"If that's what the ion channel lab asks, then we'll have to comply. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Liu Yuzhuang weighed the pros and cons and said very reluctantly.

He has done 110 hours a day before, who didn't have the experience of crazy work when he was young.

But he is now 40 years old, not to mention whether his body can afford to eat, but the burden on his family is already very heavy. Liu Yuzhuang is not like Chu Huaiming who is alone, even his son has already been recruited and left, Liu Yuzhuang has three children, all of whom are studying, the oldest has reached the age of the college entrance examination, and he is not a few years younger than Yang Rui, and this period is the time when money is most needed and parental guidance is the most.

Of course, Liu Yuzhuang is still quite enthusiastic about the human genome project, and reaching the age of forty is also the last period of struggle for men.

Under Yang Rui's stern eyes, Liu Yuzhuang gave an incomprehensible answer: obey the dispatch of the laboratory.

According to him, 110 hours of crazy work could not last.

However, he did not estimate Yang Rui's harsh target for recruitment.

Yang Rui's goal is extremely realistic, if it is a big cow or a small cow, then there is nothing to say, try your best to recruit it, you must give excellent conditions, every extra charge, at least it is equivalent to raising a tenant who pays rent with an impact factor.

But if it's not a big cow or a small cow, what Yang Rui needs is heavy labor.

Doing gene sequencing is very tiring, very hard, and the work is endless.

There are a total of 3 billion base pairs in the human body, and human genome sequencing, although it cannot be said that the same steps are repeated 3 billion times, but it is normal to repeat tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of times.

The job of the bulls is to develop tools to develop newer and more effective sequencing methods, but no matter how advanced and effective the sequencing methods are, the participation of laborers is always indispensable.

Science and technology buildings need both designers and builders.

Liu Yuzhuang and Chu Huaiming were identified by Yang Rui as the role of construction workers, so they naturally put forward the requirements of construction workers.

Now it seems that Liu Yuzhuang is not up to the requirements. In this regard, Yang Rui doesn't care, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find, such as Liu Yuzhuang, a role like moving bricks and tiles, how much China wants.

Yang Rui's gaze turned to Chu Huaiming and said, "If Professor Chu is free recently, you can come to our laboratory to try the instrument or something, and we can communicate a lot." ”

Chu Huaiming knew that this was a test, and hurriedly agreed.

Even if it is labor, it is necessary to test and distinguish whether it is a large or small work.

Small workers are all over the place, nothing more than doing some electrophoresis work, scientific research Wang or a slightly stronger head dog can be filled, it's really not good, pull two undergraduates over to train, it's just a little inefficient. If Chu Huaiming is at the level of a small worker, then there is no need to recruit, just a waste of a place.

Dagong is a little difficult, not particularly shrewd and studious head dog, only after three or four years of training, it is difficult to master to do, to do well, but also need more operations and time accumulation.

In foreign countries, big workers are generally PhDs, or young people who have just obtained a doctoral diploma.

But in China in '84, students were robbed of their bachelor's degrees, and it was not easy to catch a PhD that had been trained for six or eight years.

If you can't be backward compatible, you can only look upwards.

An associate professor like Chu Huaiming, who is just in his early forties, has about 10 years of wasted period, and the level of a PhD who graduated at the age of 30 is about the same - of course, in fact, there is a difference, and under the same hard work, a 35-year-old doctoral student can receive much better training than an associate professor who has been groping for more than ten years, and he has better physical strength and energy, and his ability to accept new knowledge is also stronger.

To put it simply, except for a few talented people, Chu Huaiming, an associate professor of this age, has dedicated the best years of his life to political struggle, whether it is active struggle or passive struggle, his academic talent and knowledge accumulation have basically been wasted, and it is difficult to become a designer, especially an excellent designer, and can only strive to be a good technician, or an older technician.

In fact, in today's China, if there are PhDs who have graduated from European and American universities and returned to China, they are all directly treated as professors, but that's it, there are not a few, and it is not something that Yang Rui can attract with a single bone.

People return to China to eat meat, and if it is just to join a good laboratory, there are still a lot of laboratories of second- and third-order scholars abroad.

When Liu Yuzhuang saw Yang Rui talking to Chu Huaiming, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "I can also make time recently, can I come over?"

"Even if we give it a try, we work a long time. Yang Rui paused for a moment and said: "We now have several scientific research groups, one experimental group that can withstand long-term work is another, and another experimental group that cannot withstand long-term work." ”

"What kind of research did the experimental group that couldn't withstand working long hours do?"

"There's no one yet, so it's not clear what kind of research to do. Yang Rui felt that this was his euphemistic refusal.

When Liu Yuzhuang heard this, he couldn't accept it, and said: "That is, if you can't bear to work for a long time, you will have to sit on a cold bench?"

"Our conditions are not good, so we can only stick to the task. ”

"Working 110 hours a week is unbearable. ”

"China is so big, there is always something that can stand it, as long as we hold on for two or three years, we will naturally be more comfortable. Yang Rui said that his forced labor was awe-inspiring.

Liu Yuzhuang was a little unhappy, but he could only admit that Yang Rui was right.

The world of scientific research is like this, not to mention China now, even if you put it in Europe 30 years from now, and look at southern Europe, which is known for its laziness, a PhD at the University of Madrid in Spain will have to work more than 10 hours a day.

It is okay for doctoral students at Pheasant University to study at will, but what does that have to do with scientific research? After graduation, most of them also survive in industry, and maybe they will go to work as civil servants, so they will not be able to talk about labor.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow. Chu Huaiming was afraid that Liu Yuzhuang would make Yang Rui angry, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

When he went out, Liu Yuzhuang was unhappy and indignant: "We are all in our forties, let us work for more than ten hours a day, isn't that our lives?"

Chu Huaiming was silent.

"Old Chu. Liu Yuzhuang shouted: "You're not afraid of dying here?"

Chu Huaiming hesitated for a moment and said, "It's idle to go back, don't we want to be idle." ”

"You don't want to, I do. Liu Yuzhuang muttered and said: "I'd rather go back to teaching, our school is now re-establishing the Department of Biology, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, it is the time to use people, and teaching can also be ......."

"Teaching is good, too. Chu Huaiming smiled, but he was unwilling in his heart, his goal was never to be outstanding.

Inside the ion channel laboratory.

Professor Cai walked out of the laboratory in the middle of the room and asked with a smile, "Haven't found a suitable candidate yet?"

"Tsinghua's level is still higher, but I'm worried that they don't want to do general work. Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and asked tentatively: "Both of them are associate professors, and there aren't many places for them in our school." ”

"If you can meet the conditions, you can have as many positions, and if you can't meet the conditions, you can't give them if you have a position. Professor Cai replied tactfully. The conditions he mentioned are naturally much more difficult than those of this school, and there are rigid requirements for projects, achievements, papers, etc.

Yang Rui said helplessly: "That seems to be no good." ”

"Then you still let Chu Huaiming come to the laboratory to test work?"

"If he can persevere, and he can sign the paper, won't your requirements be met?"

Professor Cai was dumbfounded: "You actually hit this idea." ”

If you want to modify the conditions, after thinking about it, the conditions for introducing talents to the ion channel laboratory are not low, that is, if Yang Rui can do it, if he wants to sign the paper, he will have the paper to divide, which is the ability of others, and he has no way to interfere.

Professor Cai shook his head unknowingly, and said, "I have an idea that can help you easily understand whether Tsinghua University and other universities and research institutions have suitable candidates." ”

"What's the idea?"

"Tsinghua is rebuilding the biology department, you know. ”

"Of course. ”

"The relationship between Peking University and Tsinghua University can be said to have a long history, and some of our biology departments of Peking University are actually separated from Tsinghua University. Now, Tsinghua University wants to rebuild the Department of Biology, and we at Peking University should also help them. In terms of funds and instruments, everyone is funded by the state, so we don't need to be pretending to be generous, but in terms of personnel, Tsinghua hopes that Peking University can support some. ”

"How to support?"

"Peking University mainly provides teaching talents and substitutes for the first class of biology students at Tsinghua University. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and other fraternal units will provide them with help in other aspects. Professor Cai paused for a moment and said: "Speaking of which, including Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units, they all owe Tsinghua a debt of favors, 52 years of department adjustment, to 84 years, a full 32 years, Tsinghua University is a blank in the field of biology, and now reconstruction, the units that can help, must be good to repay this debt, I think, if you go in the past, won't you be able to see the elite soldiers selected by each unit?"

"I'm over?" Yang Rui pointed to his nose and asked, "What did I do in the past?"

"In the name of the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, I substitute for the students of Peking University. Professor Cai said naturally: "The Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University is also a key laboratory of our school, and it is applying for a provincial key laboratory. ”

"I'm a student myself. ”

"If you have a cell, a nature, and teaching a few undergraduates is not favored. Besides, are there still fewer undergraduate and graduate students in your lab?"

"Can Tsinghua agree?"

"How can you disagree, if you are willing to go, it is too late for them to be happy. Professor Cai tried his best to persuade him. In order to find a place to help Director Yang of the ion channel laboratory correct his name, Professor Cai also took great pains.

is also the director of the laboratory, and the directors of other laboratories have undertaken teaching tasks, but Yang Rui does not undertake them, which is obviously inappropriate in name. However, it is a bit inappropriate to let Yang Rui teach directly at Peking University, after all, he himself is still a sophomore.

However, it is no problem to go to Tsinghua University. Yang Rui went to Tsinghua University, and he went in the name of the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, that is, in the name of the author of Nature and Cell, which is second to none in China.

Yang Rui can also understand, but he still feels a little weird.
