"Squeak!"

As soon as Philip stepped on the brakes, the powerful xìng of the Cadillac sedan could be vividly reflected immediately, and soon stopped not far from the man's side!

"Huh? I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! ”

The man was also startled when he saw the urgency of the car stopping, and quickly apologized repeatedly.

Because he hadn't left the gate of the Scripps Research Institute yet, Philip didn't doubt him, but just turned his head to look at the position of Tian Lu in the back seat, this passerby was an Asian with yellow skin, obviously coming for Tian Lu or Ye Lan.

At this time, Tian Lu was very strange in his heart, glanced at Ye Lan, and found that she was also confused, and immediately determined that neither of them knew each other. After a little hesitation, Tian Lu still pressed the window button and asked sideways, "Excuse me, are you 。。。。。。 ”

"Hello Mr. Tian!"

This young man in his thirties, who spoke authentic Mandarin, said very politely: "My name is Zhao Jianfei, I graduated from Lingnan Medical College, and I am now conducting postdoctoral research here. ”

Lingnan Medical College?

Hearing this familiar name, Tian Lu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it turned out to be an alumnus, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

While speaking, Tian Lu had already opened the door and got out of the car, stretching out his right hand. Although he is not so close to the level of tears in his eyes when he meets his fellow countrymen, he can meet his alumni in San Diego, and this mood is indeed a little different.

Zhao Jianfei hurriedly shook hands with Tian Lu and said respectfully: "That's the case, Teacher Tian, are you free at night?" A few of us who are coming out of the country to study or work in Scripps would like to treat you to a meal and ask some questions. ”

After saying the main purpose, Zhao Jianfei showed apologies on his face, and said quite embarrassedly: "You know, most of us are still students, and we have no way of knowing your itinerary, so I had to send me to wait here." And...... ”

"Besides, you're my alumnus, so let's talk better, right?"

Hearing this, Tian Lu laughed and quipped.

As soon as Tian Lu said this, Zhao Jianfei became more and more embarrassed. Let's be honest. He really had that idea. It's really rude to stop someone's car on the road. But they didn't have a way to do it. I couldn't ask anyone about it, like stopping Tian Lu to ask after the speech, but I found that he left with Professor Bruce and them, and finally had to make this decision.

It's just that this embarrassment is also fleeting. Zhao Jianfei immediately asked eagerly: "Teacher Tian, there is one of our alumni among our other people, do you think you have time at night?" Everyone admires you and wants to get some academic guidance! ”

"This 。。。。。。"

Tian Lu's face was flushed with a hint of embarrassment, and he immediately hesitated.

If it's someone else's invitation. Tian Lu must have refused politely, after all, the original planned trip was postponed by a day because of San Francisco, and this meal was bound to be delayed for at least half a day! However, feeling Zhao Jianfei's sincerity, and thinking that there was still someone waiting, Tian Lu couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

"Teacher Tian, if you have important arrangements, forget it!"

Seeing Tian Lu's embarrassed face, Zhao Jianfei hurriedly said with some regret. He wasn't a fool either, so he naturally knew that Tian Lu had this expression because of other arrangements, but it was also because of that. Zhao Jianfei was slightly grateful in his heart, the other party was hesitating rather than directly refusing, which is not easy for many big-name experts, you know, although these people are studying for a doctorate or postdoctoral research at the Scripps Research Institute. In the eyes of domestic classmates and relatives, they are already very remarkable, but in front of real scholars or scientists Tian Lu, they are real low-level scientific researchers!

It's just that to Zhao Jianfei's surprise, Tian Lu only hesitated slightly. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, tell me the place first." I'll get over it with a little bit of personal concern. ”

"Huh? Good, good! ”

Zhao Jianfei was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he hurriedly told Tian Lu the address of the restaurant he had booked.

"What about our evening flight? Is it in time? ”

Seeing Zhao Jianfei leave happily, Ye Lan blinked and asked. If she was given the choice, she would rather stay for one night, Ye Lan has lived in San Diego for two years and knows a lot of friends, but because the schedule is too tight, she didn't make an appointment to meet, so it's just right to stay. However, at this time, she was a little worried about the arrangements behind Tian Lu.

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Tian Lu groaned slightly, waved his hand and smiled: "It's good for me to say hello to Nofi." Mr. Philip, could you please help us get our tickets refunded for the evening, and then book a regular plane for the earliest tomorrow morning? ”

"Okay, Mr. Tian!"

Philip agreed without hesitation. His job is to drive the road and meet any of his needs, and he doesn't care about anything else.

Since he decided to stay for one night, Tian Lu would not hesitate any longer, called Nofi Company to explain, and then handed over the matter of changing the ticket and renewing the room to Philip, and came to the restaurant they booked by Zhao Jianfei alone. As for Ye Lan, she had already been busy making phone calls and asking her friends in San Diego to come out to catch up.

Someone once said that wherever there are Chinese people, there must be the most delicious Chinese restaurant!

Zhao Jianfei's place where they were entertained was one of the most famous local Chinese restaurants in San Diego, and Tian Lu didn't come here less back then, and sure enough, as Zhao Jianfei said, there were as many as nine people waiting for him in the private room of the restaurant!

"Hello everyone!"

Walking into the private room under the guidance of Zhao Jianfei, Tian Lu took the lead in greeting with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Tian!"

After seeing Tian Lu, everyone got up one after another, or warmly, respectfully, or restrainedly greeted each other.

Zhao Jianfei introduced Tian Lu one by one, among the nine people, there are eight men, only one is a woman, and only one is a postdoctoral student in the Department of Neurobiology of the Scripps Research Institute, and the others are engaged in research in stem cells, immunity and other disciplines.

"It's not easy for everyone!"

After a general understanding of the situation, Tian Lu couldn't help but sigh.

Studying is not an easy thing to do, and going abroad to study is even more difficult. Especially these people like you here, it is really very difficult to read all the way, although Tian Lu has not personally experienced this, but he has heard and seen a lot before.

"If it is not easy, it should be even more difficult for Mr. Tian!"

Luo Ting, a postdoctoral student in the Department of Immunology, said with a smile: "You must know that when I first went abroad to study, I planned to take the USMLE exam. But in the end, it didn't stick to it. Two years of time were wasted. ”

For most medical students studying abroad, they will never engage in basic research if they can choose to do clinical practice, not only because of the huge difference in income, but also because of the sense of identity and achievement.

In the United States. Every physician is an individual, as long as he has obtained a license, he can practice medicine and earn a very considerable income, but as a basic researcher, not only is the income relatively low. The point is that most people work in obscurity, and only a very few achieve excellent results. Not to mention that heavyweight papers like Tian Lu have been sent one after another, how many people can finally carry out a slightly larger project?

Seniority, capital, luck and other factors are all strong constraints.

"Okay, let's talk about the direction of our current research one by one, Zhao Jianfei, you come first!"

Tian Lu, who knew this very well, naturally understood the intention of everyone to invite him, so he didn't wait for others to ask questions. It started on its own initiative.

The others immediately quieted down, but Zhao Jianfei said in a deep voice: "Teacher Tian, my current research field is hematopoietic stem cells, and I am currently following Professor Leon. The main research directions are。。。。。。。 ”

After a brief introduction to his general situation, including the current situation and his thoughts on the future, Zhao Jianfei set his eyes on Tian Lu with great expectations. Although I know that my major is far from the other party, many aspects of scientific research are similar. It can be used as a reference in scientific research thinking and methods.

"Hmm。。。。。。"

After a little groaning, Tian Lu pursed his lips. Then he said with a smile: "Stem cells are a very large and promising direction in the field of basic research, but for an ordinary researcher, it is indeed difficult to produce any important results because of the high requirements for funding and equipment." However, I think you can change your thinking, don't blindly seek new and big, and turn your attention to some aspects that are easy to make, but more attractive, such as。。。。。。 ”

Different from the morning presentation, Tian Lu did not talk too much about the professional field for these compatriots, but focused on how to choose a topic and how to choose a research direction.

The existence of the system makes Tian Lu's topic absolutely not only limited to the field of neuromedicine, as long as it is engaged in by people here, it is what Tian Lu will mention, especially when analyzing some things as examples, intentionally or unintentionally, Tian Lu has "predicted" and analyzed some of the results that will be published in the next two or three years, so that people in related specialties can't help but shine in their eyes, and their hearts suddenly speed up!

Of course, these examples are not just given by Tian Lu!

Academically speaking, although these things are not the most important in the professional field, they are often a key point, and as long as there is a conclusion, a long list of topics and achievements can be brought out, which can be said to be quite important. In terms of the difficulty of implementation, the amount of money and time required for these projects is not large, and if one or two people do it with all their might, two years will be enough.

The most important thing is that, in terms of fit, almost every one of these topics proposed by Tian Lu is close to everyone's current research direction, as long as you turn a little or take a step sideways, you can smoothly turn to this aspect!

In other words, these topics are tailored to everyone present!

At first, one or two didn't feel it, but when Tian Lu analyzed everyone's situation and made them feel that they had gained a lot or were happy, someone finally felt that something was wrong!

"Mr. Tian, Mr. Tian, you are in the field of expertise for all of us。。。。。。 Are there all studies? ”

After analyzing the last person, Liu Zhen, the only woman in the room, blushed on her face and stammered.

"Sizzle。。。。。。"

At the moment when Liu Zhen's words fell, the others seemed to be hit on the head, and the private room suddenly sounded chaotic, but equally loud and cold!

Don't......

Are there really all the researches?
