Chapter 420: Venue
"This is the International Congress of Medical Bioengineering?" Huang Mao poked a paper clip in his chest while looking at the red banner hanging in the corridor with regret. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The banner did read "International Congress of Medical and Bioengineering", but in the corridor opposite the banner, there was a banner of "International Conference on Geological Sciences", which suddenly lowered the tone of the so-called international conference.
The staff who distributed nameplates to the participants saw Huang Mao's expression very often, and he just smiled at this time, and said: "Now is the busiest time of the year, and the major hotels can't book rooms, we just share the hotel with the Geological Society, and some hotels have five or six conferences at the same time." ”
"So the two conferences were held together, is it considered a few?" Huang Mao said helplessly.
The staff who distributed the nameplate nodded naturally and said: "There are only a few foreign-related hotels in Beijing, and there are many applications for hotels in the city, and there is no way to give approval to them, right?" ”
If it is not a foreign-related hotel, foreigners are not allowed to stay, and naturally it is impossible to hold an international conference.
In the 80s, there were indeed a lot of international conferences, on the one hand, China actively invited, on the other hand, foreigners actually wanted to come to China for meetings, because China has just opened up, foreigners have never come, those who have been to Egypt, Italy, Kenya foreign friends, but also want to find an opportunity to come to China to see, compared to the trouble of applying for tourist visas, it is more convenient to come to China to hold international conferences.
In addition to the legitimate scientific conferences, the less legitimate conferences are also often held in China, such as business conferences, MLM group meetings, or simply small associations for no reason, and they are willing to travel to Beijing when they seize the opportunity.
This is the same reason that the Chinese held a meeting to go to Huangshan Lushan and Beidaihe.
The International Conference on Medical and Bioengineering is a very powerful international conference, and only with the presence of foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine can we get half of the meeting in the Xiangshan Hotel.
Yang Rui and Huang Mao hung up the nameplate, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the west building of the Xiangshan Hotel, surrounded by the venue of the conference.
There are not only the main conference rooms that can accommodate hundreds of people, but also the small conference rooms scattered around, and outside each conference room, there are big posters written about the schedule of this conference room in the next few days, usually one or two reports in the morning, one or two reports in the afternoon, and free activities in the evening.
Unlike the Chinese conference, this kind of academic conference prefers the closing ceremony rather than the opening ceremony.
In this conference, the opening ceremony was cancelled altogether, and each scholar present had a timetable and a list of papers. The schedule is the time of each presentation, and the list of papers is the papers that will be presented at each presentation.
If you are interested in a certain report, you can go to the service station to ask for the paper, and of course, you can also go to the site to pick it up when you give a lecture.
This model has more freedom and less concentration, which makes many Chinese a little confused.
Huang Mao couldn't help but comment: "This really can't highlight the key points." ”
"I think it's good that people can listen to reports in whatever field they like to save time. Yang Rui is actually used to this kind of report.
"Isn't that that in some rooms there are no one to sit in, and in some rooms there is no one in them?"
"It's better than having to listen to a report you don't want to hear. "Don't look at everyone who is engaged in biology, but this field is very large, and it is very likely that some people will not understand what other people are saying.
"I feel too nervous, I can extend it for a few days, and I won't arrange each report meeting so tightly, there are at least four or five report meetings at the same time, and I can't listen to it all. Huang Mao cherished this opportunity and was very unhappy with the organizer's arrangement. He entered as a visitor, and the organizing committee did not arrange a room for him, nor did he arrange a fixed position, and of course, he did not need to participate in a fixed program. This is Huang Mao's application through Peking University, and it is also because he is the second author of the speech paper that he can get such a nameplate, but for the qualifications, the identity of the visitor is of little use.
Yang Rui pulled Huang Mao into the corridor and asked, "Haven't you ever studied abroad?"
"Where can it be my turn, foreign laboratories are more competitive. Huang Mao looked around curiously, and then continued to look down for the report of interest.
……
Yang Rui's report was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.
It wasn't a good time, and the hall was cramped, with only 50 seats, which was slightly larger than a classroom.
At the same time, there were about five groups of people, the biggest one was from Yale, and the old gentleman would give a three-hour report and then set aside two hours for questions.
Yang Rui got a total of 2 hours, Huang Mao arrived at the door half an hour early, watched the end inside, and began to look at the papers he brought to the scholars who came and went casually on the table outside.
Hundreds of people were invited to the entire international conference, and there were quite a few researchers hanging out in the venue, but not necessarily in the relevant fields, and not everyone was willing to listen to the presentations.
Under normal circumstances, a venue of 50 people is enough for not particularly well-known scholars. As for particularly well-known scholars, they will naturally be allocated to larger venues.
Huang Mao stood there a little nervously, looking around worriedly.
After a while, Yang Rui also came over with the prepared paper, looked at Huang Mao and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid no one will come. Huang Mao inhaled, his youthful aura suddenly appeared, speaking of which, he had only graduated from college for two years.
Yang Rui laughed and said: "You care so much, first of all, as long as we give a paper at the conference, we will assemble and publish it at that time, this is the qualification." Secondly, potassium channels are a hot spot in biology, how can no one listen to it. At the very least, Professor Richard has to listen to it. ”
Huang Mao was quite serious in front, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard the back.
In fact, Richard was really waiting outside.
Of course, Richard is embarrassed to go over now, he found someone to help him pick up Yang Rui's paper, and was going to squat in a conference room to take a closer look, so that the report would open in a while and seize the opportunity to ask questions.
If the paper itself is not worth mentioning, perhaps the question can be omitted, and although the odds are low, Richard still has a glimmer of hope.
After all, he has been experimenting for more than two months, and he has been doing it day and night, and he has not been able to write the results of the formed paper, Yang Rui also went home for the New Year, and when he came back, he took out the paper at once, Richard felt that it was still very possible to be repetitive, or low-groundbreaking.
After a while, the agreed paper was delivered.
Richard sank in his hand, and his face changed: "So thick?"
"More than 20 pages, with background introductions before and after. The man whispered.
Richard was a little relieved and asked, "Are there many people who take papers?"
"It seems like a lot. ”
"How many papers did they prepare?"
"A hundred copies are definitely available. ”
"The heart is not small. Richard scoffed, this kind of international venue, there are not many people who can participate, and even fewer who have time to listen to the report. Of course, there will be more people who come to pick up papers than to listen to reports, but if there are more than 100 papers, there is usually no end to them.
The person who came shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mutagenesis analysis of potassium ion channels, it is still quite attractive to hear the name, and your laboratory competition can also increase the heat." ”
Richard's face flushed. In the biological world, the failure of the scientific research competition between him and the Chinese laboratory is not a small piece of news.
"I'll look at the paper first. Richard lost interest in talking.
In Hall 3 not far away, Yang Rui and Huang Mao were in front of them, and gradually people began to stop.
Unlike Richard, most researchers will choose to communicate with the author of the paper as soon as they get the paper, which is one of the benefits of international conferences, you can get more information faster, and the exchange between researchers from different regions can give both sides access to more advanced information.
In terms of potassium ion channel, or calcium ion channel, sodium ion channel and other channel technology, Yang Rui is at the forefront.
At least half of the scholars who care about the field come by looking at the table of contents and the time of the report.
And the reason why they came here in person was to communicate with Yang Rui.
And the gathering of these people slowly began to attract the attention of other scholars.
