"Where did your news come from?" Ge Xingbang is now a head two big. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he is also an academician, his overseas connections are not very strong, and he cannot get such news. However, in this position, Ge Xingbang also knows that the credibility of public information is not necessarily as high as the credibility of private information.

Since Wu Hongbo said that Yang Rui entered the list of two, it may really be that he entered the list of two.

Still, Ge Xingbang wanted a little more evidence to back it up, as if he were doing a repeat experiment.

Wu Hongbo didn't have the consciousness of being a guinea pig, his nose wrinkled, and said: "It's a list of two people, and it's all news." ”

The corners of Ge Xingbang's mouth twitched twice, unconvinced.

The same academicians, academicians who participate in various activities, academicians with high levels, and academicians who have won many awards and important research directions will naturally have a wider range of contacts.

Wu Hongbo has news that is not very unusual, but Ge Xingbang is embarrassed to say that he does not have it.

This is actually the advantage of senior academicians, it is not easy to go abroad nowadays, and correspondingly, there are fewer opportunities for foreign scholars to come to China or meet Chinese scholars in their own countries. From the perspective of news channels, if a Swedish academician knows Wu Hongbo, he actually doesn't need to know other academicians, especially in the Nobel Prize selection, the two sides don't need too many people to intervene, just a one-on-one chat.

One talks about the situation in Sweden and even Europe, and the other talks about the situation in China, and the basic understanding is almost there.

This is like a Chinese academician who wants to know about the situation of Iran's domestic scientific research circles, does he still need to ask more people? There is no need at all, it is enough to ask a scholar who has a degree of mutual trust.

Chinese scholars need foreign channels, and foreign scholars need Chinese channels, and that's it.

As an academician, Ge Xingbang did not establish any European channels, so he naturally showed some soil. However, the turtle is also the turtle, Ge Xingbang turned to comment: "It's not a big deal to enter the final list, do you still want to officially admit such gossip?"

"I don't know how to pretend to understand!" Wu Hongbo was not polite to Ge Xingbang, who was also an academician, and said: "Is that the final list? That is the final selection stage, and Yang Rui and Cohen are likely to be reviewed by the review team in no particular order." Taking history as a mirror, scientists who can get this far will have a good chance of winning the Nobel Prize in the future, and even if they can't this year, the chances of winning the prize in the future are very high. ”

The scholars of the five-member committee were initially tasked with narrowing the list of nominees, that is, excluding certain people, and generally speaking, there were relatively strong reasons for that.

However, in the final stage, when there are two or three left, or four or five people, the scholars of the five-member committee will not continue to exclude, but will work on the ranking.

The so-called ranking is to decide whose name is to be submitted to the review team first, and the second to the review team......

Because the Panel often "murders" candidates, being first does not mean that you will have the best chance, nor is being ranked second.

All in all, the lists proposed by different committees at different times will have different results when they meet different review delegations.

Because the review panel only has the right of veto and the committee only has the right to nominate, this game can be full of wisdom, stupidity, and even more inevitably full of luck.

For all mankind, such an important award has so many elements of luck that it may only be described as reality.

But in any case, as Wu Hongbo said, as long as the scholars who make the final list are eligible for the Nobel Prize, even if they do not win the Nobel Prize this year, they will become the most popular candidates for the Nobel Prize for many years to come, similar to the scholars who won the Lacks Prize.

After all, they've already been screened for a round of security scientists, at least not when the wrong award is awarded.

And the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize, or in other words, being a popular candidate in itself, is enough to be imaginative.

Wu Hongbo will appear and mention the so-called attitude problem, which is also based on this.

After Ge Xingbang heard the word "don't know how to pretend to understand", his face fell, but he couldn't deny Wu Hongbo's words, otherwise he would really not know how to pretend to understand.

"Then we'll wait for the results. Ge Xingbang smiled reluctantly.

"It's not about waiting for the outcome. Wu Hongbo was not satisfied with Ge Xingbang's weakness, and turned to look at the others: "Hasn't China's biological community waited long enough?

No one spoke, and Ge Xingbang smiled sarcastically.

Wu Hongbo stood straight and said: "The transfer of the scientific research center is beneficial to everyone, if we don't seize this opportunity, can the opportunity jump in the face?"

"Academician Wu, let's not talk about such a hypocrisy today. Lao Fang saw that some scholars were moved, and hurriedly grabbed a sentence.

Wu Hongbo laughed twice and said, "What I said is true. I'm talking about real interests. Wouldn't you like to meet heavyweight biologists from all over the world at an international conference held at your doorstep one day? ”

Wu Hongbo's words really caused a commotion.

It has reached the point where funds can be allocated in advance, and to a large extent, personal appeals coincide with career appeals. For scholars, since China's top goal is not to look up, the desire to be world-class or even the world's first has naturally been bred for a long time.

It's just hard to achieve.

So, with Yang Rui's participation, can it be achieved?

If Yang Rui really wins the Nobel Prize, is it possible?

The crowd couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Wu Hongbo didn't wait for everyone to come up with any results, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Let me talk about something practical, when the Nobel Prize is announced, what will Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory look like? ”

Several scholars nodded slightly.

Wu Hongbo didn't say that Yang Rui didn't win the Nobel Prize, but now that he is on the final list, the value of Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory has greatly increased.

If it falls abroad, a prospective Nobel laureate, the so-called world's second-order scholar, has an explosive ability to attract graduate students, and among the students who apply every year, Harvard, Yale and Cambridge have to run for three digits.

Students who are aspiring to academics, who do not want to follow a good tutor.

Even in China, Yang Rui's laboratory is far away from the world's biological center, and its competitiveness will still be doubled.

And if he wins the Nobel Prize, not to mention the shift of the world's biological center, but there is almost a sense of existence of a new district or sub-center. At the very least, China's biology community cannot be easily ignored by the world's biology community.

"In my opinion, what you said is not practical at all, Academician Wu. Lao Fang was determined to contradict him, stood up again, and said: "What level of the laboratory is, it is Yang Rui's laboratory, but is it enough for China to only need one laboratory of Yang Rui? For the sake of Yang Rui's one-man laboratory, there is no such reason to exploit the laboratories of the whole country." ”

"The funds are not yours in the first place, so how can you talk about exploitation. Wu Hongbo first gave away the political factors, continued to turn to the crowd, and said: "I hope you understand the current scientific community, where does the funding of all countries in the world come from? In addition to a large proportion of state funding, there are also more and more funds from private companies and foundations, and we have never been exposed to non-state funding, but this does not mean that non-state funding does not exist. In fact, as far as I know, Yang Rui's laboratory has received funding from private companies in other countries, including Coca-Cola and JieliZeneca, right?"

Wu Hongbo asked Professor Cai.

"That's right. Professor Cai nodded.

"That's the benefit of benchmarking, we have world-class labs, and not only this lab will benefit, but labs across the country will benefit. Now that the country is developing rapidly, it will not be long before pharmaceutical factories and food factories all over the country will have the need to renew them, and when the time comes, will we be able to obtain funds from them? Or will we give funds to factories and laboratories from Japan and South Korea?" Wu Hongbo said very seriously.

To put it mildly, funding from multinational corporations is indeed a major source of income for laboratories in various countries, and this money certainly cannot be compared with national funding, but it is not a small help for laboratories that can receive money.

Moreover, the more high-end scholars are, the stronger their desire for this aspect, just as the more high-end factories are, the more eager they are for import and export trade.

Ge Xingbang said slowly: "What you said is based on Yang Rui, you just said it to Yang Rui, what is the need to tell us." ”

That's what I call the importance of attitude. Wu Hongbo's expression became calm and said: "It's impossible for everyone to think about asking Yang Rui to charge us in front, and to dig his corner in the back." To put it mildly, when the time comes, if there is an influx of foreign funds, and a foreign conference is going to be held in China, no matter what a good thing it is, do you say that people believe in you or Yang Rui?"

Ge Xingbang was stunned by Wu Hongbo's question, and said, "This is a diplomatic matter." ”

"Then you just wait for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give you contact funds. Wu Hongbo said disdainfully: "The 20 million yuan fund is promised now, there is no harm." Let me mention one more point, the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University is also qualified as a State Key Laboratory. ”

"Impossible!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"It's not an exception, it's unruly!"

The few people who had just been moved by the words wantonly objected again.

Wu Hongbo didn't say much, just sat across the TV and watched it intently, as if he was at home.
