Chapter 1305: Silun

Anderson stood at the door of the school's auditorium, greeting the guests with a smile on his face, and from time to time giving special badges or VIP cards to the guests he knew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's a skill that's unique to him, and Anderson remembers all the important guests who visited Stockholm University, including Nobel laureates and important candidates, world leaders and important political figures, cultural celebrities, business celebrities, and bipedal erectors who donated large sums of money to the university, whether famous or not.

No one knows how Anderson did it, and Houston privately speculated that Anderson would come home every night with photos of the day's guests and recite them as if he were memorizing words.

Houston doesn't think his guess is outrageous, Anderson knows English, French and German Chinese, counting the northern Swedish dialect and a little Russian, he memorizes no fewer words than names.

However, Houston does not hate administrators like Anderson, and although it is not worth regretting that all school administrators were killed by hailstones, administrators like Anderson still deserve a decent funeral.

"Houston. Anderson suddenly shouted, startling Houston, who had just been lying in an aluminum coffin in his mind.

"Anderson. Houston gathered his thoughts and replied steadily.

"It's Professor Parker at Yale University, I remember you knew him. Anderson pouted, pointing to a man and a woman who were going up the steps more than 20 meters ahead.

"It's Professor Parker and his wife. Houston squinted his eyes to see the face in front of him, and couldn't help but say jealously, "Your eyesight is really good." ”

Anderson smiled and said, "When I was in the Wehrmacht, I almost went to be a sniper. ”

Houston didn't trust Anderson at all, not because he didn't trust Anderson, but because he didn't trust the school administrators.

"I visited Professor Parker's lab when I visited the United States, but how do you know we know we met?" Houston asked with another suspicion.

"Professor Parker has been to the University twice, and you have received him. "Anderson looks like you've forgotten?

Houston knew that it was Anderson's favorite part, remembering the events that the parties had forgotten.

Houston laughed without arguing, and went up to meet Parker.

Parker is a chair professor at Yale University, almost a third-tier scholar in the world, but slightly inferior to those who have made Nobel Prize-level achievements but have not yet won the Nobel Prize. However, it is not easy to achieve the Nobel Prize-level achievements as you want to do, and it is not easy to reach Parker's level and become a chair professor in a world-renowned university.

For example, Houston himself, in fact, does not even have the level of the fourth order, he is a professor in Stockholm, but unless he becomes a tenured professor at a prestigious university like Yale, or a chair professor at Stockholm University, he is still far from the goal of a world-renowned professor.

Fortunately, Swedish scholars have always been strong when they are strong, and professors like Parker are very polite to Houston, and the two entered the hall arm in arm, and after a while, Houston tidied up his clothes and walked out sweaty.

"The temperature in the hall is too high. Houston complained.

"I'll ask people to tweak it. Anderson picked up the walkie-talkie as he spoke, shouted twice, put it down again, looked at Houston, and said, "You are very attentive to Yang Rui." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, read the paper in public alone, hehe......" Anderson laughed twice.

Houston said: "Yang Rui's PCR value is extraordinary, and he has this qualification. ”

"I understand that of course he is qualified. As he spoke, Anderson greeted the scholars passing by in front of him, and said without any confusion: "However, as far as I know, the paper that Yang Rui read today is not as valuable as PCR, and Yang Rui's reputation does not seem to be to the extent that he needs to read the paper in public." ”

"Doesn't the school still agree?" Houston said lightly.

Anderson frowned slightly, and said, "The school agreed, because of your recommendation and the influence caused by the recent PCR." ”

Therefore, Yang Rui is qualified enough, and he has created enough influence. ”

"The influence he created was not the influence of academia. ”

"Do you want to say that he doesn't have enough influence in the academic world?" Houston laughed, tapped his chin back, and said, "Don't you know a lot of people?

There are more or less cases of papers being read in public in every school. It's just that with the convenience of transportation and the simplification of communication methods, weak schools have gradually lost the ability to hold such activities, and their public speeches are often a speech to the students or teachers of the school, which belongs to the power of the speaker, and most of them are self-congratulatory models.

High-level universities are cautious about such lectures, because traditionally they often mean recognition or even unreserved support for the scholar.

The presentation of the dissertation at Stockholm University is even more symbolic, especially in the second half of the year, and it is always easy to have a long imagination.

Although the Nobel Prize is a world-class award, the Nobel Prize is selected by Swedish scholars.

More precisely, it is the professors of Stockholm University and Katherine Medical School who determine the ownership of the Nobel Prize.

Anderson looked at Houston and asked directly, "Do you think Yang Rui is qualified to win the Nobel Prize?"

"What do I think it doesn't matter. I am not Arrhenius. Houston was talking about the Swedish academics who prevented Mendeleev from winning the prize. He is also the Swedish scholar most closely associated with the Nobel Prize, and he is inevitably mentioned whenever people talk about black-box operations.

From the declassified documents, it can be seen that Arrhenius has controlled the evaluation of the physics and chemistry prizes for almost more than ten years, and although it is not an authoritarian decision, its influence is far beyond the scope of science and reason.

There is clear evidence, in addition to Mendeleev, there is also the fourth founder of modern physical chemistry, Nernst, because he was an enemy of Arrhenius, and the latter spared no effort to block it for many years. Marie Curie won the prize in 1911 for his planning, and in addition, Werner in 13 and Richards in 14 were all pushed into the Nobel Prize by Arrhenius.

There is not much money exchange and power exchange, but there are grievances and ideological disputes.

In general, when Arrhenius is associated with the Nobel Prize, it is not a compliment.

Anderson smiled "sneering" and said, "You can't be Arrhenius, but you want to be Siren." ”

Houston's face changed suddenly, and his thoughts were really punctured by Anderson.

Siren refers to Lars Syllen, who, after taking up his post as professor of inorganic chemistry at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in '51, began preparing documents for the Nobel Prize Committee on Semenov's scientific achievements. Siren prepared for this for three years and did a lot of work, the most important of which was to translate Semenov's Russian articles and recommend them in different ways to the academic community, primarily the Swedish one.

Siren was not a member of the five-member Nobel Prize committee, in fact, Silen was just an ordinary Stockholm professor at the time, only 35 years old, and his status was not as high as that of Houston now.

However, Silen's fruitful work in translating and introducing him greatly changed the Nobel Committee's perception of Semyonov -- before that, none of the five members of the committee could read Russian, and although they had heard Semyonov's name and knew some of his achievements, it was from Silen that they had a comprehensive understanding of Semyonov.

This is a classic example of the influence of an individual's role on the affairs of the Nobel Prize, and to some extent, Siren made Semyonov, and Semyonov's Nobel Prize in turn made Silen.

Houston wasn't a gifted scholar, but as a Swedish scientist, it wasn't hard to understand how to become a Silen-like figure.

But at this time, Houston was reluctant to answer Anderson directly, but said: "The Nobel Prize in Biology is awarded by the Catherine School of Medicine. ”

"So what does it matter. Anderson laughed, but said: "Actually, I don't want to be Silen, but you must know that Semenov can win the award because Sweden wants to ease relations with the Soviet Union, and you don't understand Chinese." ”

Houston glanced at Anderson and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

In his heart, he sneered, Yang Rui's papers were all written in English.

Anderson seemed to see Houston's thoughts, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "It took Xilun three years, I don't know how long it will take?" Fortunately, Yang Rui is still young, and he can wait for thirty years. ”

"You'll see. Houston didn't say anything more, and turned back into the hall.
