Perhaps with the great goal of developing SCIENCE, Chen Linyou and Wang Xin have become particularly hard to learn Python. Until nine o'clock in the evening, they had not shown the slightest sign of leaving the laboratory, which made Qi Min a little embarrassed.

She said that posting SCIENCE is simply blowing it, but in fact, she didn't dare to vote for SCIENCE at all in her original article, let alone the magazines that were voted for in the second district after they were rejected. Now it's just that the construction of the brain-like body has been added, and the original data sample size has been questioned, and the brain-like body built on this basis may not be saved. And if she is asked to supplement the data of neuronal connection detection, it will be a little difficult for Qi Min in this laboratory where there is nothing.

Qi Min felt that her topic was also water and water funds, water and water articles, and in addition, she sent out the articles that she should have used for doctoral graduation, and then the annual assessment of the gangsters would be about the same. The Chinese Technical University attaches more importance to the transformation of achievements, and the research support of pure natural sciences is relatively weak, so if she wants to mix well in this school, she still has to do something more closely integrated with practical application in the future.

But what to do?

If she can build and test a full-size brain-like body by the end of the year, she will have to start working on new projects after the Chinese New Year. In order to apply for next year's funding before the Spring Festival holiday for the relevant auditors, the work of writing the project book has to be done in advance.

It seems that it is not too early to think about what to do in the future. QI MIN OPENED THE NEWS INTERFACE OF SCIENCE AND NATURE AND GLANCED TWICE, AND SAW A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE COULDN'T DO IT AT ALL IN HER CURRENT LABORATORY, WHICH HAD NOTHING.

However, Qi Min saw from these websites that the topic of environmental protection is still quite important, and the most equipment she now has in the bioinformatics laboratory is the PCR machines left by those retired teachers. She sat in front of the computer and thought about it for several hours, and finally came up with a really feasible new direction: PCR identification of microbial genes in soil samples, and at the same time scoring local soil according to the status of contamination, and then using deep learning to find the relationship between soil pollution and microbiota changes.

Although this sounds a bit of a routine, this direction will require the collection of a lot of wet experiment data, and the general pure bioinformatics laboratory will not be too willing to do it, so this is also an advantage for Qi Min, who is from a wet experiment background.

While the two doctoral students were learning Python, Qi Min checked some literature in the laboratory and spent three days writing the project book first.

——

On Saturday of the first week Chen and Wang Xin entered the lab, Qi Min asked them to go back and complete a small problem of protein sequence alignment in Python, which they would show when they met on Sunday to test their learning.

Of course, the problem is all done, after all, this thing can be found casually on ithub, and if they learn to find open source code from Github, this is also a skill. But what Qi Min wants to see is whether they can explain the principles and logic, rather than copying them directly from the tutorial or other people's code.

Chen Linyou and Wang Xin also completed this task well, although Qi Min knew that they must have discussed it in private, and the code they wrote was to change the difference in parameter names.

After the two of them finished speaking, Qi Min said, "Hey, you two wrote it together, right?" ”

"Ah...... yes, yes. Chen Linyou was immediately stunned.

However, Wang Xin was quite calm, and asked Qi Min, "Senior sister, how can you see it?" ”

"Your code is just a difference in the name of the parameter." Qi Min said with a smile, and comforted them again, "I'm not saying that you can't learn from each other, you definitely have to cooperate in the same laboratory." But if it's the result of collaboration, can you tell your personal contributions? ”

Such a few lines of code should have been written by one person, and it is obviously not cost-effective for such a small amount of work.

Qi Min originally thought that the code should be written by Chen Linyou, who had a foundation in the C language, but the tall and thin young man said: "The code was originally written by Wang Xin...... The loop I wrote earlier had the wrong structure, or she found out. After that, I changed it to the current one based on her code. ”

Hearing this, Qi Min couldn't help but be a little surprised, it seems that these two people still discussed with each other after writing the code, this kind of honest style of study is rare, especially under the premise that they are not required to complete it independently.

"Is the misstructured code you wrote still there?" Qi Min asked by the way.

Chen Linyou immediately took out the original code from his notebook and projected it onto the screen.

Qi Min glanced at it, in fact, his method was not wrong, but it was a little troublesome, because there were many sites that were not matched for their use, so it might be time-consuming to run. However, it is normal for a newbie to write code like this.

"This one actually works...... But the one Wang Xin wrote is of course better. Qi Min commented, "In this way, you have all learned to write Python, so I will send you the project book you are working on now, if there is anything you don't understand, I will talk about it tomorrow?" ”

Chen Linyou and Wang Xin nodded hurriedly, and the meeting was over.

was about to leave the conference room, Qi Min was about to pull the adapter of the projector from his notebook, but Wang Xin asked, "Senior sister, do you want to have lunch together?" ”

Qi Min was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay...... What do you eat? ”

"Let's ......" Wang Xin looked at Chen Linyou, who shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter, so she proposed, "Why don't we order a takeout?" ”

"Okay." Qi Min didn't care about this, but she suddenly remembered that she had promised Hua Ruiming to fight takeout next time, so she said, "If you want to order takeout together, can I call someone else?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xin and Chen Linyou glanced at each other and showed a slightly ambiguous smile.

"Of course, how can it not be." Wang Xin smiled slyly.

So Qi Min sent a WeChat message to Hua Ruiming, and soon the other party replied: "Okay, what kind of food do you want to eat?" ”

Qi Min asked the two doctoral students, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I'll do it all." Chen Linyou said.

Wang Xin thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of us, why don't we eat pizza?" ”

Qi Min replied to Hua Ruiming: "There are still two people in my laboratory to eat, why don't you eat pizza?" ”

"Okay, look at this." Hua Ruiming replied, followed by a link, and added another sentence, "You can order it." ”

Qi Min clicked on the link and dragged it to the projection screen, and together with Chen Linyou and Wang Xin, he ordered something enough for four people to eat.

After returning to the laboratory to wait for takeout, Hua Ruiming asked on WeChat again: "Come to a game while waiting for dinner?" ”

Qi Min was a little hesitant, as the PI of the laboratory, it was not good to take the lead in playing games, and he was still playing with doctoral students from other departments, and he was suspected of bringing other students.

But it's impossible not to play, because it's impossible to be a lab PI ring game, even if you play badly, you have to play it.

Qi Min replied decisively: "Okay." ”

However, when she opened the chicken mobile game, she happened to be seen by Chen Linyou: "Wow, senior sister, you also eat chicken?" ”

"Really?" Wang Xin immediately came to join in the fun, "Can you take me?" I just started playing. ”

Qi Min had to sigh that the current doctoral students are too bold, and there are still clamoring for the PI of the laboratory to take him to play games. However, it was also her mistake in playing games in the lab in the first place, not to mention that it was the weekend, so she had a theoretical break.

"Okay...... Okay. Qi Min said helplessly, "I don't have a good time, let's help each other." ”
