Chapter 556: Gene Sequencing (Part 2)
Yang Rui looked at the experiment report on the chair in front of the experimental table, and asked without raising his head: "How can you get the money?"
"You're quite calm......" Xu Zhengping was speechless.
"Didn't the foreign trade of the Chinese medicine be sent once? 200,000 yuan has been spent, anyway, I want to sign it for them?"
"It's not, a special application letter from the Ministry of Health means that they invite you, but you have to go for an interview, and you have to do the project according to their conditions, that is, there are project requirements, generally in terms of time and results, and there are also requirements for personnel and project scope. ”
"So troublesome?"
"The quality of the interview determines the amount, from tens of thousands to millions. Xu Zhengping paused and said, "Of course, you don't have to think about millions." ”
"With so much money, shouldn't you prepare in advance and then go through the interview formalities?"
"The approximate amount naturally has a range, but if you do well in the interview, it is possible to get tens of thousands of yuan more, and the conditions are a little more relaxed, so you should prepare well, and besides, it doesn't hurt to leave a good impression on the leaders of the Ministry of Health, right?" Xu Zhengping was very concerned about this.
On the one hand, the more funds the laboratory has, the better, and if there is new funding, the new ion channel laboratory will not need to exchange instruments with other laboratories, saving him time.
On the other hand, such a special application letter is not easy to obtain, and the ministry that gives funding will often invest money in the same project for several years in a row for various reasons - of course, whether it is true or false, only those who make the results will be paid - for a laboratory, there is a stable source of income, it can be regarded as a start.
Xu Zhengping couldn't wait to go out by himself, but unfortunately he was not the person in charge of the laboratory, so he could only look at Yang Rui and persuade: "No matter how much or how little this money is, this is the first time that our laboratory has received provincial and ministerial funds.
"It's the same as asking for a salary for job hopping, how much did I use to have?"
"Hey, I don't know what you're talking about, almost. ”
After saying that, both of them burst out laughing.
Yang Rui got up and thought about it, and said, "Then be formal, start with clothes, what do you wear? What ......did I wear before?"
"The clothes you were wearing before won't work. Xu Zhengping immediately interrupted him and said, "We are asking for money, you have to dress modestly, but formally." ”
Yang Rui nodded slightly, and said understandingly: "Pretend that you don't know how to spend money, but you have to dress to respect the other party." ”
Xu Zhengping thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Why do good words change when they pass from you." ”
"Young people, strong digestion ......"
"Yes, let's talk about it later, the smell is too big, I'll take it slowly. Xu Zhengping stopped talking to him.
"He......"
Su Xiankai suddenly laughed, and then hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to hear it, or I didn't hold back, what you said...... It's kind of funny. ”
Yang Rui's face darkened, when he was in the Huarui laboratory before, it was Wei Zhenxue who was teased, but now in the ion channel laboratory, there is no Comrade Wei Zhenxue, is it ......
Yang Rui immediately stopped this terrible idea, coughed vigorously, and said solemnly: "Comrade Su Xiankai, do you know a little about this application letter and interview?"
"I don't understand. Su Xiankai shook his head again and again: "How could I have the opportunity to apply for these project funds before, and the school can't apply for funds." ”
"It just so happens that you and I went to the interview. Yang Rui clapped his hands and said, "Professor Xu is also going, can you go to the three of you?"
Xu Zhengping hesitated: "It's not impossible, there are no rules, but it's not necessary, it's just a formality." ”
Yang Rui's face turned black, and he complained: "Didn't you say it, the interview is very important?"
"The important thing is the fluctuation of tens of thousands of dollars, this is not something that can be solved by a lot of people, if you want to float more, you have to perform very well, or have something new to do. Xu Zhengping's expression was "Although tens of thousands of yuan are important, they are not worth my ride".
Not to mention, the current ion channel laboratory is really supported by Xu Zhengping, and his frequent publication of papers on a cycle of about half a month may be one of the reasons for getting a special invitation letter.
Of course, the most important reason must be because the laboratory is Peking University.
In this regard, Yang Rui and Peking University should have the same thoughts, they are not like spending their own money on this brand-new laboratory.
Yang Rui doesn't want to spend money because his money is going to be used in the Sinovel laboratory, and if he wants to invest in the ion channel laboratory, he might as well invest in the Sinovel laboratory, maybe he can accumulate a few patents.
Peking University doesn't want to spend money because their money has to be used in key laboratories, whether it is a provincial key laboratory or a national key laboratory, these are extremely money-burning things, not to mention the current Peking University, even in another 30 years, there will be no enough money.
Therefore, Yang Rui and Peking University both hope to get money back from the country's basic investment projects.
After the reform of scientific research, the state's scientific research funding has also changed from unit funding to project funding, as well as special funding for different categories, and these funds have to be applied for by specific projects.
The laboratories that Peking University attaches the most importance to, although their strength is outstanding, but the total number of projects is always limited, and they can get the funds that Peking University itself is inclined to, while the laboratories that are tilted can only reach out to the state or ministries and commissions.
This special application letter from the Ministry of Health is not only because the ion channel laboratory has reached the basic conditions, but also because it is estimated that the shadow of Peking University is behind.
Anyway, the Ministry of Health's scientific research funds are given to everyone, but if it is given to the laboratory of Peking University, it means that Peking University has won more funds, and if it is given to the laboratory of Beijing Institute of Technology, it is equivalent to more funds won by Beijing Institute of Technology, and this money is really money falling from the sky.
A professor at Peking University set up an international-level laboratory, and tens of millions of yuan of funds flowed into local schools, some of which did not even have a national-level laboratory, which was equivalent to children playing with mud, and they didn't want money to play, just be happy, but don't expect mud houses to compare with real estate.
Yang Rui has something in his mind, and he can make more and more things now, but it is inevitable to spend money on experiments, and the more funds the better.
Therefore, listening to Xu Zhengping's words, Yang Rui grasped the main point and asked: "You said that the performance is excellent, or there are new things made, there are many floats, what is considered excellent performance, and what is considered a new thing?"
Xu Zhengping said "ah": "How much do you want to float?"
"If you can have tens of thousands, you can have tens of thousands. Yang Rui knew that when the ion channel laboratory was launched, the cost must be more and more, and at this time, if he could ask for a little more funds, the chance of paying for himself would be smaller.
If it is not necessary, Yang Rui does not want to use his own money to do basic scientific research, he only does this when his brain is burned out, and no matter how rich he is, he has to shout not to do it when he has the money to do the human gene map.
Xu Zhengping only thought that Yang Rui wanted to fight for funds, shook his head and said: "There is no need, you must at least make a JMC-level paper in order to be considered to perform very well, needless to say new things, this is difficult to judge." ”
"Just a JMC-level paper?" Yang Rui thought as he touched his chin.
Xu Zhengping was dizzy and said: "There are only a few days left in the interview, you are thinking about writing a paper, and if you write it, it is not enough time to mail it." ”
"Whoever said it was going to be published, you only said that the JMC level paper, after we wrote it, we showed it to the interviewer first, and when they were satisfied, we just went back and published it. Yang Rui said and asked, "Could it be a layman?"
"There are laymen, more peer review. Xu Zhengping looked at Yang Rui unexpectedly and reminded him: "The projects I have done recently are all the results of our laboratory, and if you show it off twice, it will become a joke." ”
"I know, without your conscientiousness, we don't even have the threshold for this Ministry of Health's application. "What Yang Rui said was quite casual.
Xu Zhengping's mood suddenly improved a lot. In fact, these days, the busiest person in the ion channel laboratory is him, Su Xiankai and others have just entered the laboratory, and they are still familiar with the environment, and there are some messy things to do from time to time, only Xu Zhengping has always maintained a strong work mood.
However, Xu Zhengping thought about it: Yang Rui sees my work in his eyes, what am I happy about, he should look at it in his eyes, the corresponding author is his, and the co-first author is not less than his......
Of course, Xu Zhengping's experiments were carried out with the help of Yang Rui, and Yang Rui's continuous provision of information, equipment, experimental plans and reagents, etc., improved Xu Zhengping's efficiency and proved his strength......
In the chaotic conjecture, Yang Rui spoke again: "I want to do a few gene sequencing." ”
"Su Xiankai, aren't they doing it?"
"They're repeating experiments, and I want to be serious. ”
Xu Zhengping collected his thoughts and said in surprise: "Show it to the experts of the Ministry of Health?"
"Yes. ”
"It's not been long, and I can't do any sequencing. ”
"I've thought about the method before, and I've done it myself, and I can do it if I can, and even if I can't do it. "As with most experiments, it is often the last experiment that may have taken only a few tens of minutes to decide a paper, but these dozens of minutes of experiments are often piled up with hundreds of hours of wrong experiments.
For Yang Rui, it is very easy to avoid the wrong experiment and hit the correct experiment.
In Xibao Middle School and the early Huarui Laboratory, Yang Rui did a lot of such things, but now he doesn't do it, just because he can't be busy, not because he has changed sex.
And when needed, Yang Rui can naturally continue to operate.
Compared with Yang Rui, who is full of confidence, Xu Zhengping has no confidence at all, and is not optimistic at all: "You can do it if you want to do it, of course it is good to be able to do it." ”
Naturally, in Xu Zhengping's mind, Yang Rui couldn't do it, so he knew the depths.
Gene sequencing, where is the experiment so easy to do.
