Great Power

Valentin Levin knew that MD was a doctor of medicine and PhD was a doctor of scientific research, but it was the first time that he heard of a joint training program at this time, only when suspicious eyes fell on Zheng Jianguo’s indifferent face At that time, these moments in his mind were distorted by the meaning of the words: "All-round support from funding to academics? Zheng, do you want to invest in Cell Magazine?"

As the question came out, Valentin Levin suddenly realized that it seemed that he hadn't heard the news of how much money Zheng Jianguo had made for a long time, and immediately continued asking without waiting for the other person to speak: "You did not lose money on silver. Right?"

"No, I closed the position before it fell—"

Hearing that the other party's understanding of himself is still in the silver period of investment, Zheng Jianguo also knows that this half of the researcher is well-informed. At this time, most of the experimenters in the laboratory are afraid that they never care about research. For other things, he nodded and smiled: "There will be no financial problems. I invested in Cell only because I thought that the future publication of papers would always go through journals, and given that the direction I gave myself was It belongs to the field of life sciences, which fits well with your "Cell" magazine.

Of course, after I invested, only the ownership of the magazine changed. As for the management personnel and finance, you are still in charge of Mr. Levin. You will not interfere in the paper review. Of course, I want to see every submission out of personal interest. 'S paper—"

"Every copy?"

With the favorable conditions, especially when your "Cell" magazine appeared, Valentine Levin's eyes lighted up and his complexion changed slightly. The person in charge who had been working for so long, for "Cell" The future of the magazine has been thought about countless times and planned countless times. After all, this is his entire career. It is only because of his personal ability that no one is optimistic about his ideals. This is how he found a relationship with MIT Press. in.

So until now, when Zheng Jianguo heard that he could still have the management and personnel rights and review rights of the magazine, Valentin Levin was immediately moved, but when he heard the final request, his mind also came to mind. I came up with an unbelievable thought: "Is this to plagiarize or simply curiosity?"

"Mr. Levin, you should have heard of the dispute between me and Nong Shaoshan. He is still clamoring for the media to go to the court to sue me, but I haven't received a subpoena from the court so far, so please trust me about academic ethics. I will not risk a lifetime reputation for temporary honor."

Just looking at the unabashed hesitation flashing on Valentin Levin’s white face, Zheng Jianguo understood what he was worrying about. He became a reviewer for The Lancet since the beginning of last year, and even later in the United States. Since the reviewer of the Journal of the Medical Association, he has personal knowledge and experience of the level of researchers at this time. It is important to know that the majority of those who can contribute to these two journals are well-known or even famous. A highly respected icon.

Putting it in the process or research, even if you don’t talk about the quality of the article, the methods and ideas tested in each paper are the best improvement for him, let alone the reason why he proposed it. This request is also to use these methods and ideas to awaken certain silent words in memory, because if even the director of the emergency department of the smallest hospital in his life can hear it, it does not represent a huge discovery or an astronomical number. Like money--

Of course, as a reviewer for two years, Zheng Jianguo's identity as a reviewer at this time, especially as a reviewer of a world-class authoritative journal, is like possessing the mentality of a nuclear country facing a non-nuclear country. In this field, I said you can’t do it, you can’t do it, and then you still don’t know who killed you.

With so many benefits, Zheng Jianguo will naturally not give up halfway: "Not to mention my current status, it is true that if there are some scandals in my student or research room in the future, I will not ask the "Cell" magazine to help me. What, Mr. Valentin Levin, I can guarantee you absolute rights in the magazine—"

"Zheng, I have thought a lot about this. Naturally, your current status will not do that kind of thing—"

Valentin Levin certainly knew about the dispute between Zheng Jianguo and the paper counterfeiter Nong Shaoshan, which made headlines on major TV stations and the media at the time. It is said that the latter's university also fired him.

However, when the many thoughts in these minds flashed, Valentin Levin also remembered the identity of the man in front of him. Will the discoverers of Helicobacter and the atomic graphite layer copy the results of other researchers?

A guy leaves the two fields he has developed and does not research, and instead steals other people's research?

The answer is of course no!

A judgment was made in an instant, and Valentin Levin did not continue to hide it. He glanced at the office door and said: "Zheng, I can't reply to your proposal now. I need to think about it for a few days—"

"This is of course. I will go to a meeting in another place tomorrow. I will come back at the beginning of the next month. If you agree, you can leave me a message. You can wait until I come back."

Knowing that his invitation was a bit abrupt, Zheng Jianguo didn't think about getting people to agree to it immediately, but the conditions he can offer now are all opened, if people really refuse him, there is no way.

"okay!"

With brows raised slightly, Valentin Levin nodded but couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart: "Meeting?"

"The March meeting of the American Physical Society."

Zheng Jianguo didn't hide it. He smiled and said that Valentine Levin nodded suddenly, then looked at him with curiosity and said, "It's just Zheng, you have graduated from medical school, and you have to accept PhD union. For the training of the project, did you give up on your atomic graphite layer?"

With a look on Zheng Jianguo’s mind, Thomas’s smiling face appeared in Zheng Jianguo’s mind. The reason why he came to MIT was not simply to look for Valentine Levine to talk about reviews and investment magazines. The most important thing was Thomas, who hadn't seen him for a long time, asked him to come over on the phone.

At that time, Zheng Jianguo was still thinking about what it would be like to find him. He did not expect Valentin Levine to tell him a possibility. He graduated from medical school and participated in the joint residency training program, so the graphene was put down. ?

With this indifferent thought, Zheng Jianguo, who sat for the meeting again, was sent to the entrance of the corridor by Valentine Levin and editor-in-chief Eagle Angels, and he arrived at MIT without much effort. In the Physics Department building, Yuna was shocked by the oncoming Yuna just before entering the building. He looked at the thick police uniform on the other party and said, "Yona, something happened here?"

"Well, a professor received a package and called the police when he suspected that it was a bomb—"

Yuna, who was equally surprised, wore neat police uniforms, but the original big wavy hair had now become a simple ponytail. When she arrived in front of Zheng Jianguo, her eyes fell on his face, her azure blue eyes sparkling. God: "Why did you come here?"

"Well, Professor Thomas has something to do with me—"

His gaze swept over the not-so-long ponytail. Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but flicker a few times when he was talking. The last time he went to study, he seemed to have commented on her long wavy hair. I said it some days when I was holding Fiona’s long blond hair. Of course, these thoughts were quickly dispelled by the police who appeared in the corridor. To be precise, it was the carton package in the policeman’s hands: "I remember being bombed last time. That professor seems to be from the university's science and engineering?"

"I don't know, let's let--"

Yuna shook her head and pulled Zheng Jianguo to the side. The latter watched him go out with the gaze of the policeman with the carton package. She knew the pressure brought by the famous bomber, but vaguely remembered in her mind that this person should be no. The gregarious schoolmaster, after graduation, was unable to integrate into the normal society and embarked on a path of extreme revenge.

Thanks to the well-developed information network a few decades later, Zheng Jianguo had some impressions of the bomber who turned on the explosive mode, but only some impressions. For example, this is a random selection of mailing targets. Targeting a certain group of people, but sending a bomb targeting the coming technological society.

Of course, with Zheng Jianguo’s few memories, the police know more about criminals than the police at this time. At least the sentence he asked is that some memories are at work. Fortunately, Yuna’s attention is on In his body, he didn't think much about this sentence: "If this was really sent by that person, it would be the fourth bomb—"

The Bomberman’s first masterpiece took place at Northwestern University in Chicago, when Zheng Jianguo was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in 1978, but the second one still appeared at Northwestern University in Chicago, but it was in mid-1979. Unfortunately, he was at that time. I was busy doing adaptive learning and STEP1 exams, and the third one was changed to an airline plane. It is said that if it is not technically inadequate, it will have a crash and death.

And this fourth happened at MIT!

"It's a package, not a bomb, a false alarm—"

The EOD policeman staring at the outside with blinking eyes stood up and shrugged. Zheng Jianguo listened to Yuna who was next to him and seemed to heaved a sigh of relief: "It's all right, it's great, Zheng, you have to review before the interview next month Next, how about I come to you then?"

Yuna’s face is a melon-seeded face. At this moment, I don’t know if it’s cold or scared, it’s getting whiter. Boston is just like the cold spring in previous years. It’s just a few days late but didn’t leave. Zheng Jianguo in woolen coat felt a little cold. : "Okay, call me before you come, walk slowly on the road."

Watching Yuna leave, Zheng Jianguo's gaze was retracted on her brilliant smiling face. He didn't expect that Thomas was walking towards him not far behind, so he smiled and said, "Professor Thomas——"

"Zheng, you are welcome."

Just like the hair-trimmed suit that I saw last year, Thomas was dressed up with a bright forehead, Thomas smiled to the front and reached out and shook his hand. His light blue eyes scanned the entrance behind him and smiled: "Congratulations on your graduation——"

"The graduation ceremony hasn't started yet, how can it be said that it is a graduation, but it is a STEP2 exam."

Zheng Jianguo and the old man's hands were loose when they looked at the sweater in his suit and said, "You wear too little. This hand is colder than mine."

"You are a young man, energetic and energetic, no problem if you don't wear it, let's go, let's go in, you also said that I wear less—"

Thomas smiled and said a few words back. He turned his head and patted his arm and walked side by side in the corridor. His voice was still low: "I didn't expect that you really passed STEP2. I also specifically inquired about it. Without the credit limit, it is really difficult to pass the STEP2 exam in one and a half years. The doctor said that it is equivalent to the resident doctor who won the Lasker Award—"

The full name of the Lasker Prize is the Albert Lasker Prize. It is another top award in the field of physiology and medicine in addition to the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. It is awarded by a famous American advertising manager, known as the "Father of Modern Advertising", Founded by the philanthropist Albert Lask and his wife Mary Ward Lask.

After the death of Lasker in 1952, Mary Lasker, known as the "first lady of medical research", continued to promote the Lasker Prize and became a frequent visitor to Capitol Hill with her outstanding social skills.

An outstanding person who actively seeks public support to ensure the investment in American medical research funds. It is also under her promotion that the United States sounded the clarion call to declare war on cancer. Its extraordinary achievements have had a profound impact on the health sciences of the United States. influences.

Since the Lasker Prize selection results are usually announced in September, and the Nobel Prize selection results are announced in October, and after the Lasker Prize for Basic Medical Research, the proportion of Nobel Prizes is higher, so Lasker The award is also known as the "Nobel Prize Weathervane" in the medical world.

Zheng Jianguo didn't know which doctor Thomas asked. In fact, if he was the client, the difficulty of passing the STEP2 exam without credit limit is no less than that of ordinary researchers who get the Nobel Prize.

It took him a year and a half to successfully pass the exam. In fact, the reason for his success is that he had been a doctor for decades in his previous life, and this year and a half was purely continued when he first arrived. Adaptive learning.

Of course, these don’t need to be told to Thomas. Zheng Jianguo smiled and followed him into the office and sat down. He took the coffee pot and poured a cup of coffee by himself: “Maybe it’s the experience I have accumulated when I was a child when I was practicing medicine with my father. Knowing this part of my learning experience, then it will not be surprising that I can now pass the STEP2 exam."

"Yes, you have been practicing medicine with your father since you were a child—"

Some whitish cheeks flashed across, Thomas directly sat next to Zheng Jianguo and said, "It doesn’t matter that you accepted the invitation of Massachusetts General Hospital. I believe Harvard University will not let you go to another hospital. .

Then I want to know your research ideas on the atomic graphite layer. As far as I know, the residents have almost no time on their own, and I heard that the shortest residents have to receive two years of training. During this time, you Is it to abandon the research on the atomic graphite layer?"
