"Houston, didn't you go to lunch?"

"I brought something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Houston smiled, but there wasn't much of a smile on his face.

"A little nervous?" said his Swedish colleague in a distinctly teasing tone, which is rare among Swedes.

Houston finally realized the difference, turned around, and said, "Hawson, is there anything I should know?"

"I also heard it by chance. Howzen first made a skimming.

Houston is a person who has been in contact with scientists for many years, and as soon as he hears about Howson, he knows that there is a situation, and these guys, including himself, are not people who will hide their hearts.

"Horsen, what I need most now is news. Houston looked at his tall Swedish colleague and said, "I owe you a favor." ”

The sentences in a standard American movie, but Howson eats this set very much.

After a little hesitation, Hornen said, "They have reached a stalemate. ”

"Who?" Houston wasn't sure.

Huo Sen smiled: "Who else could it be, the Nobel Prize Committee." ”

"Biological?" Houston startled, his brain spinning irrepressibly.

His hands trembled slightly, as if his ancestors had met a tough predator millions of years ago.

As a Swede, a Swedish scientist, and a highly motivated Swedish scientist in Nobel Prize matters, Houston is extremely sensitive to any related issues.

For example, an impasse.

Houston can't even tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

In fact, very few people can make accurate judgments based on this.

There are many instances in which the Nobel Prize committee has reached an impasse. Five-member committees often take a long time to discuss before a scholar is voted on, and the result of the vote is not always a winner—there are many abstentions and opponents.

Recommended, Approved, Waived...... The five-member Nobel Prize Committee, the drama that takes place every year, is enough to make a blockbuster for several years.

Even after passing the five-member committee, the Grand Council of the Swedish Academy of Sciences will not make things easier.

They always like to deny the scientists chosen by the committee.

This multi-member committee is mainly composed of members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, such as the Physics Prize, which is made up of members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which may explain why Bohr was able to cover the sky with one hand, and the Academy of Sciences where he was in charge would veto almost all scientists who did not like him. It's not entirely selfish, but it is conceivable that if you are biased against quantum theory, you will definitely encounter many obstacles if you want to win the Nobel Prize.

Of course, the world's top scholars like Bohr are a minority after all, and as long as the three countries of Ruidan do not produce scientists who are super-level and live for a long time, the scientists of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences can still do things impartially.

Here, the meaning of impartiality basically means that I only recognize scientists that I recognize.

So the question arises, will the scientists sent by the five-member committee please everyone? Of course not.

The Academy of Sciences of any country is a microcosm of the world's scientific research community, and some people agree with one theory, and some people agree with another.

It is very rare for a theory to appear and then everyone to worship it, even in the field of mathematics, which is most likely to appear in Huashan, it is difficult for anyone to ride the dust - it's not that there are really no outstanding people, but other people just don't recognize your excellence, so what?

Even if the mathematical attainments are so high that they have proved the super bull formula, and the proof is often hundreds of pages, people just don't read it, and you can't help it.

There are also many problems in the field of natural science, such as Darwin's theory of evolution, which aroused a lot of discussion on half of the European continent that year, and finally defeated Lamarck's "use in and out", which can be called the battle of the century, however, after a hundred years, who would have thought that the latest biological research would be used up and out of the abyss through "acquired inheritance".

In some cases, it is very difficult to completely bury academic figures in the academic world.

However, we can not give him a prize!

The joy of being a Swedish scientist lies in that, if you are good enough to be able to go to the Academy of Sciences, or to get into the Katherine Medical School, you will determine the Nobel Prize to some extent.

Even if they weren't part of the five-member committee, the Grand Council of the Royal Academy of Sciences still wielded a great deal of power, and they were more like a jury and couldn't simply end a dispute by voting.

However, most of the time, the scientists of the Royal Academy of Sciences are not monolithic.

Someone once excitedly said to a friend, "We murdered each other's candidates." ”

In Houston's familiar template, a small number of stalemates prove that there are many supporters in the Grand Review Panel, and at least one-third of them must support it to constitute a stalemate. However, most of the stalemate has resulted in the killing of candidates.

If there is controversy, there is no choice, even if it is a theory of relativity.

The more critical issue is that Houston doesn't even know if Yang Rui is in a stalemate or out of a stalemate.

If he is in a stalemate, he will be worried, and if he is outside of a stalemate, of course he will be even more worried...... There is only one Nobel Prize, and once the deadlock is broken, it will be the end of the day.

"Do you know the specifics?" Houston asked Houssen hopelessly.

Huo Sen shook his head.

"Okay. Houston was a little depressed: "Thank you anyway, at least there is a message." ”

"It's not easy for you to know the news, you're welcome. "Howson sold a good one before leaving.

Although his colleagues in the school are not optimistic about Houston's move towards the Nobel Prize Committee, it is undeniable that no one can stop Houston's pace.

Because as far as he knows, Yang Rui has actually entered the final list, which means that Houston's influence on the Nobel Prize Committee will also be enhanced.

Huo Sen even speculated that the stalemate was likely related to Yang Rui.

However, about this news, Hughson is not ready to tell Houston directly, anyway, he has to find someone to verify, so why bother.

The way the Swedes sell well is also very Swedish.

Houston hurried out, hailed a taxi, and said, "Go to Catherine Medical College." ”

Although the members of the Nobel Jury are required to swear to keep secrets, the reality is that the members of the committee are still providing useful information to their friends, such as who is in first place and who is behind.

The reason for this is that they need their own information network to build friendships and contacts with the international academic community.

As Crawford put it: "The ability to insightfully exchange the secrets of Nobel Prize gossip is an important criterion".

Houston is all about insightful exchange of gossip.

At the same time, he was also able to provide more information about Yang Rui to his own sources to help the other party confirm his choice.

In other words, Houston was a network of members of a review committee, taking what they needed and doing the work that was so important to the public in a way that was not known to the public.

To put it mildly, the significance of the Nobel Prize in any year to the whole society and all mankind is greater than the value of the lifetime of all the people in a small city.

Whether or not to win awards based on PCR alone represents the promotion of PCR, and the promotion of PCR directly determines the development of genetics.

Looking at the next 30 years, all Chinese born after 10, Europeans and Americans born after 00, will benefit from PCR technology, and further afield, PCR can directly determine the life and death of millions of babies, the health of tens of millions of babies, and the severity of genetic diseases of hundreds of millions of babies.

As for the development of forensic science driven by this, the difficulties of paternity testing in the upper position of the junior, etc., are not counted.

If it is replaced by G protein-coupled receptors, the radiation surface may not be as extensive as that of PCR, but the impact is more direct and intuitive. In a maximum of 15 years, diseases such as AIDS, prostatic hyperplasia, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease will greatly benefit from it, and more and more in-depth effects will play a role in the next 50 or 60 years, or even 100 years.

However, for people living in the present, the Nobel Prize-winning G protein-coupled receptor may be used in large numbers in the next 10 years, otherwise, the time may be extended to 20 years or even longer, and the difference of 10 years may only be 3650 days plus a leap month and leap day, but it is the difference between life and death, happiness and pain.

To put it mildly, 10 years is almost the time difference between the promotion of a new drug and the end of the patent period, whether the G protein-coupled receptor can win the Nobel Prize, that is, whether the poor can afford the drug.

The world always runs the way it is, and never cares about the impact on ant-like humans.

Human beings, however, are always strong, fighting in inherent ways at the cost of life and suffering.

"Please drive faster. Houston patted the front seat, he is not qualified to push or change the outcome of the Nobel Prize, but even an ant, when faced with fate, is qualified to choose to fight, even if it is a meaningless struggle.

"Are you a scientist? This year's Katherine Medical School awards are a bit slow. The taxi driver was chatting familiarly.

Swedes don't talk, but taxi drivers all over the world seem to be of another ethnicity, even in Sweden.

At this time, the most important thing in Sweden is naturally the selection of the Nobel Prize.

The taxi driver looked at Houston in the rearview mirror with concern.

Houston couldn't help it no matter how anxious he was, coughed, and said, "I'm doing scientific research." ”

The taxi driver looked like he was expecting you, and said with a smile: "It's time for the Nobel Prize to come out, in previous years, when it was fast, there would be results on the 3rd, and today it will be the 4th." ”

"I know. ”

"You have to rush them. ”

"I need to be able to urge. "Houston was helpless.

"Not only are the biological ones not coming out, but the chemical ones are not coming out either, if you know who they are, remember to remind them, don't delay for too much. "The taxi driver looks ridiculous, but in fact he looks very serious.

"Chemistry hasn't come out yet?" Houston thought of a possibility, and suddenly his brain was sweating slightly.
