Columbia University, the name may not be as familiar as Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, etc., but this is definitely a world-class top university, if you count the alumni, Columbia University has won more than 100 Nobel Prizes. Even in the United States, where there are many famous medical schools, Columbia University School of Medicine is among the best, and the strength of neurobiology and neurosurgery is quite strong, so it is naturally one of the best partners of Tianlu.

Except for being invited to the New York Consulate as a guest, Tian Lu was almost always in the laboratory and neurosurgery department of Columbia University before the award ceremony, visiting his partners and visitors.

Of course, everyone welcomed Tian Lu, the winner of the Lasker Prize, and a professor of neurobiology and neurosurgery who had already achieved great student fame, and invited Tian Lu to give two lectures on the blood-brain barrier and neurosurgery in one day, each of which far exceeded the number of people in the school auditorium, and many even stood there for two hours......

The richer life is full, and time flies.

On the morning of the 24th, the award ceremony of the Lasker Awards opened as scheduled.

Compared with the Nobel Prize, although the Lasker Prize is also the top international level, its influence is really much worse. Unlike entertainment awards such as the Oscars, almost no one wants to watch them. It's just that because it is second only to Nobel in the field of biomedicine, there are still many reporters at the scene, of course, the American media occupies the vast majority. There were also three or four reporters from Huaguo, basically all of whom were based in New York, and they gathered around Tian Lu to conduct interviews before the ceremony began, which can be regarded as accumulating some necessary materials.

The process of the award ceremony was also a bit lackluster, and compared to the solemnity and formality of the Swedes, the American award ceremony was also a lot more casual, and there were only six winners. Naturally, the process didn't take long. Tian Lu didn't feel much to take the trophy and certificate from the presenter, and then gave a relatively bland acceptance speech.

This kind of reaction is actually quite decent, but compared to the excitement and excitement of the other five winners, Tian Lu's performance still made a few people feel a little surprised......

"Professor Tian. Congratulations again, and thank you for winning honor for the motherland!"

After the award ceremony. At the luncheon at noon. Zou Yuncheng, the consul general of the Chinese Consulate in New York, raised his glass with a smile and said to Tian Lu.

As a diplomat, Zou Yuncheng's efforts to publicize the motherland's culture, science and technology are one of Zou Yuncheng's important tasks. He is naturally very happy to attend such an event, and if a scientist from outside the United States wins the award, the organizing committee will naturally not forget to invite the consuls general of various consulates in New York to attend, so Zou Yuncheng and Tian Lu met for the second time.

"Thank you. ”

Smiling slightly, Tian Lu smiled at his compatriots, and then took a sip of mellow wine.

"Does Professor Tian have time at night?".

Putting down the cup in his hand, Zou Yuncheng then smiled: "Last time, the time was too rushed, the consulate organized a party tonight, including the consulate staff, as well as some Chinese representatives in New York, I want to hold a small celebration banquet for you, I don't know if you ......"

"Hehe, everyone is so polite. ”

Tian Lu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Of course I want to participate in such an event, but I will leave for Baltimore early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid it won't be too late." ”

"Baltimore, leaving early tomorrow morning?"

Hearing this, Zou Yuncheng was slightly stunned, and Zou Yuncheng immediately asked with some surprise.

"Yes. ”

Tian Lu nodded and said with a smile: "I have made an appointment with Hopkins University, and I will go to have an academic exchange tomorrow." Actually, I'm going to spend about two weeks in the U.S., the first few days I'll be transferring to a few universities near the East Coast, going to a few partners, and the next few days going to California...... As you know, I used to be a resident in San Francisco, so I still have a lot of old friends over there, so I took the opportunity to check them out. ”

Hearing Tian Lu say this, Zou Yuncheng felt a little regretful in his heart, but he couldn't help but praise again.

When he first learned that a professor from Beijing Normal University in China had won the Lasker Prize, and someone informed Zou Yuncheng that he should pay proper attention to it and receive it, he didn't take it too seriously at the time, thinking that it was just an ordinary award. But when he handed over the task to his subordinates to prepare, and the young secretary came over with a shocked face after understanding it, and told Zou Yun the meaning of the basic medicine award won by Nari Tian Lu, he was shocked, and immediately attached great importance to Tian Lu's arrival. It's just that Zou Yuncheng was a little embarrassed that although he changed his mind and finally made complete preparations in advance, wanting to give Tian Lu a warm welcome, what he didn't expect was that the other party directly rejected his arrangement!

Of course, Tian Lu's reason was to go to Columbia University to give two lectures and visit him, which was a normal arrangement for scientists, and Zou Yuncheng had no reason to oppose it.

But now it seems that even if he didn't know what this Lasker Award represented, Zou Yuncheng was very clear about the achievements and prestige of this domestic Professor Tian in the academic world.

Columbia University School of Medicine, Hopkins University, including the University of California, Zou Yuncheng still knows, and knows very well that they belong to one of the top groups even in the United States. These three colleges and universities alone are enough to explain everything, not to mention that Tianlu has made it clear that the East Coast is going to transfer several colleges and universities, and they are all their own partners. That would be enough to say a lot.

"Then I'll wish you a smooth journey in advance!"

may also see that his status in Tian Lu's mind will definitely not be higher than those so-called partners, so Zou Yuncheng did not force it, just nodded, smiled and sent his blessings. After all, the two are characters in completely different fields, and in this life, I am afraid that there will only be such a one-time deal......

From the 25th, Tian Lu began a half-month trip to the United States.

and his younger brother Tian Yong, one person has a trolley box, and they visit a city every two days. Rushed to the place in the morning. In the afternoon, I visited old friends, and the next morning held a lecture, and then in the afternoon and evening, I spent time discussing cooperation topics and interacting with local Chinese students.

The daily schedule is compact and fulfilling, but it is not hard for Tianlu. After all, with his current status and academic status. Naturally, everything was arranged in advance. He didn't have to worry about it at all, and as for speeches and other aspects of communication, it was a breeze. Talking and laughing can solve the problem......

“…… The duration of the presentation was two hours, of course, how long it would take depends on the specific situation, but because there were too many people to make reservations, we temporarily changed the venue to a larger auditorium, so ......"

With his hands spread, Professor Harry, who was in charge of receiving Tian Lu at Harvard University, smiled slightly apologetically.

In the last two days of September, the two arrived at the last stop on the East Coast of the United States, a city known as Athens in the United States. The Boston metropolitan area is home to more than 100 universities and more than 200,000 students are educated here. Harvard, MIT, Tufts University, Boston University, Brandeis University and many other prestigious universities are located among them.

There are several very good medical schools in Boston, such as Harvard's medical school, which is the world's top level, plus it is the capital of the state and the largest city, and there are many large medical institutions, so Tian Lu's public speech naturally attracted a lot of people to participate.

"I don't care, as long as you have your arrangements in place. ”

Of course, Taro won't complain about anything about it. Although the cooperation with Harvard Medical School is only one research, in view of the strength of the other party in neurobiology, Tian Lu hopes to further cooperate in the future.

"Jingle Bell ......"

While chatting with Professor Harry, Tian Lu's mobile phone suddenly rang, he smiled apologetically at the other party, got up and connected He Tianlin's phone: "Hey, Tianlin, is there anything to find me?"

"There's nothing concrete. ”

He Tianlin's voice sounded a little tired, and he said in a suppressed voice: "It's just to call you to say hello, besides, tomorrow is the 30th, the last day before the National Day, do you have anything special to explain?"

"Oh, no, no, you can arrange it yourself. ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Lu shook his head with a smile, and then said, "This time must be very hard?"

"It's really not hard at work, it's mainly that there are too many other chores!"

Hearing Tian Lu provoke this remark, He Tianlin suddenly poured bitter water and said: "Director, don't you know, you are naturally not afraid when you go to the United States, but since these riddles, leaders at all levels, as well as media reporters of all sizes, are really sure that they are tossed and miserable, and they dare not offend any of them, so that I can only deal with them during the day now, and I can only do something serious after work!"

"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me?"

Hearing He Tianlin say this, Tian Lu's voice suddenly became serious.

"It's not Nobel Prize Week, it's almost here!"

He Tianlin smiled helplessly: "Didn't you just get the Citation Laureate Award again? In order not to interfere with their work, I can only ...... Alas, I heard that Zhao Yue over there in the research institute is also the same as me during this time!"

Whether it's a research institute or a neurosurgery department, after all, it's a subordinate department of a school and a hospital, and neither of them dares to refuse the leaders' requests, unlike the future biology, who can do anything if Qian Lele ignores it?

"Uh......"

Tian Lu was stunned again, and he had nothing to say.

Before he made the country, wasn't it precisely for this reason that Tian Lu made plans to stay for a while longer? At this time, imagining the hard work of Zhao Yue and He Tianlin, he also felt a little guilty in his heart.

However, guilt is guilty, it is definitely impossible to make Tian Lu choose to go back in advance, he can only comfort He Tianlin with a wry smile now: "Tianlin, hold on a little longer, it will be the National Day soon, and the Nobel Prize Week will soon arrive, and they will definitely be able to stop by surviving the day when the results of the Physiology and Medicine Awards are announced." I'll give you a week's rest when I get back, and then you'll have a good rest............

Sorry, I haven't been able to log in to the author's area, it's a little late. (To be continued......)
