Monday, October 23rd.

Zhou Qiao took Murphy and Stephanie to Boston again to participate in the award ceremony of the surgery competition and the offline academic exchange forum.

The location is still the last Boston City Hall.

Many people congratulated Zhou Qiao and greeted him warmly.

After the much-anticipated live broadcast of the operation, everyone is completely convinced, and the most important thing is that Zhou Qiao is only 24 years old now, and his future is immeasurable.

"Haha, Dr. Zhou, two beautiful ladies, it is said that Academician Domitry Cobb wants to take the three of you as apprentices, Academician Domitry is from our Harvard University, is a Nobel Prize winner in medicine, highly respected, I used to want to do research with his old man when I was studying, and he still doesn't look down on me. What an envy! ”

Dr. Katrina from the Mayo Clinic came over to say hello, and after a few pleasantries, released the gossip.

Dr. Katrina was the third place finisher, tied for third with Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic and Stephanie of the Iris Clinic.

However, he is a bit old, already 40 years old, and if this tournament is held a year later, he is not expected to be eligible to participate.

Of course, if the organizer loosens the age limit a little more, such as forty-five years old, he can still do it.

Many countries hold similar competitions, such as China, which sets the age of young doctors at under 45.

In China, the same is true for applying for "Outstanding Young Scholars".

Even, there is the latest news, the National Natural Science Foundation of China has clearly relaxed the age limit for women to apply for "Outstanding Youth" from 45 years old to 48 years old.

After all, many people are about 30 years old after graduating with a doctorate, and women still have a pregnancy and lactation period, which will delay some time.

If you have a second or third child, you won't be able to start a career.

"Academician Dominory Cobb?" Zhou Qiao had heard it, but he really didn't pay attention to which one it was.

Murphy and Stephanie also had bright eyes, and they were very moved, if there is an academician master, there is no need to worry about academics in the future.

But after all, it was gossip, and the academicians didn't come to contact them, so they didn't behave too badly. And they didn't know what Zhou Qiao meant.

Soon, the awards ceremony officially began.

Zhou Qiao, as the first place and champion, has a particularly generous prize!

In addition to a trophy engraved with his name and a cash prize of $500,000, the "Yage Mohui" group will also award a "Prometheus-3000" surgical robot worth $3 million and exclusive to the doctor.

On the nameplate of this surgical robot, Zhou Qiao's name is also engraved.

This reward is the envy of everyone.

Although the contestants are basically from the head hospitals, and there are more or less several, or even dozens of such surgical robots in each hospital, there are not many contestants who have used this kind of surgical robot. Of the more than 1,000 people, at least five or six hundred have not touched it.

The main thing is that they are too young, and the hospital wants them to practice more of their surgical abilities on their hands, rather than with the help of robots.

Surgical robots are often used by senior, older specialists.

Like Zhou Qiao, at the age of 24, he has an exclusive "Prometheus-3000" surgical robot, which is really the only one in the United States.

It's just that Zhou Qiao feels a little chicken, because the iris clinic does not have the conditions to use this kind of surgical robot.

The iris clinic is only a small clinic, and the big cats and kittens add up to no more than ten people, and all kinds of supporting and rescue facilities are lacking. When it comes to major surgeries, he always goes to a community hospital or a University of California Medical Center.

Therefore, he decided to donate the latest $3 million "Prometheus-3000" surgical robot to the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center.

When the dean of the UCSF Medical Center heard about it, he was quite happy and thanked Zhou Qiao for his generosity. And said that if he wants to use it in the future, he can come and use it at any time. Zhou Qiao always enjoys free use and priority use.

In fact, Zhou Qiao also had this careful thought, and the reason why he donated to the UCSF Medical Center instead of the UCLA Medical Center was for this consideration. Sure enough, the UCSF Medical Center is still very good.

Murphy was the second place, and the prize was slightly weaker, in addition to the grand trophy engraved with his name, there was also a cash prize of 800,000 US dollars, but the surgical robot was gone.

The three third-place finishers were even worse, with only a trophy with their names engraved and a prize of $500,000.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth place fifteen players will receive $300,000, $200,000 and $100,000 in cash prizes, in addition to the trophy with their names engraved on them.

Still, it's pretty good. If you want to be dazzling, you have to belong to the top three, especially the champion and runner-up.

In the following academic exchange forum, in addition to the debates and speeches of young doctors, there are also academic reports of several academicians.

Among them, there is a lecture by Academician Dominory Cobb, who is said to want to take them as an apprentice, Zhou Qiao, Murphy and Stephanie all went to listen, I have to say, this big guy has a very high level, every word, many views, are at the forefront of the world, refreshing.

It is worth mentioning that this big man is also one of the eighteen members of the academician jury, but Zhou Qiao had no impression before.

Mainly because this big guy is very low-key, basically sitting in the corner the whole time, and doesn't ask many questions.

But the "status of the rivers and lakes" of this big man is beyond doubt.

Academician Dominory Cobb was born in New York in 1957, an American medical scientist and professor of medicine at Harvard University, dedicated to studying the role of p53 and other tumor suppressor genes in cancer development.

In particular, the research results of tumor suppressor protein-related new anti-tumor therapeutics have laid the foundation for the development of VEGF inhibitors for the treatment of kidney cancer. At present, there are a number of VEGF inhibitors for the treatment of kidney cancer.

On October 7, 2019, Academician Domitri Cobb was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery that led to the understanding of the basic principles of oxygen perception in cells at the molecular level, along with two other scientists (Johns Hopkins University in the United States and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom).

Prior to this, the academician had already won various awards.

This big man is kind and kind-eyed, gentle and elegant, speaks slowly, his eyes are full of endless wisdom, and he has good eyesight, he actually doesn't wear glasses, so many listeners, Academician Domitry actually noticed Zhou Qiao, Murphy and Stephanie in the crowd at a glance.

Of course, it is also possible that these three people are too dazzling.

Young, handsome men, beautiful women, especially Murphy and Stephanie always surround Zhou Qiao on left and right, and they can't attract people's attention.

Academician Domitri noticed them, and during the lecture, he specially named the three of them to answer some questions, which made everyone envious.

Fortunately, Zhou Qiao, Murphy, and Stephanie are all knowledgeable, and the answers they give are all remarkable, which makes Academician Dominory nod.

If you want to say bad, it may be worse than Murphy.

The main reason is that her personality is still a little cold, she still likes to keep a straight face in public, and in terms of expression, she is not as generous as Zhou Qiao and Stephanie who are smiling and smiling.

But Murphy was only 19 years old, the youngest of the more than 1,000 people present, and Academician Domitry seemed to have investigated Murphy's information, and although Murphy was acting a little "strange", Academician Domitri still smiled and liked her very much.

After the lecture ended, someone came to inform Zhou Qiao and the others, saying that Academician Domitri wanted to invite them to lunch.

Zhou Qiao and the three of them glanced at each other, and naturally went happily.

It was a very ordinary restaurant, ordinary steak, but the taste was very tasty.

Academician Domitri was very humorous and approachable, making the lunch atmosphere quite congenial.

"I don't know if the three of you are willing to be my apprentices, if you want, you can come to my own institute as a scientist." After chatting about it, Academician Domitri took the initiative to say.

Stephanie and Murphy looked at Zhou Qiao, and the two daughters naturally looked at him and waited for him to make a statement. If Zhou Qiao was unwilling, then they would not agree.

Of course, Zhou Qiao would not refuse, and immediately said with a smile: "It is our honor to be able to worship you as a teacher." ”

Then he stood up and bowed slightly.

Murphy and Stephanie hurriedly followed each other, a bit of a husband and wife.

"Sit, sit, don't be too polite." Academician Domitri pressed his hand and motioned for them to be casual.

After the three of them sat down, Zhou Qiao thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Teacher, you also know that I have a clinic in San Francisco, and my business is usually quite busy. ”

Academician Dominory laughed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What does it matter, I don't need you to be in the institute all the time."

I can point out some of your research ideas and research methods from afar. If you have any new ideas or research directions, you can also put them forward at any time, and we will discuss them together.

In addition, I will have a scientific expedition project in a while, and if you want to, you can also participate. ”

"That's great, we'll definitely be active."

Academician Domitri thought for a while and said, "When this academic forum is over, you go to my institute, I have a few review requests for journals, and I will tell you about them, and you can go back and consult the literature and try to write it." ”
