Chapter 421: High Specifications
"Let's go in too. Richard couldn't stand still, and took advantage of the crowd to drag the student Connors into the small hall.
The report that can attract hundreds of people to listen to it on the spot, there will not be a few meetings in one meeting. Many of the well-known students who have been allocated a large conference hall may not necessarily attract hundreds of people when it comes time to give speeches.
Hundreds of people, on such an occasion, is not a small number.
Regardless of the fact that it is an international conference of several hundred people, its coverage is more than 100 times greater than the literal number of people, and the most eye-catching reports often cause unexpected sensations.
As far as the field of biology is concerned, there are more than one million researchers in the world who focus on it, and only major pharmaceutical companies, universities at all levels and non-profit intergovernmental research institutions can fill in this number, and if you count doctoral students in biology, this number can be doubled.
However, there are not many professionals who can really be called scientific research experts and do scientific research on the front line.
And these people are the group of people who determine the direction of the scientific research community.
For example, pharmaceutical companies, the world's top dozens of pharmaceutical companies have more than 1,000 full-time researchers, but if you look into it carefully, are the full-time researchers in charge of technical quality in factories doing scientific research? In a narrow sense, there are not. Are the Ph.D. students in charge of scientific and technological information in the office considered scientific researchers? In fact, they have been detached from the front line and no longer produce output.
Even in the real room, researchers and researchers are different, some researchers work to study other companies' drugs, some researchers work to compare their own drugs, and some researchers work to follow the orders of some researchers...... In the end, a researcher who is really doing research may have a few teams and a scale of about 100 people, and then remove the real yàn dog that is not a head, that is, thirty or fifty people.
Among these thirty or fifty people, there are usually a few people who make decisions, and these people are often the people who ultimately decide the R&D direction of a 10-billion-level pharmaceutical company.
Similarly, in a biological research institute with several hundred people, there are about 100 people who can be called professionals, such as those who manage archives, those who are in charge of logistics, those who sit in the office, those who work part-time for management, and those who are engaged in relationships. And among these people, if you remove those who are not energetic and inexperienced, it is good to be able to leave thirty or fifty people. Let's break it down again, remove those who are not able to apply for funding, those who have the ability to apply for funds but cannot apply for funds for various reasons, a scientific research institute with hundreds of people, and those who did serious research back then, that is, twenty or thirty people.
If you want to research something in the biological research institute, whether you want to or not, you have to rely on these twenty or thirty people.
Of course, if they don't want to study things, but just stumble, they don't need the remaining hundreds of people to go out together, and it is enough to send a few people.
China's scientific research institutions are bloated, and the European and American scientific research institutions will not be so streamlined.
It's really because the elimination rate of scientific research is too high.
It's not that most people don't want to do it, it's that they can't do it anymore.
The strict requirements of reality make people who are truly able to engage in scientific research must meet the right time, place and people. First of all, you have to be willing to do scientific research, secondly, you have the intellectual level to do scientific research, and thirdly, you have to have the knowledge to do scientific research.
Of course, most professions are similar, but scientific research is more demanding and more difficult to achieve.
There are many children who are willing to be scientists when they are young, and it turns out that if these children have the corresponding level of intelligence, the chances of continuing to dream are actually very high. The so-called scientists, who are rich and respected, work freely, and have a great sense of achievement...... But it's a pity that only children who have proven themselves to be IQ winners at every stage can continue this path.
Most children can't score 90 in math in elementary school, 90 in physics in middle school, and can't do anything in college, which has nothing to do with scientific research.
In fact, undergraduates who can be admitted to prestigious universities and want to do scientific research will not be able to do their wish.
Because behind the famous universities, there are also famous masters, famous doctors, and famous scientific research dogs to go.
It would be good for researchers who only stick to a prestigious undergraduate degree to enter a large company in a related field and do some application work, and a researcher who insists on a famous doctoral degree will probably be able to enter a research institute in a related field and do some application work. But in the end, only those real dogs who have been cultivated by the famous brand real yàn room, after transforming into people, have the foundation to innovate at the forefront of science and technology.
This process sounds long, and for ordinary people, it may be true, but in fact, the life path of most scientific research elites is actually very smooth. For example, Watson, a god-level biologist in the 80s, graduated from the University of Chicago in 1947 at the age of 19, and got his doctorate three years later, more than twice as fast as a normal person, and he completed the theory of DNA double helix structure with Crick in 1953 and published it in Nature.
In other words, Watson had already graduated from college at the age of 19, and at the age when other students graduated from college, Watson had already graduated with a doctorate and was going to be a real dog. At the age of 25, that is, the age when the average person graduates with a master's degree, Watson has already published his paper in the journal Nature, just waiting for the Nobel Prize.
It is conceivable that when his peers are ******** for the college entrance examination SAT, Watson must not be in a hurry, and when college students are hesitant to study for graduate school or work, Watson does not have to think about this kind of thing, and when his colleagues are working hard in the real room, Watson actually defeated Wilkins and Franklin in King's College London, and Pauling in California Institute of Technology to finally win the Nobel Prize. To be more precise, Watson didn't really become a god, because he didn't completely defeat Wilkins, but shared the Nobel Prize with Wilkins and his partner Crick.
In the world of ordinary scientific research below the Nobel Prize, Richard's scientific research path is also quite smooth. Needless to say, he didn't even meet a competitor before college, and after entering college, Richard was still at the top of the campus, and eventually entered the top 10 universities in the world to teach, proving that Richard is one of the top people in the biological sciences.
However, in the position of professor, Richard faced a strong challenge.
As the person in charge of the real room, Richard's opponent is no longer his peers, nor is he a classmate or colleague, nor is he just a few real dogs in the room. Richard's opponents are the real rooms of major universities, major companies, and various research institutions around the world.
And these real rooms will not be satisfied with a small paper, a little innovation, a little cleverness.
It's like the Cavendish yàn chamber, Wilkins yàn chamber, Franklin their and Pauling chamber in the 50's all aimed at DNA structures at the same time. The first-class real rooms of each era, and even the top real rooms, are staring at those heavyweight hot spots at the forefront of science and technology.
However, there will always be only so many heavyweight hot spots that are deep, valuable, and influential, and they are just like that on the table, waiting for researchers to decipher.
The result of sitting in the world's first-class real room is eternal competition, competition and competition.
Richard didn't dare to compete with the top real room, but even so, Richard often faced defeat.
In some competitions, Richard is the winner, but in others, Richard is the loser.
It's not that Richard can't bear to fail, it's just that he lost to Yang Rui, a first-year student at a third-world university, and Richard really couldn't bear it.
Not only can he afford it, but neither can the University of California and investors.
"Let's stand a little behind. Richard hid in the shadows, his brain was spinning rapidly, and the pencil in his hand seemed to be ready to record the mistakes in Yang Rui's speech at any time.
Yang Rui's paper may be rigorous and self-consistent, but in the following Q&A session, Richard did not believe that Yang Rui could still be so rigorous and self-consistent.
The paper can be written and revised, and the answers in the Q&A stage will depend entirely on personal accumulation.
Not to mention anything else, Yang Rui's age alone is enough for Richard to despise him.
Yang Rui on the stage was indeed a little nervous.
Presentations are always about risks and opportunities.
The so-called opportunity is an opportunity to become famous, especially this kind of seminar attended by hundreds of people, it is easy to make a regional expert become a world expert, and in the industry, this means an invitation from a prestigious university such as Harvard and Cambridge, or a position in various international organizations, if the profession is related, some temporary employment from the United Nations or even continental organizations, and a researcher can obtain rich and extensive research funds.
However, behind the praise, there may also be criticism and indifference.
Not every report will have a good outcome, and if you can't answer the questions of your peers, a professional researcher may become a joke, and it is very likely that you will lose the source of research funding, or even lose the position you have already obtained.
Sometimes, correct but too advanced remarks will still be mercilessly ridiculed, and these are what Yang Rui is most worried about.
Of course, the most common result is apathy. The world is progressing every day, but the science and technology that can influence the world are not something you want to have, and sometimes they appear, but they are not necessarily discovered.
There are various international conferences held around the world every day, and there are only a few that can eventually cause a topic and sensation.
For example, today's "International Congress of Medicine and Biology" has four or five presentations held at the same time, with an average of two hours and more than 20 lectures a day, and very few can be remembered.
Most of them sit in the report meeting of dissatisfied people, that is, they just brush their faces, and they can't talk about praise or criticism at all.
Yang Rui's start was good, but looking at the crowds below, Yang Rui still couldn't help but get nervous.
These are all real insiders, not to mention the level of Professor Tang Zhong, Huang Mao, a future bull, before the horns grow, have to enter the door in the name of "visiting", Yang Rui's previous foundation was not very good, and now his head seems to be a little better, he has the advantage of foresight, it is said that he is not inferior to his peers, but he does not dare to despise the world.
In the eyes of the audience, Yang Rui's expression couldn't be more normal.
Chagav, who helped just now, said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't think it's a report meeting, it's like a friend chatting." Besides, the time hasn't come yet, and maybe there are scholars who are interested in your research, so let's wait a minute. ”
Yang Rui nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry to let everyone wait in such a crowded environment......"
"It's not your fault, it's the organizing committee, your papers have been handed in, but so many people are interested, but the organizing committee only arranged a small hall for 50 people, which is because their judgment is too poor and the level is not enough. Chagav commented viciously.
It was also because of Chagav that many members of the organizing committee came here, and listening to Chagav's comments in person, their expressions were not good-looking.
The other researchers were upset and scolded the organizing committee one after another.
The members of the organizing committee were blue and white, but they didn't dare to say a word. They are only members of the Standing Committee elected by the "International Congress of Medicine and Biology", and all registered members are determined by the votes they go to stay, and no member dares to offend the members.
After all, scholars can participate in the International Congress of Medicine and Biology, as well as the Congress of Chemistry and Biology, but the position of member of the organizing committee is not so easy to get.
The American who was the fuse was unlucky, and seeing that the one-sided comments were getting worse and worse, the chairman of the organizing committee hurried over, and the first thing he did was to get rid of it, but he didn't even say anything about the previous wait.
Immediately afterwards, the chairman announced: "We have vacated the main venue, please move to the main venue to listen to the presentation, there are more than 200 places there, enough to use." ”
At this moment, the chairman finally got applause.
After thanking him, Yang Rui followed out of the small conference hall and went to the main venue.
This is a staircase-like conference hall, and originally only arranged keynote speeches and important reports from a few well-known professors, which were distributed to Yang Rui, which was completely unexpected.
Huang Mao immediately ran to borrow a camera and took many photos of Yang Rui before and after.
Giving a speech in the main conference hall is the most high-end face-brushing solution in international conferences.
In China, where information is single, this is equivalent to a singer singing in the Vienna Musikverein and a star walking the red carpet in Cannes.
As long as others don't know that you're rubbing, the style will go up.
