Chapter 43 The literati are contemptuous
O'Brien has curly hair, thick limbs, but a pair of glasses, and a smile on his face that makes people feel a little out of place, but he is very warm to people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Listen to Rory, you are Chinese, right?" O'Brien asked, "It's the first time I've met my colleagues from China, and it sounds strange, I've seen Japanese and Koreans, but I don't know the difference at all. ”
"Are you going to the river? It's a nice view, and when I was a master's student, I used to go there with Melissa, who was my girlfriend, and she was always very gentle, but when it got hot, it was really unbearable. ”
"By the way, Rory asked me to tell you about tomorrow's exchange meeting, this is your first time attending, right? Let me see, it's not a big deal, there are too few people doing sports medicine research, the exchange meeting is always so demanding, few people come to participate, the last time it was held in Ohio, I didn't go, but I heard that there were only about 20 people, not as many as my classmates, when the time came to go up to give a speech, there were only 20 people listening, and Rory also asked me to prepare a speech, but for more than 20 listeners, I might as well go to the street to tell the people, how to do healthy exercise on weekdays, that will attract a lot of people to listen......"
"I like the feeling of being in the middle and then a bunch of people around you, and they're all going to be very serious, not like professors or whatever, they don't have any interest in your presentation, and coming here is more like a public tour."
O'Brien's mouth kept babbling, with such a guide who could speak, the atmosphere between the three of them would not seem awkward.
Next, O'Brien talked about the process of the meeting, which is basically similar to the content guidance of Shen Yang's email, that is, everyone goes up to give a speech, and then everyone has relevant discussions, the meeting will last for three days, two to three hours in the morning and afternoon, and the rest of the time is very casual, it doesn't matter if you participate or not, it depends entirely on personal interests.
O'Brien also said an interesting thing, "The sports medicine academic community in the United States is divided into two factions, one is headed by Ohio State University, they are the first university in the United States to open the discipline of sports medicine, and the other is us, the University of Florida, we are considered a rising star, but Ohio is the north, we are the south, the south and the north are like two countries, in short, we have a bad relationship with them." ”
Just as O'Brien was talking to Shen Yang and the others, Luo Rui and a few colleagues were also discussing.
"Luo Rui, I heard that the Chinese is only in his twenties?"
"No, I saw it at the door, and I felt like I was less than twenty years old, not even as old as ordinary students."
"How can you do such in-depth research at such a young age?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence?"
"Academic research didn't happen by chance! Maybe he's a genius! ”
"But he is too young, how much knowledge can he know at such a young age? Maybe this time we're going to be robbed of the limelight by the bastards from the north! ”
Several people were distressed, and Jon suddenly said a piece of news, "I heard that Hilton is preparing to publish his latest research, which seems to be related to human rehabilitation, and this time I guess he will steal the limelight again." ”
"This guy is a genius indeed!"
"I still hope that the Chinese can do something, it seems impossible."
Listening to the words of his colleagues, Rory was also a little worried, and he sighed, "Who let us not have any results?" There has been no progress on several issues recently, and it will only depend on the situation. ”
Jon said seriously, "Rory, we have to do something!" ”
"This is an exchange meeting on our premises! There are several large medical device companies that have come in and want to see if there are any research results that can help make medical devices, and there are several football and basketball team assistants, and they want to introduce some advanced sports concepts! ”
Rory rubbed his head and looked up at Jon, "I know it's an opportunity, but what are you going to do?" Just your almost excerpt of the theory of muscle coordination movement? ”
Jon suddenly stopped talking.
Several other people also looked at each other and closed their mouths decisively.
Luo Rui looked at a few colleagues and said seriously, "In the past year, we have not made much progress in various research topics, you know this situation, we just need to come up with our own things, academics are not intrigue, there is no progress in research, and it is not a shameful thing, this time it doesn't work, we will come again next time, and it will always be ......."
"After all, we can't let the northerners always ride on our heads!"
Rory said hatefully.
As the head of the University of Florida's Institute of Exercise Science, no one wants to overpower Ohio State more than he does.
The next morning, Shen Yang and Sister Wang came to the University of Florida together and entered the Institute of Sports Science.
There are people coming and going in front of the institute, and it is much more lively than yesterday.
The academic exchange meeting was held in a small conference room in the institute, and when the two of them arrived, there were already many people coming.
When they were in front of the door, they saw O'Brien, and then O'Brien led them to the conference room, and met a middle-aged man with a sharp-faced face, followed by several people, looking very imposing.
"That's the Hilton of Ohio State University! I'm a nasty guy, I heard that this time he is going to publish the latest research results! O'Brien whispered.
Hilton also saw them, and he didn't know each other, but he walked over directly.
In front of Shen Yang, Hilton stretched out his hand, "You are Shen from China?" I have read your published theory of coordinated movement recovery, and I have found another shortcut and opened up new ideas! I was wrong before, Chinese researchers are not useless, and you are still so young. ”
"Thank you!"
Shen Yang also stretched out his hand, but Hilton put it down directly, then turned his head and left, leaving a sentence, "But research is not something that depends on imagination alone, no one knows whether your theory is correct or not, because it can't be applied to practice at all, so it doesn't make any sense." ”
Shen Yang squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Hilton's back, he felt this guy's unfriendliness.
"Why is he like this?" Sister Wang asked.
O'Brien gestured to Hilton and explained, "He's at Ohio State, and he's always had a bad relationship with us, and they think that only Ohio State is the most orthodox and advanced in sports medicine research." ”
"Is that the case?"
O'Brien said embarrassedly, "That seems to be the case." ”
"Okay."
Shen Yang understood the reason why he was treated 'unfriendly'.
According to O'Brien, the University of Florida and Ohio State University have a direct competition in the field of sports science research, and Ohio State University has always been a leader in the field of sports science, and the University of Florida is a 'rising star', but it can already threaten Ohio State's position.
The two sides are in direct competition and will certainly lead to mutual unfriendliness.
There is an old Chinese saying, "The literati are light, and the warriors are heavy; There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts", which means that although there is a great faction dispute in martial arts, who is the first in the end, you will know when you come out to fight.
Masters make moves between them, and they generally stop at the point, and then they admire each other very much and become good friends!
However, the battle of words between the literati was inseparable, so because each sect insisted on its own words, no one was convinced, and finally broke up unhappily!
Shen Yang was invited by Professor Lowry, and was naturally considered the "University of Florida faction", standing in the same camp as the University of Florida, and would naturally be targeted by Ohio State University.
He is equivalent to lying down and getting shot!
"It seems that the so-called 'democratic' country of the United States is not harmonious, and even two sports science research institutions belonging to different universities will have such a complex confrontational relationship, let alone other aspects."
Shen Yang said in his heart.
