Why X-rays won the Nobel Prize, why De Broglie won the Nobel Prize, and even why the historical PCR won the Nobel Prize were all related to the public opinion environment at that time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, this is not to say that someone's Nobel Prize is the result of publicity -- the number of Nobel Prize places is too small, and the result is that every scholar and research result who has won the Nobel Prize can be said to be of extraordinary value, but why did they win the Nobel Prize and not others who are equally extraordinary? There are countless variables.

The biggest variable, in the final analysis, is the role of people.

When a laureate has an advantage in the public opinion environment, his chances of winning the Nobel Prize are much greater.

This is reflected not only in the jury, but also in the nominees.

Although the number of nominees for the Nobel Prize is never discussed, from a practical point of view, the more nominated scholars are, the more likely they are to win the Nobel Prize.

And the nominees in charge, whether they are professors at the Carolinsian Institutet, previous Nobel laureates, or invited professors from many universities around the world, are inevitably influenced by public opinion.

Yang Rui didn't need to describe it to Cao Da in detail, but as soon as he said it roughly, Ambassador Cao, who had already studied on his own, understood, and said, "So you want to get Swedish publicity?"

"It's better to spread the word on a global scale, and if you can't do it, it's only Sweden. Yang Rui was a little helpless. The reason why Muris was able to win the award through PCR back then, in order to promote PCR, his company could use two years to hold various information sessions on PCR around the world.

It can be said that there is no one in the world's laboratories and scholars in related fields around the world who does not know that it was Morris who did the PCR.

During the most noisy period, whenever you attend any international conference related to biology or a forum on the pharmaceutical industry, you will definitely hear PCR and hear Muris.

By the early 90s, whenever an academic started a PCR machine, the name of Morris came to mind. Such propaganda is extremely terrifying.

However, when Yang Rui took the lead in completing PCR, he did not have such conditions.

On the one hand, he himself hopes to do more scientific research rather than publicity, and on the other hand, Yang Rui's Chinese identity is not the type that sales companies are willing to praise.

It's a transparent ceiling, and you can't fly up it like a white man, and you have to get enough strength to hit it at once.

Moreover, it is also quite difficult for Yang Rui to raise such resources, and the cost will only be higher.

Cao Da didn't care what Yang Rui's thoughts were, just Yang Rui's request made him frown, and said, "Whether it's global or Sweden-wide, it's not a trivial matter. Do you have a plan?"

"I have several, but I don't know which one is the right one. Yang Rui naturally thought about it carefully, and said at this time: "The first is the most basic, I can associate PCR with the human genome project, the human genome project can be said to be a super moon landing program, very promising, PCR is the core technology ......"

Cao Da listened noncommittally, and then asked, "What about the second one?"

"Think it's inappropriate?" Yang Rui heard his disapproval.

Cao Da nodded with a smile and said: "The human genome project you are talking about, after all, it is different from the moon landing, everyone knows that the moon landing plan is going to the moon, and if you can think about it, the genes are not so clear, not to mention, PCR is just one of the technologies." ”

"Then the plan will be abandoned. Yang Rui didn't mean to hang here, and said: "The second kind can take advantage of the celebrity effect." PCR can accurately detect blood relationship, whether it is father and son or brother, there is no problem, if you find a suitable celebrity, you should be able to make a news. ”

Cao Da didn't understand too much, and asked: "Is it to measure the relationship between father and son?

"Almost, paternity testing or something, can 100% determine the blood relationship between two people, which is much more accurate than blood drops to identify affinity and blood type. Yang Rui said and patted his head: "By the way, if necessary, we can also fund archaeology, as far as I know, some scholars are studying the tomb of the last Russian tsar, through PCR technology, can confirm whether the body in the tomb is the real last tsar." They have doubts about this at the moment, which should be considered big news. ”

At the very least, this is a news that can be broadcast on the Chinese news network.

Cao Da asked curiously, "How do you confirm it?"

"It is best to find the biological legacy left by the Tsar during his lifetime, and a certain judgment can be made by the descendants. Yang Rui didn't say it all. Historically, when the last tsar was still a crown prince, he visited Japan and was stabbed. The Japanese samurai sword that stabbed him is still well preserved in Tokyo, and the blood stains on it can be extracted to determine whether the last tsar was really lying in the tomb.

This would have been a good example of the use of PCR, Sweden and the Soviet Union bordered each other, and there was a desire to understand each other, and such news must have had some influence in Sweden, even if it could not spread all over the world.

Cao Da said slowly: "If there is no better way, this will not lose a trick, but ......"

"But?"

"It's a little bit unsafe. Cao Da said: "I don't know what you mean by biological heritage, but archaeology itself is not very stable, in case something goes wrong, you can't think of other tricks." ”

"It's a problem. Yang Rui took a sip of wine in annoyance.

Cao Da asked again: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"You can also do crime scene surveys and things like that, and it's the same as archaeology. Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said: "Just like a fingerprint is a person's imprint, DNA is even more so, PCR can be very convenient to test DNA, so it is used for criminal investigation, which is a very common use......

"This is good!" Cao Da's thoughts were completely different from Yang Rui's, his voice was raised by two percent, and he lowered it again, and said, "That is to say, PCR can solve the case, right?"

"Of course. ”

"What are the requirements?"

"If the offender leaves biological clues, such as hair, bloodstains, saliva, *** and the like, it can be used for comparison. Just like fingerprints, if a suspect is found, the DNA is the same. Yang Rui said very easily.

In fact, it's really relaxing.

Later generations pulled out a random person, and they all knew that they should not leave DNA when committing crimes, but in the 80s, no one knew this.

So, just like when fingerprints first came out, they could be used to catch a lot of criminals.

The newly baked DNA is basically artifact-level.

Cao Da listened attentively and said: "Isn't this very useful, I think this is good, if you can really catch a criminal who has committed a heinous crime, coupled with the explanation of advanced technology, this kind of news, Europeans are very concerned." ”

Yang Rui nodded slowly and said, "Then we have to find a suitable case." ”

"This is easy to do, I will introduce the Swedish police chief to you. Cao Da said and called a staff member over, asked him to point out the position of the director to him, and pulled Yang Rui over.

Yang Rui only hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

Criminal cases in developed countries in Europe and the United States are very easy to make big news, and the Simpsons wife murder case and the like emerge one after another. Serial killers are frequent visitors to European and American televisions, from Jack the Ripper to Breivik, who lives in a luxury prison in Norway, all of which often appear in the news and even in movies.

Although it sounds rather superficial, there is neither the academic nature of archaeology nor the lofty level of the human genome project, but if the news in Europe and the United States is a superficial mind, there is no way.
