I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Dr. Matt Harris, editor-in-chief of the life science group of the editorial department of "Nature", was a scholar who focused on genetic engineering before he became the editor-in-chief. Read all day long.

"Shen Qi's team's editing method is relatively novel, but is the observation period for rats too short?" Editor-in-chief Harris is also an expert. The cycle is in doubt.

To conduct gene editing on rats, researchers should observe the whole life cycle of rats, and even the offspring of rats.

Shen Qi's team wrote this paper after observing rats for several months, isn't it a bit sloppy?

Of course, Shen Qi's team also wrote at the end of the paper: "This experiment has achieved preliminary research results. In the next stage, we will continue to observe various indicators of the experimental rats, and conduct a more in-depth study of the operating principle of the SHANK3 gene."

Editor-in-Chief Harris was lost in thought: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't send this paper to experts for review. After all, from the perspective of genomics, we should at least observe the life of experimental mice before we can draw conclusions. But Shen Qi is a big shot. He is a three-time Nobel Prize winner and a Fields Medal winner. He is also a foreign academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences. I think the papers of such big shots should be treated specially. Otherwise, Shen Qi will be offended. In the future, it is possible to take care of "Science" and "Cell."

In the field of comprehensive science, the main competitor of "Nature" is "Science".

In the field of life sciences, the main competitors of "Nature" are also "Science" and "Cell".

These well-known journals attach great importance to the originality of papers.

"Nature" clearly stipulates in the submission instructions: "The important criteria for accepting papers in this journal are originality and independence, and the same paper cannot be submitted to other journals."

In other words, a paper does not allow one woman to marry more than one woman.

It is not allowed to vote for both "Nature" and "Science".

Once found, deal with it seriously.

Shen Qi's academic morality is well known all over the world. He is a noble person, a person who has escaped vulgar interests.

Everyone also knows that Shen Qi prefers "Nature".

This time, Shen Qi's team submitted a paper on life sciences to Nature.

Editor-in-Chief Harris’ opinion is to arrange authoritative experts in the industry to review the papers of Shen Qi’s team as soon as possible.

Editor-in-Chief Harris thinks so, and he does the same.

Soon, "Study of Multiple SHANK3 Gene Editing Methods in Rats" was handed over to internationally renowned geneticists for review.

Editor-in-chief Harris was busy until midnight before leaving get off work.

At this time, China ushered in the rising sun.

"Well... so comfortable." Ouye got up, and she stood in front of the window sill, embracing the sun and the air with open arms.

"strange……"

"Nofi..."

"Sister Cuiping..."

"They're all gone."

Ouye is the only person in the huge academician Shen's villa.

The people in this villa don't have the habit of sleeping late.

Ouye, who was 6 months pregnant, got up late. When she opened her eyes, her husband went to work, and Sister Cuiping sent Nuofi to school.

The breakfast was ready and placed on the dining table on the first floor, still warm.

"Baby, look, this family is full of busy people. Your father is very busy, your sister is also busy, and your mother is the one who has the most leisure." Ouye sat at the dining table, stroking his belly, and talking to himself.

In order to make himself look less leisurely, Ouye ate eggs while reading emails and messages on his phone.

"Xiao Ou, during your pregnancy and breastfeeding, the normal work of the Number Theory Department will continue. We are going to promote a researcher to be the deputy director of the Number Theory Department to assist you in managing the Number Theory Department. Candidates for veteran employees of the Number Theory Department There are two, Xia Pingchuan and Ma Qianjun. These two have worked in the Number Theory Teaching and Research Section for many years, and they have worked hard without credit. Their qualifications are enough, and they can be considered for promotion to the Number Theory Teaching and Research Section. This is Lao Lu's opinion."

"And my idea is that although there is hard work, there is no merit, and it is not enough to convince the public. If everyone relies on seniority to obtain promotion qualifications, how is this different from before the system reform? This is not good for outstanding young people. fair."

"My recommendation candidate is Zhang Li, the deputy director of the algebraic geometry teaching and research section. I don't need to repeat his excellence. Zhang Li has not only made achievements in the field of algebraic geometry, but also is very proficient in number theory. I think Zhang Li can be your Right-hand man."

"Of course, Xiao Ou, you are the director of the Number Theory Teaching and Research Section. Whoever you choose to be your deputy director, your opinion comes first. You have a veto and a decision. Hope to reply. I wish you good health. "

The above WeChat message is from the dean of YSU Mathematics Institute.

Anything involving personnel promotion and transfer is very sensitive.

Ouye was lost in thought, the dean sent me such a long message, what did he mean?

Regardless of whether it was before the reform of the university system or now, one thing has never changed: the head of a unit or a department has almost absolute power.

The promotion or reassignment of a deputy director of the teaching and research section, such a minor personnel change, can be done by the dean of the school himself, without reporting to the state or alarming the central government.

And the dean looks quite democratic.

The dean listed a bunch of arguments, and finally asked Ouye to do multiple-choice questions.

No matter how stupid Ouye is, she has worked in public institutions for so many years, and she has figured out some things with the passage of time.

Appointing and dismissing the deputy director of the teaching and research section of number theory is not simply a matter of meritorious deeds or ranking seniority.

Lao Lu is the vice president of the School of Mathematics, and he recommends Xia Pingchuan and Ma Qianjun to choose one.

What is the relationship between Xia Pingchuan, Ma Qianjun and Lao Lu?

Ouye knew in his heart that these two were Lao Lu's students.

The dean recommended Zhang Li, deputy director of the algebraic geometry teaching and research section, to be transferred to the number theory teaching and research section.

What is the relationship between Zhang Li and the dean?

Ouye also knew in his heart that Zhang Li had nothing to do with the dean.

Zhang Li studied at Fudan University for his undergraduate degree and his master's degree at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris. He was only 27 years old when he returned from France. Now at the age of 30, he is the deputy director of the algebraic geometry teaching and research section of the School of Mathematics.

Zhang Li is neither a student of the dean, nor did he have any contact with the dean before the age of 27.

From this point of view, the dean does not consider interpersonal relationships in the principle of personnel appointment and dismissal, but only focuses on academic standards.

Is that true?

"Hey, this is a political issue, I am a political idiot, I don't understand."

Ouye replied to the dean: "Dean, please don't ask me to do multiple-choice questions. I am a pregnant woman, my mind is not clear, and I don't know how to choose. The candidate for the deputy director of our teaching and research section, whoever you arrange. I have no objection to any one of the three candidates."
