Chapter 55: Undergraduates
After Qi Min's website was completed, he reported it to the Faculty of Science. The teacher who manages the website of the Faculty of Science has added the website of the Bioinformatics Laboratory of the Department of Biology to the page of the Faculty of Science-Department of Biology, so Qi Min can be regarded as a person who has his own laboratory website.
However, because she hasn't posted any big articles, there are few people in the lab, there is only one photo of Activities, and Qi Min has not promoted it everywhere after the website was launched. ALTHOUGH SHE WANTS HER RESEARCH TO BE NOTICED BY OTHERS, SHE IS MORE AFRAID OF BEING SEEN AS A LOSER WHO HAS TO PROMOTE HER RESEARCH TOPIC IN HER CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.
However, perhaps Qi Min's website design is still doing well, or maybe it happened to catch up with the new PI who has an undergraduate preference, and on the third day of the website's launch, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Biology sent an email to Qi Min, asking if he could do his graduation project in the bioinformatics laboratory.
When he saw the email, Qi Min's heart was still a little excited. This is probably the first student to come to her lab simply because he is interested in her subject, right? After all, Wang Xin and Chen Linyou were "loaned" to Qi Min by their nominal mentors, although they must have also considered their own wishes, but there were still more elements of "arrangement".
But as a PI, you can't be too happy. Qi Min emailed the senior undergraduate named Bai Rong back and made an appointment to come to her office on Thursday afternoon to talk.
Since Wang Xin and Chen Linyou came, Qi Min hadn't used the office much. But if she wants to meet the undergraduates alone, she has to prevent Wang Xin and Chen Linyou from flirting with the juniors next to her, and she feels that she still has to use the office for this.
Qi Min thought for a while on Wednesday night, if this fourth-year undergraduate could come, he should be asked to do something. The level of undergraduates in the School of Science of China Technical University is still good, and they must take C language, and it is estimated that they can do some experimental work. However, this also has to take into account the personal wishes of the students, and many students of biology are not willing to do dry experiments. If he studied the direction of wet experiments for the first three years of college, it is not suitable for the fourth year graduation project to have dry experiments for others.
In the end, when Anton returned to the master bedroom after lulling Mimi to sleep, Qi Min suddenly thought that in fact, the undergraduate graduation projects of China Technical University were very watery, and this senior young man probably wouldn't spend too much effort in her laboratory.
To put it bluntly, isn't the graduation project just about taking undergraduates to experience the future scientific research life? Then just take him on a few trips to the "Nimbus" computing center. In this way, the young man can not only appreciate how expensive a supercomputer is, but also experience how hard it is to have to run back and forth due to the constraints of the experimental site, and also see how troublesome it is to do primate model animal experiments...... If he can continue to study for a PhD after graduation, then he is a strong-willed person.
Because of the high investment and low return, pure theoretical research is like this, and I have to work hard to do experiments and get to see people's faces everywhere. No matter how much the country asks for money, the country thinks you have not applied the results; Find the company for help, the company thinks you have little money and always bargains; Even if they could find a kind collaborator like researcher Zhou Xiaoshan, the collaborators would not be able to move the two laboratories together. To be honest, it's good to run back and forth in the same city, if the collaborator is abroad, you have to send a sample for at least a week.
Qi Min was lying on the bed, with the TV on the opposite side, but she was thinking about the laboratory and didn't look into it at all.
Anton took off the latex rubber band that tied his hair and asked her casually, "Why did you lie down so early?" ”
"There's no hurry, I'm too lazy to move." Qi Min replied briefly.
"Do you eat chicken?" Anton asked.
"Forget it." Qi Min yawned, "Lying down and playing with my phone, it hurts my nose when I fall it down." ”
Anton sat on the edge of her bed, seemed to observe her, and then said, "Why don't I give you a back press?" ”
This proposal surprised Qi Min a little. When she was studying for her Ph.D., she stayed in the laboratory for 12 hours, and when she came home at night, she felt very tired, so she pointed to Anton to serve her, and brought her tea and water for massage. But at that time, Anton was more tired at work, so he ignored her at all. And now that he took the initiative to offer to press her back, Qi Min couldn't help but be surprised.
"Do you have a request for me?" Qi Min turned over and asked.
"No, if you sit in the lab for a day, won't your back be stiff?" Anton asked curiously.
"I'm actually okay...... It's rare to spend hours on end bending over for experiments. Qi Min said with some hesitation, "But you are also a little strange, in the past, I refused to call you when I really had back pain, but now I took the initiative to come?" ”
However, Anton said: "I used to be much more tired than you every day, and it's not enough to come back to take care of Mimi, but also to serve you?" ”
Only then did Qi Min understand: "Then you are quite idle now, right?" Feeling uneasy? ”
Hearing her say this, Anton couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Are you looking for trouble?" I'm kind enough to help you massage, how can this be idle? ”
"No......" Qi Min realized that there was something wrong with her statement, "I mean...... Don't you feel unaccustomed to staying at home all day now? ”
"AM I WILLING TO RIDE A SCOOTER AROUND ALL DAY?" Anton frowned and said, "I can finally rest well, do I still feel unaccustomed?" Do you think I have masochistic tendencies? ”
Qi Min realized that she couldn't use gender stereotypes to set Anton at all. Come to think of it, his original plan was to live as a deputy chef who got up at 10 a.m. and worked eight hours a day, including two or three hours of leisure because there were no customers, but he was forced to be a delivery boy who ran out from morning to night every day. If he no longer thinks that working for capitalists is "glorious labor", it is estimated that he really has a masochistic tendency.
"Of course I don't." Qi Min smiled, "It's just ...... Mimi went to kindergarten, what are you doing at home? ”
"Prepare ingredients for lunch in the morning, ingredients for dinner in the afternoon, and ingredients for breakfast in the evening." Anton said naturally, "Otherwise, do you think that all you eat is made of magic?" ”
Qi Min was choked by him for a moment, and then he realized that even if Mimi was not at home, there was actually a lot of things to do. Anton was resting, but it was not possible – as she sometimes did – to be paralyzed on the couch for a day.
And Anton saw that she didn't make any moves, and asked again: "Do you still want a massage?" ”
"There's no need for a massage." Qi Min said leisurely, "I think we can do something a little happier......
"Oh? Okay. Anton had just unbuckled his lounge clothes, but he thought of something and stood up, walked to the bedroom door and screwed the latch.
"Uh...... This door lock does not enhance the sound insulation effect. Qi Min reminded him.
However, Anton said, "As long as Mimi doesn't come in halfway." ”
That...... That'll do the trick. Qi Min secretly felt that their way of raising children was a bit rough. But when she thought about it, she might be able to use this as an excuse to put a towel in Anton's mouth, and she felt even more excited......
