Chapter 206: The Unlucky Guy Who Was 'Pitted'
More than three hours later, the time has reached 12 o'clock, usually this time is already a lunch break, there will only be two people staring at the customer service hall, everyone else can go to lunch, but today's situation is different, the phone calls are coming one after another, Myerson has no way to let his subordinates rest.
Myerson can only ask everyone to keep working.
Soon someone stood up to express their dissatisfaction, and Sporgert was one of them, and he stood up and glanced around, and his colleagues were in a similar situation to himself, all of whom were constantly talking on the phone and patiently explaining.
But he really couldn't stand it anymore.
One of the important reasons why Sporgert did this job was that he was idle enough, he had a lot of time to rest and play, so he couldn't care so much, and shouted directly to Myerson, "I want to rest, I want to rest!" ”
When the shouts are heard, the others should join in.
Myerson hurriedly walked to the stage at the front of the hall, asked everyone to be quiet, and said seriously, "I'm a little busy with work right now, I've already ordered lunch for everyone, and I'll deliver it right away!" ”
This sentence has no effect at all.
Spott immediately complained, "But it can't go on like this, I work at least three times as much today as before, so I ask for three times the salary, otherwise I won't do it!" ”
"It's so tiring!"
"If I go to another job, I'm sure I'll get paid more!"
“”
Faced with a large group of dissatisfied employees, Myerson could only smile wryly, and could only be very dissatisfied with the temporary change of Science magazine award nominations by a few editors.
Everything was fine, why change the nomination of a world scientist? It's just a change, and one of the difficult guys who is quite influential in the world and has many fans was chosen, don't they know how much trouble it will bring? Didn't they think of that when they changed it?
"These fools who think they have superior IQs!" Myerson thought.
The job of customer service supervisor in Science magazine does not require too high a degree of education, and Myerson graduated from an ordinary university. It's also from the ordinary customer service staff step by step, he usually hates those editors who think highly of themselves, those guys are at least doctors from various famous universities, just like that, they are more or less a bit of intellectual superiority, and the tone of looking down on people is on the surface.
Now, get in trouble, right?
Changing a nomination for an award, and the other party is still an influential figure in the world, is completely self-inflicted.
If you do this, wouldn't it be nice not to nominate before?
TMD: Why don't they put Michael Jordan in it. Then change it, and then change it, and when the time comes, the headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science will probably be smashed by Jordan's angry fans!
Luckily, this guy is a European football coach and his fans are all in Europe or China
But in any case, now that the trouble was on his head, Myerson could only try to reassure the employees, and he didn't want half of his employees to leave their posts after this incident. Then the trouble will be even greater.
Fortunately, the work on weekdays is quite leisurely, the treatment of employees is better, and more overtime pay can still be appeased.
But what Myerson didn't expect was that this was just the beginning
A day has passed. The customer service hall at Science Magazine's headquarters is still filled with phone calls.
Myerson has long reflected the situation.
In fact, he didn't need to react at all, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which is published by Science magazine, has already gotten the news because their other departments have also been hit. The matter had even been poked in front of Philip Sharp, president of the Association for the Advancement of Science, who had received more than a dozen similar messages that day.
Philip Sharp is a geneticist and molecular biologist born in the United States in 1944. After graduating from Confederation College, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, after which he worked as a researcher at the California Institute of Technology and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory before moving to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1974, where he became director of the Department of Biology in 1991.
In 1993, Philippe Sharp was awarded the Robert Prize in Physiology and Medicine for the discovery of the break gene.
Philip Sharp was then invited to serve as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, where he assumed the presidency seven years later.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science is a consortium of the world's largest science and engineering associations and the largest non-profit international science and technology organization, with 21 professional chapters, involving natural sciences and social sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, and biology.
Now, they have 265 branches and 10 million members.
Its annual meetings are an important gathering of the scientific community, and in recent years, each annual meeting has attracted thousands of scientists and thousands of science journalists.
As the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Philip Sharp is still very busy with his work, and he has to do his own research, so he can't find time to manage the affairs of Science magazine.
In Philip Sharp's view, it was just a journal published by a world scientific event, and it was only young scientists who wanted to 'become famous' or who wanted to learn more about it would pay attention to those things.
But what Philip Sharp didn't expect was that today's "Science" magazine matter found his head, because "Science" magazine is issued by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and he is the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, so a lot of news and feedback poked him here, if one or two would be fine, but there was too much news, and he had to ask.
Philip Sharp quickly understood what was going on, and at the same time carefully looked at the young Chinese's paper on sports recovery theory that was canceled from the nomination.
"What a genius idea!"
Philip Sharp is an American geneticist and molecular biologist, his research field, and sports recovery is also a little related, so he can easily understand what the paper says, after reading the whole content, he also has to sigh the genius of the author of the paper, but also know why this young Chinese can be nominated for the "world's top ten scientists of the year" with a paper.
But why was he denominated?
Philip Sharp didn't ask directly, but thought about it carefully, and soon he thought of a possible reason, "Maybe they think it's this theory of motor recovery." Some of the contents cannot be proven, and may be forged or false? In addition, it is unlikely that the theory will be turned into practical application in the short term? ”
He understood something.
Sure enough, when Philip Sharp called Ms. Marcia McNart, who was in charge, he got such an answer.
But giving an answer did not solve the problem, and Philip Sharp immediately asked the people in charge to hold a press conference to clarify the matter, because he knew that the longer the matter dragged on, the more doubts would be raised, and the more unclear it would be
The American Association for the Advancement of Science is not the only one in trouble, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Department has also received many complaints about Science magazine.
If only there were a few phone calls. It's not worth paying attention to, after all, the American Association for the Advancement of Science is not a for-profit organization, and Science magazine is not published purely for profit.
But there were so many calls that they had to ask.
So the U.S. Securities Regulatory Department set up a temporary investigation team to go to the headquarters of Science magazine to investigate whether there was any other inside story about this matter.
With the investigation by the US Securities Regulatory Department, the person in charge of the matter had to come forward and make a special explanation.
In fact, the inside story is that LeBron Jensen was very dissatisfied with Wan Sheng, so he found Marcia McNat and canceled Wan Sheng's place, but Marcia McNart, who is quite influential in the scientific community, will definitely not admit this. All she could say was to repeat what Philip Sharp had said, "We think there is something about his theory that simply cannot be proven." There may be false parts, and even if the theory is correct, I want to apply it to practice. It's not something that can be done with the current level of technology. ”
"So we canceled his nomination, and Sheehan's insect research was much more conducive to scientific applications in comparison. It also makes a greater contribution to the development of science in the world. ”
McNutt then emphasized, "This is not my decision alone, I have no right to change this nomination directly, and Dr. Jake-S. Yeston and Dr. Vaughan C. Tourakian share my opinion, and the three of us made the decision together." ”
Later, Dr. Jake-S. Yeston and Dr. Vaughan C. Tourekian also came forward to admit this.
In fact, both of them were very dissatisfied with Marcia McNart, Science magazine's "Top Ten Scientists in the World of the Year" selection was a place drawn up by many editors, and Dr. Jake-S-Yeston questioned Wansheng's nomination, but it was only a question, not a complete denial, and the nomination of "Wansheng" was also accepted by most people at that time.
It was nothing to do, but when McNatt approached him and seriously supported his views, Dr. Jake-S-Yeston was very happy because, unlike McNart, he was just a newcomer to Science magazine.
Jake-S-Yeston graduated from Harvard University in 1996, received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2001, did postdoctoral research in Germany for several years, and joined the editorial team of Science in 2004.
At the time, he wanted to find a job in Washington, so he looked at the CE News job ad every week, and after seeing the Science ad, he thought, I should be good at it, so he applied for a career as a science editor that he had never thought of.
He was an absolute newcomer to Science's editorial team, so he was so happy to receive McNutt's support that he agreed to McNutt to cancel the nomination with him.
According to the rules for the review of the content of the journal Science, at least three editors at or above the director level must agree before a nomination for an award can be changed on an ad hoc basis.
So McNatt approached Vaughan C. Tourekian again, and when he heard that Jake-S. Yeston also agreed to the resolution, he agreed without much thought, and the three of them canceled the nomination together.
In fact, Jake-S-Yeston and Vaughan C. Tourekian were thrown into the water by McNatra without knowing the situation at all, but the three of them canceled their nominations together, and now that something is wrong, the three of them will definitely have to stand up together and explain why.
Because of this, both of them felt that they were being 'pitted' by this old woman, McNutt
