Chapter 603: Trade-offs

In the afternoon, Yang Rui found an office-like room to draft a draft, and Xiao Baiya was pouring tea and water with the front end, watching others make reports, watching Yang Rui write reports, and he was very busy.

Tsinghua University's homework is much more intense than that of Peking University, with more work and rest time and discipline norms, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to be alone, and there is no pressure of schoolwork, Xiao Baiya is quite satisfied.

Yang Rui is also helpless, tomorrow is the last day of the conference, he must write a speech today, although when he was in China, he has drafted countless drafts, but only by understanding the research and mentality of international peers, and determining the specific speech and time, he can finally decide to make a trade-off, and complete the rhetoric.

His purpose was clear, to prove the ownership of the PCR.

This is not an easy task, because about the same time, the West company also has the prototype of PCR, Yang Rui does not want to have a better PCR technology, he wants to have PCR technology.

In order to achieve this goal, Yang Rui was required to introduce a lot of evidence, including experimental data, as well as some golden ideas such as "specificity required for primer amplification".

Finally, it is necessary to write about the progress and future of this research. This is the most important and least important part. For most studies, it's almost finished, and if it doesn't, the end is of little significance.

However, for a technology like PCR, its research progress is very important, however, how to present it is a problem.

In Yang Rui's view, the practice of participating in different levels of report meetings should be different.

Just like different journals have different emphasis, different reports will have different emphasis, some like experimental data, some like new ideas, and some value research progress.

Speeches at advanced points should focus on research progress, investor meetings should also talk more about research progress, and basic research with great potential should also focus on research progress. Because the present is here, and if you want to arouse the interest of the masters, you have to sell the future.

For example, lasers, such as holography, such as cancer targets, these things need to be developed in ten years, and if you don't talk about the future and reality, you are forcing yourself to think of yourself.

In terms of pure theoretical research, and the corresponding final application, the empirical data is the most important part, and it is almost the only proof.

New ideas are usually applied presentations, where people just want to know how to use it, and they don't care about what future research will look like, or what previous experiments will look like.

The International Congress of Genetics is an international conference that is very suitable for Yang Rui, and the speech rather than the report also determines that Yang Rui has a long time to explain his theories and achievements, and the audience's attention will be relatively focused.

However, it is necessary to think carefully about how much experimental data to come up with, how many golden ideas to say, and how much research progress to expound.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Rui put down the pen and first wrote down three directions on the paper:

First. Consideration of priority (to establish the inventor or discoverer, experimental data is required. )。

Second. Protection of patent rights (reducing the number of new ideas).

Third. Disclosure of partially proven extension projects (e.g., thermostable polymerases)

Fourth. Elaboration of unproven, unfinished, but promising research work.

After re-reading it twice, Yang Rui circled the first and fourth points, and then held the teacup and pondered while reading.

When the tea was finished, the little white teeth filled him upside down, and then asked, "What do you mean by ringing up?"

"I'm going to focus on those two. Yang Rui smiled slightly and said, "The purpose of the two points is the same, and it is also the most important goal this time." ”

The first point is to establish priority, and for Yang Rui, his elaboration of the unfinished research work is also to establish priority.

As for the fourth point, the elaboration of unfinished research, Yang Rui is preparing to write a prophecy.

In other words, it is called a scientific hypothesis.

Scientific predictions are speculative, and certain predictions become science in their own right after being proven in reality, such as Moore's Law.

Scientists who stand at the top of the research field are naturally relatively accurate in their predictions in the field, and the feedback can also push up the rank of scientists by accurately speculating in the field.

Many scientists do prophetic work, most notably theoretical physicists. Theoretical physicists live almost exclusively on prophecy, and the most senior of them should be Shi Hawking. If some of his theories can be confirmed, and he is still alive, he will undoubtedly win the Nobel Prize and achieve the title of Great Prophet of the Emperor.

Yang Rui is naturally ready to follow suit.

As his prophecy was confirmed, his rank would naturally rise, and scholars would naturally mention him again in connection with the lecture.

Scientific prophecy is not nonsense, on the contrary, the more prophetic the statement, the more arguments need to be provided.

Yang Rui plans to devote one-third of the space to writing about this.

Xiao Baiya listened to Yang Rui's explanation, but he didn't seem to understand, and asked, "All in English?"

Yang Rui hesitated and nodded, "There is no choice." ”

If he is a Nobel laureate, he naturally wants to speak Chinese and speak Chinese, and he wants to speak English and English, but unfortunately he is not. On people's territory, it is necessary to use Chinese - it is impossible to count on simultaneous interpretation.

The Chinese academic community attaches great importance to English, which is also transmitted from the outside in, but anyone who does academic work and does not know a foreign language cannot do high-end.

Higher education in China is academically oriented, which is why the gaokao and universities attach great importance to English.

When Yang Rui was tested, many people shouted, "If I read Chinese history, I still have to take the English test......

However, even if you are studying Chinese history, if your goal is academic, you can't avoid English. History students who enter the first year of graduate school have to read basic readings such as Cambridge Chinese History, and if they learn a little deeper, they can't continue to rely on Chinese translations to write papers, otherwise, when they see Chang Kaishen, they will think that they have discovered the virgin land of modern Chinese history.

In addition, if we read the documents of the Sino-Japanese War, we cannot ignore the Sino-Japanese War and write about the Korean War, we cannot ignore the books and documents of the ROK, the DPRK and the United States, those who do party history cannot read the documents of the former Soviet Union, and those who engage in contemporary history cannot read the papers of the Joint Committee for Contemporary China Studies in the United States......

Yang Rui is also very reluctant and difficult to write English speeches, his English proficiency is limited, not even as good as ordinary professional translators, but it is not possible to write in English. If future generations do not bend down to pay off this debt, they will not be able to go to the international table, and as far as the development of modern society is concerned, how can it grow up if you don't eat a hundred family meals.

Fortunately, he has prepared a lot of drafts in China, and now he has transcribed some of them, revised some of them, made a slight twist, and added two new ideas, so that they will not be completely redone.

In the evening, Yang Rui completed the main part, and when expanded, the first part accounted for 30%, the fourth part accounted for more than 40%, and the remaining second and third parts added up to less than 30%.

Xiao Baiya has listened to a lot of speeches, and even learned an elective course in speech in school - this is a characteristic of the 80s, she looked at Yang Rui's segmented classification, as well as the general title, and couldn't help but say: "In this way, will the content of your paper itself be too little?"

"If you want to read the paper, you should have read it. I don't think it's necessary to come up with too much experimental data. Yang Rui paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I actually took out a lot." ”

There should be experimental data, and there should be some key data - the more you want to prove yourself, the more you need to reveal more key data, and of course, you can't reveal all of them, otherwise you will lose a lot of evidence.

In addition, it is also important that Yang Rui should make way for the paper submitted to Nature, and he cannot use the key data published in Nature, otherwise, the chance of rejection in Nature will be infinite.

This naturally requires the project to have enough content, but fortunately, PCR is also a high-level achievement worth several years, maybe not as big as those huge projects, but it is still not small, Yang Rui still has content to write.

After reading the speech again, Yang Rui said: "Let's do it for the time being, I'll revise the rest of the content when I come back in the evening, let's go to dinner first." ”

"Can you eat?" Little White Fang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I thought I would eat a hamburger at night." ”

"Hamburgers are not delicious?" Yang Ruiqi said: People are not as squeamish as in later generations, and it is very rare to be able to eat a hamburger or Western food once.

Little White Fang has a flat mouth: "Their burgers are not easy to hold, and they will stain their clothes if they are not careful." ”

Yang Rui looked down at her white clothes, they were really neat.

……

Yang Rui was not the only one who was busy all afternoon.

The leader of the Chinese delegation and Ganika were very busy. Their difficult negotiations did not come to a final conclusion, but both sides agreed that tomorrow's closing day speech would be an excellent opportunity for publicity.

As a result, both sides have spared no effort to mobilize the media relations around them.

The Chinese delegation's phone calls went all the way back to China and from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United States. Garnika moved a little lesser, but also contacted a PR agency.

A group of New York media people who had no news, for various reasons, slowly flowed to the venue.
