Chapter 629: Academic Lectures as Usual
“…… So, let's invite this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, Lasker Prize in Basic Medicine, Professor Emeritus at Scripps Research Institute, and Professor Tian Lu from the School of Medicine of Huaguo Jingshi University!"
"Boom la la ......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
With the passionate introduction of Professor Bruce, the head of the Department of Neurobiology, the sound of chairs slamming was followed by thunderous applause!
It's like tearing down the roof of the auditorium!
Under the gaze of nearly 1,000 members of the audience, although he only rested for more than three hours at night, Jing Shen walked up to the rostrum step by step, and then stood still when he walked to the most zhongyāng position, bowing to the audience with a faint smile.
At this moment, the applause that has been going on has finally reached the highest cháo!
When Tian Lu got up and walked to the podium, Tian Lu nodded to the audience again, and the applause gradually decreased, and finally the auditorium was quiet. It was utterly silent, quiet without a hint of sound, in stark contrast to the thunderous applause just now, as if two worlds were completely different from the present.
"Thank you!"
Taking a deep breath, the first sentence of standing on the podium, Tian Lu chose to thank him, he bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor that I am back here again, standing on the podium of Scripps again, and even more fortunately. About 10 years ago, I started my research on the blood-brain barrier here, and now, 10 years later, I have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for my blood-brain barrier theory!
"Boom!"
Like a bomb being detonated, the auditorium was boiling again!
If the warm applause just now was because of Tian Lu's great achievements, then the researchers in the audience are applauding purely for Tian Lu's words.
As Scrippsians, we are certainly filled with pride. And Tian Lu did not shy away from his study career here. And it was publicized so loudly in public, which naturally aroused the favor of most people.
And from the very beginning of Professor Bruce's introduction, everyone knows that since the news that he has won the Nobel Prize in the early morning, in order to ensure that this morning's academic speech will not be affected in any way. Tian Lu not only refused all media interviews. He even kept his phone turned off all the time!
This attitude of responsibility to all. It's really admirable.
You must know that Tian Lu won the Nobel Prize, the highest honor in the life of all scientists, today is the Nobel Prize, and many people ask themselves that he may not go in this situation. At least I won't be relieved to finish this morning's academic report!
What everyone doesn't know is that in fact, after meeting Tian Lu in the morning, Professor Bruce not only sent congratulations as soon as possible, but also proposed to postpone or even cancel today's academic speech, but Tian Lu refused without hesitation, and it was precisely to prove that he was not joking that he deliberately kept his mobile phone turned off. In Tian Lu's view, winning the Nobel Prize is certainly exciting, but compared to the nearly 1,000 researchers waiting for the morning academic speech, he doesn't feel that it is important for him to enjoy the joy!
"The content of my speech today is still about the blood-brain barrier. ”
Standing on the podium, Tian Lu said calmly and seriously: "Although the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to me only this year, the honor definitely does not belong to me alone. Since more than 100 years ago, countless scientists and neurologists have contributed a lot to the establishment and improvement of this system, including the Department of Neurobiology at Scripps Research Institute, such as the research team led by my partner Professor Linna, who is also the recipient of this honor!"
As soon as Tian Lu's words fell, the audience was silent for a moment, and the applause rang out for the third time.
Perhaps in the hearts of many people, they feel that Tian Lu said these words because of the unique modesty of the Chinese people, but only at this time, he was calm and unusually calm on the stage, and he knew very well that his achievements in the field of blood-brain barrier came from the future resident decision support system, and the knowledge in it was the result of the joint efforts of countless scientists in "history"!
After the applause stopped again, Tian Lu smiled slightly, and finally opened the slide he had made: "Yes, the blood-brain barrier theory has been preliminarily perfected in a sense, which is a huge progress for neuroscience! However, the improvement of the theory has only just begun, if the theory is applied to practice, that is, applied to clinical work, not only needs the efforts of neurologists, but also needs our basic researchers to further promote through experiments!" So, let's start today's academic report, the topic is the impact of the establishment of the blood-brain barrier theory system on the development of neuroclinical medicine, and the content is mainly explained from five aspects......"......
While Tian Lu was giving his academic report on the podium of the Scripps Research Institute, both North America, where he is now located, and Europe, where the Nobel Prize was awarded, set off a not-so-small stir in just a few hours because of the release of the first prize of this year's Nobel Prize Week.
The news media in Europe and the United States are undoubtedly the most developed in the world, and they have always paid great attention to the Nobel Prize, and they started many special programs as early as an hour before the announcement of the winners, inviting relevant medical experts or critics to prepare to comment on this year's physiology and medicine prize winners and their scientific research achievements as soon as possible, and to popularize science to the general public.
But when the list was announced, many people were stunned!
At the scene of the Nobel special program that is being broadcast live on N TV in the United States, the host with black skin has a big mouth. He was extremely surprised and said, "Oh my God, it's that Huaguo Tian!"
After speaking, the black host immediately turned his head to look at one of the two special guests today, and even asked with a little doubt in his tone: "Professor Angus, I remember that you just said that although this Professor Tian can definitely win the Nobel Prize, it will definitely not be this year, but two years at the earliest, so what do you think of this result now?"
"This ......"
Professor Angus opened his mouth, but did not say anything, and the expression on his face naturally looked extremely embarrassed.
But this one just now swore to refute another guest on the show. Professor Angus, who said that Tian Lu would definitely not win the award this year, really has nothing to say. Questioning the impartiality of the Nobel Prize? That will only make all the people in the medical community who see the program, especially those in the neurological community, criticize him! So in addition to being embarrassed, this Professor Angus can only complain about the Nobel Prize Committee in his heart.
"So Professor Alfred, what do you think of this Chinese scientist's award? And it's an exclusive prize for physiology and medicine!"
Seeing that Professor Angus did not dare to speak. The host's eyebrows furrowed. Turning to another guest on the show, he asked. This guest is very optimistic about Tian Lu. Listing the Lasker Award and the Citation Laureate Award, I am sure that Tian Lu's award this year may still be very high.
Professor Alfred, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a knowing woman, was silent for a long time. Nodding heavily, he said in a deep voice: "There is no dispute! This is an undisputed result, I can only say, congratulations to Professor Tian Lu, and also to Hua Guo, who won the Nobel Prize in science and technology for the first time......
Needless to say, there is not much controversy about Tian Lu's award, and many critics who have been prepared in advance have given their own conclusions for the first time: the Chinese people deserve to win the first Nobel Prize in science and technology, and the improvement of the blood-brain barrier theoretical system is definitely worthy of the Nobel Prize Committee to let Tian Lu enjoy this honor!
Medical scientists and critics in Europe and the United States have been extremely objective in this regard, although a very small number of people have some doubts about Tian Lu's award so quickly, but it was quickly buried under the mainstream voice of approval, and most people are not very resistant to the Chinese people winning the award. After all, in the more than 100 years of Nobel Prize awarding history, there has never been a shortage of outstanding scientists from these two continents, especially the United States, it is not unusual to win the Nobel Prize, but if it does not win the Nobel Prize in any year, it is a rare thing!
In addition to admiring Yu Tianlu's scientific research achievements, a small number of Americans showed a kind of uneasiness, uneasiness about the development of science and technology in China.
With the increasing economic aggregate of China and the rapid development in various fields, major scientific projects such as the moon landing program have made Americans feel the slightest pressure, and Tian Lu won the Nobel Prize this year, which has added a weight to this pressure!
Many times, something is like a layer of window paper, once pierced, it can no longer be covered.
Although the gap between China and the United States is still very obvious in terms of overall strength in the field of science and technology, in view of the ideological differences between the two sides, coupled with China's huge population base and ultra-high development rate, any American with a long-term vision can see a faint worry.
In addition to these chaotic thoughts, there are also a considerable number of Americans who pay attention to some news tidbits, such as Tian Lu's five years as a resident at the nationally renowned San Francisco Medical Center, two years of basic research at the more famous Scripps Research Institute, and the award-winning blood-brain barrier theory began in San Diego, where the first weighty paper was written!
Of course, there are also some people who pay attention to the way Tian Lu learned the news of the award.
Every year when the Nobel Prize is announced, what the laureates are doing when they are notified and what the reaction is is a topic of great interest to the public, and the media are often happy to pay attention to such small details, often reporting in detail.
This year, Tian Lu's reaction was indeed quite dramatic, and for the first time, he did not hesitate to refuse the Nobel Prize Committee's call! This news leaked from the hotel staff immediately made many people feel that Tian Lu was quite interesting...... (To be continued......)
