In an age when it was harder to get funding for research than it was to do research, every scholar knew the importance of telling a good story. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, most scholars do not have the opportunity to tell stories, and the public is only interested in the stories of the best scientific research results.

And to be the top in the industry, and to be able to tell stories, such requirements are relatively high.

As far as the biosphere is concerned, the so-called world-class scholars may be hundreds or thousands of people, and the so-called world-class scholars, scholars who can make world-class contributions, I am afraid that there are only a few dozen people, including scholars who have made contributions and are now gradually moving away from the front line of scientific research.

Such a small number leads to the fact that scholars who can do scientific research do not necessarily tell stories, and scholars who can tell stories do not necessarily do scientific research.

The former author of the PCR, Muris, is a scholar who is good at storytelling, he is a typical iconoclastic elite, during his college years, he made his own psychotropic drugs, and even developed new drugs for his own consumption, and after graduating with a doctorate, he changed jobs many times, and finally entered the private sector.

Morris had an innate talent for storytelling, and his first Nature paper on cosmology was, according to sheer fantasy and fabrication, to fool him into his first Ph.D. diploma.

Whether it is fantasy and nonsense, it is difficult for future generations to comment, but in the eyes of ordinary people, such scholars are too down-to-earth.

Later, Muris packaged his PCR inspiration with his girlfriend, a fast car and a winding road.

In the '80s, when Syst was promoting PCR everywhere, Morris would say these things every time he gave a speech.

The public loves this kind of story to death.

When he wants money, he will go to some organizations to give speeches, whether it is a school college or Wall Street, the demand for Nobel Prize winners is always endless, and some rich private middle schools occasionally want to invite Nobel Prize winners, not to mention various organizations outside the United States, the price of a speech by Muris was as high as 100,000 US dollars, and the invitation party was responsible for high-level accommodation.

But in the biosphere, the best storyteller is Muris.

In contrast, the two who made the DNA double helix structure, if it weren't for the fact that the word double helix still has some meaning, it would not be reminiscent at all.

As for proteins and cells, there is no concern.

On the contrary, the story of cowpox and milkman is very widespread around the world.

Yang Rui's conscious learning methods of successful people, including the way to obtain the inspiration of PCR, was also taken by him - the mysterious Yunnan, the Chinese highway with eighteen bends in the mountain road, and the PCR, are the packaging that Yang Rui made for himself.

Nowadays, this packaging and storytelling technique is also an extraordinary success.

Of course, Muris is also obscure because of this, although he is very good at storytelling, although he is still a profligate prodigal, although he is still making psychotropic drugs for himself, although he is still completely different from the surfing boy of scientific apes, but no one cares about his story without making world-class results.

In the days to come, Muris can still surf, still be an unruly prodigal, and still be a psychonarcotic, but his life will not be so chic anymore, and it is estimated that he will have to work longer in the private sector and do longer scientific research to meet his material and spiritual consumption. Unless one day, he can produce world-class results and tell a beautiful story.

In Tobys's eyes, Yang Rui is one of the rare geniuses who is good at telling stories and doing scientific research.

On the phone, Tobyls described in detail what he had seen and thought, and finally made the wavering Darbeko make up his mind.

And his decision was completely unexpected by Tobyles.

"I'll be in China as soon as possible. Darbeko said: "Talk to Yang Rui face-to-face. ”

Tobyls was stunned for a long time and asked, "Are you coming to China?" What about lobbying in Congress? And the National Institutes of Health......

"The involvement of the National Institutes of Health is inevitable, and it is good that they have a lot of reserves and resources. Darbeko paused for a moment and said, "I want to see if Yang Rui and his laboratory can be regarded as rich reserves and resources. ”

Tobylls understood at once, and said stupidly: "You want to cooperate with Chinese scholars?"

"The Human Genome Project is too big, it's an international collaboration, and the UK should be willing to get involved, and I'm trying to convince Japan, so I'm going to come to Asia anyway, and by the way, look at the level of biological research in China. "Darbeko has a clear mind.

Tobyles smiled bitterly: "Yang Rui's research level is world-class, and China's general research level is still far from the international level." Moreover, the Chinese side may not be able to allocate enough funds for the human genome project. ”

The Human Genome Project is one of the three major projects in the natural sciences, but unlike the Manhattan Project and the Apollo Moon Landing Project, the Human Genome Project is a thoroughly worldwide collaborative project involving the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and later the European Community, as well as Denmark, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and finally China.

However, such a huge genome project, in terms of structure, actually follows a very simple cooperation model - who gives the money and who distributes it, and the result is public welfare.

This model is very similar to that of the United Nations, and at its core, the participating countries are required to allocate funds on a pro-rata basis.

In other words, countries that can't afford to pay for it are not eligible to participate.

In this $3 billion plan, the basic 1% of the amount of funds is $30 million, not to mention China in '85, and China in '95 has been worried about money for a long time when discussing whether to join.

After all, this is a basic science project, and the immediate benefits that can be obtained are small, and only well-funded developed countries have the resources to join. Of course, there is also money to pay, but compared to the latter, the money is still a little harder, because there are so many biologists who want to join this program, it can be said that basically no biologist will refuse this job. And, like most programs, the United States and Europe have been able to provide a large number of elite scholars, and they don't particularly care whether other countries provide scientific apes or scientific research kings.

Dalbeko has always invited Yang Rui to the United States for this reason, but has never proposed cooperation with China.

Of course, at this time, it has not yet been approved by the US Congress, and it is also a little ink that has just fallen on the eight characters, and there is no talk of cooperation.

But after thinking calmly, Darbeko's thinking obviously changed, and said: "I think that no scholar is isolated, especially in today's world, with the current level of academic development, Yang Rui's success at least means that he has gathered a quasi-world-class team around him, of course, I have to see for myself to decide." ”

"Okay, I'll do some preparation in China. Tobyles didn't know what to say.

Darbeko said very clearly: "You have to know Yang Rui's team and know more about China's top team." ”
