel Prize, he cannot afford to raise a world-class biological laboratory in the 80s.

From a national point of view, it is more useful to invest in both electricity and pork than in biobasic research.

Absorbing funds from all over the world is a must-have attribute for a top laboratory.

Of course, Yang Rui also wants to make the value of this money highlight, so as to get the second and third money......

The investment-return model is ideal, but there aren't many labs that can actually do it.

It is the norm to spend money and not be able to achieve results.

Spending money can produce results? God still has to answer his requests.

For Yang Rui, producing results is relatively simple, but it is not inevitable. Fortunately, Tobyles was in a more anxious hurry than him, and he didn't know which department he passed, so it only took two days to transfer the funds.

Yang Rui immediately notified the people in the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University to hold a conference call.

said that it was a conference call, that is, a long-distance phone call to open a hands-free operation, Xu Zhengping and others heard that there was a funding of 300,000 US dollars, so they were naturally active, and a group of people were crowded in the conference room.

"I'm going to split the money evenly. Yang Rui's first sentence stopped several people who were gearing up.

Without waiting for a voice to come from the other side of the phone, Yang Rui continued: "Although the $300,000 is free money, I still decided to put it all into the public laboratory, and the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory will get $250,000. Another $50,000 will be given to the Seaburg Middle School Laboratory. ”

At this moment, the researchers, who were still struggling with the equal distribution, suddenly complained, and the phone was even more chaotic and the sound of electricity.

"What is the need to invest in secondary school labs? ”

"$50,000 for middle school labs is a waste. ”

"Is there anyone doing experiments in the middle school lab?"

Yang Rui tapped on the microphone vigorously and said, "The laboratory of Xibao Middle School will cooperate with the Medical Technology Development Zone. In the future, when you have to be sent to the Pharmaceutical Technology Development Zone, what should you do if the conditions in the laboratory can't even do the verification experiment?"

Although Sinovel Pharmaceutical is the only pharmaceutical company currently recruited by the Hedong Provincial Medical Technology Development Zone, in terms of establishment and nature, the Hedong Provincial Medical Technology Development Zone is still a public unit, and it is still very suitable to support the laboratory of Xibao Middle School. There is no problem in asking a professor from Peking University to help.

The researchers at the Ion Channel Laboratory stopped calling for a moment.

Xu Zhengping concluded: "If it really works, $50,000 in equipment updates is not expensive. ”

"Let's talk about the remaining $250,000. Fan Zhenlong's words were immediately approved by everyone.

Yang Rui coughed and said, "250,000 US dollars, I plan to allocate 180,000 US dollars first, 60,000 US dollars for the interaction protein component, 60,000 US dollars for the G protein component, and 60,000 US dollars for the clone component." ”

"There are also 60,000 clones in the clone group?" Su Fan, who was in charge of this project, exclaimed in surprise.

In the ion channel laboratory, Yang Rui's project is naturally the largest, but he does not do long-term projects, and often does one project after it is completed, and then another project. Below Yang Rui, Xu Zhengping's interaction proteome and Su Xiankai et al.'s G proteome are secondary long-term projects.

In comparison, Su Fan's clone group has the least resources, and it was canceled for a time.

Even now, the cloning group is the internal name of the ion channel laboratory, and it has not been given a special project name, and Su Fan, who is in charge of this project, has never thought that it can be equal to the mutual proteome.

Yang Rui knew the social effects of the cloning project, so he was willing to invest.

Unlike PCR, no matter what cloning is, it is a very complex and delicate experiment, and it will not be effective without long-term investment, and Yang Rui must prepare in advance if he wants to get the social effect of cloning.

He affirmed: "The cloning team wants to speed up the progress, and I don't have any requirements for you to achieve results, you just need to report to me on time." ”

Su Fan should be vigorous.

Jiao Yangping, Tian Bing and others eagerly looked at Su Fan, and applied to speak: "What about the remaining 70,000 US dollars?"

"Reserve money, for genomics, any of you who have a good project, you can apply, you can take some of it, you can take all of it. "Genomics is a large scope, and the scope of research is very wide, and the scale of Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory is gradually expanding, so you have to find a project to apply for by yourself.

For senior researchers, finding a project or something is the easiest thing to do, and no one objects to it.

"Is there a time request?" Xu Zhengping asked more.

Yang Rui laughed twice and said, "If the next batch of funds is in place, it will definitely not be evenly distributed, so ...... Everyone arranges their own time. ”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Rui could imagine the tangled expressions of everyone in the laboratory.

Have a good Spring Festival, and after doing scientific research, don't think about it.

Scientific research has always been globally competitive, and if you spend 15 days at home for the Spring Festival, Americans will not extend the Christmas holiday because of this - those who want to celebrate the Spring Festival, those who want to celebrate Songkran, those who want to think about Eid al-Adha, can enter the industry where the competition for time is not so fierce, or be a writer who procrastinates, technology and patents, if the manuscript is delayed and someone else makes it, then the previous work will be in vain.

Yang Rui himself is not ready to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Before the Spring Festival, he sorted out the laboratories at the WestJet factory and Xibao Township Middle School, and began to prepare for the update of PCR technology - after Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be difficult to find workers or equipment manufacturers to help.

Fortunately, the Hedong Provincial Government attaches great importance to Yang Rui's work, and the cadres in charge of liaison heard that Yang Rui intends to reorganize the laboratory, and immediately transferred a professional moving team from Pingjiang.

As a result, the laboratory has been awarded the honor of provincial key project, and it has been upgraded earlier than Xibao Middle School
