Chapter 1469: Textbook

For Yang Rui, writing an article can be a very simple thing or a little more difficult.

The easiest way is to take a few articles in your head, change them and send them out, or simply use the original text.

If you are not afraid of trouble, then you can change a little more and add some of your own ideas into it.

This is also the way Yang Rui chooses.

It's not that Yang Rui is not afraid of trouble, but he is unwilling to waste a great opportunity.

If the article is used in ordinary publications, Yang Rui would rather not write it.

A dignified Nobel Prize winner does not have time to write tofu blocks to make tofu money.

Letting those who are qualified to design missiles sell tea eggs is the biggest waste of social resources -- if a person sells tea eggs for half his life, then his greatest value to society may be to have a chance to give birth to a missile expert.

Yang Rui never thought of being a science popularizer with an amiable attitude, let alone writing popular science articles.

In the face of the general public, it is actually enough for ordinary scholars to write articles, and perhaps they will be written better. As for the popular science value of Da Niu, it is actually aimed at scholars with an ordinary research level, such as why is it easy to have thousands of citations for a review written by Da Niu?

However, the selection of textbooks is different after all.

Chinese textbooks are not like foreign countries, and Chinese textbooks in the 80s are not like later generations, and today's textbooks are a unified template for the whole country, and they have been used for many years.

For example, if Yang Rui's article can be added to the textbook next year, then there will be at least one generation of people across the country who will read his article, and there may be how many people will be familiar with his name.

This kind of social reputation is not taken for nothing.

As far as China's environment is concerned, this kind of social reputation can only be obtained by scientists. For example, Chen Jingrun can be said to be the most well-known mathematician in China, and whether he can be regarded as the most well-known scientist in China depends on who wins between him and Yuan Longping.

As for officials and writers, in the education system, they will eventually tend to be inferior, especially living officials and writers, and propaganda is too risky for the wise.

Moreover, Yang Rui has further ideas.

Writing popular science articles is not so much a right for scholars as a social responsibility.

A small amount of social responsibility is a kind of dedication, but what if you take on more?

For example, simply participate in the writing of a new version of the biology textbook?

For others, writing a new textbook is about a task that takes years, not to mention a lot of effort.

For Yang Rui, it is not so troublesome.

And, for good reason, he has a good reason.

Biology textbooks are too backward now.

Biology in the modern sense was only developed in small quantities after World War II, and by the 80s, it was still only in its infancy. If physics has tended to be self-justifying, biology has just dotted a small black dot and pretended to be a circle.

However, in a physical sense, a point is not a circle.

Biology developed by leaps and bounds after the Human Genome Project.

The biology of the pre-genomic era is the biology of the cell, and the biology of the post-genomic era is really beginning to study why.

Therefore, if Yang Rui stands on the academic point of view of the 21st century and looks down at the textbooks of the 80s, it can be said that there are too many slots to count.

Looking ahead, the biology textbooks of '56 talked about Darwin and genetics, and only talked about the Michurin School, not the Morgan School. What is the Morgan School, Morgan is the one who raised fruit flies, not to mention that genetics is derived from the research of His Excellency Morgan, even the genetics of later generations is indispensable to the contribution of His Excellency Morgan. When Yang Rui was doing research on ion channels, the leg shaking gene he found was the contribution of Drosophila.

As a result, the genetics of His Excellency Morgan are not allowed to be discussed, only the doctrine of Comrade Michurin. Comrade Michurin's academic thought, simply put, is that "man will conquer heaven." He denied the existence of genetic material, that is, genes, and believed that through external influences, it was possible to control the traits of living beings. Of course, it's not surprising that he has such an idea, he is a horticulturist, according to the classification of the scientific community, horticulture and scientists should not be connected in the first place, this kind of person who makes bonsai every day can have similar ideas is actually very in line with the personality. But when the Soviet government intervened, and it further affected China, and many other countries, the horticulturist was damned.

Domestic biology taught horticulturists about genetics, taught until the 60s, and then revised biology...... Hehe, the revised version of biology mainly teaches "three major crops and one pig"!

Do college students need to know how to grow rice, wheat and cotton, and how to raise pigs?

It's like after the 90s, the Chinese media likes to discuss the high scores and low ability, as if college students can't fold quilts, which is a big sin. A student who can read and can't fold quilts will naturally hire a former student who can fold quilts as a nanny, so what does it matter if he can fold quilts or not? Unless he has a Ph.D. degree.

In the biology textbooks of the 80s, they began to talk about molecular biology, but they were full of mistakes and omissions.

Not to mention Yang Rui's level, with his current reputation and knowledge of biology, it is easy to beat the world.

The only problem is that the face of the person who is beaten will not look good.

Chinese textbooks are not written by people with the highest academic level, and there is no need for that.

They don't even invite the most academically qualified people to participate in the writing or consultation.

But what if the highest level is to write a textbook for one subject?

Of course, I refused.

Unless...... You start by making the textbook.

This is something that normal people would not do. High-level scholars don't have the time to make a book.

Yang Rui didn't care.

He didn't have much time to make a book, but instead handed it out and spent some time.

This thing can't be submitted, and it can't even be handed over to a publishing house like a popular science article, but it has to make a splash.

Fortunately, Yang Rui had already fledgled and invited several big bulls, along with Professor Cai and Wu Hongbo of Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to write an enthusiastic proposal and hand it out, and several comrades of the textbook committee died down.

In the eyes of people in the biological world, Yang Rui seems to be out of business.

Some people even regarded the year when he disappeared as the time he spent writing textbooks, so much so that some people sent a sincere letter to persuade Yang Rui to concentrate on academics without distraction......

Yang Rui couldn't cry or laugh, ushered in the Spring Festival party, and only practiced 10 hours in advance.
