Chapter 145: Share the cake in advance
Taking a break from his busy schedule, Zhang Wei accepted exclusive interviews with several media. They are all gaming websites such as Sina Games, Sohu Games, and 17173.
One of the more popular ones is the interview with "Popular Software", which is a publication sponsored by the Chinese Science Association. It has been running for almost ten years and has a relatively broad reader base. It is one of those game websites Incomparable.
For this type of interview, the process is relatively standardized and the questions are similar. For example, the first question must be how it feels after winning the championship.
Before his rebirth, Zhang Wei was in the system after all. When facing this kind of interview, there is no need for reporters to take the initiative to ask questions. First, he would like to thank the organization for its support and the leadership's care. Even if the General Administration of Sports has done nothing, they should be praised first. By the way, e-sports is also linked to the development of national sports.
When it comes to sports, the scope of media coverage is not limited to the computer technology sector. The sports sections of many media also follow suit.
In the era of print media, the popularity of the sports sector can definitely be ranked among the top two. The popularity of entertainment stars is definitely not as popular as sports competitions.
Especially in 2004, not only Liu Xiang won the Olympic Games, but also Yao Ming became popular.
At this time, Yao Ming had already established a firm foothold in the NBA, and Tracy McGrady also came to the Rockets, which greatly increased the popularity of sports news.
The same is true for the Rockets. The Rockets in the NBA are so popular because of Yao Ming. The terrorists play the real Rockets all day long, but they are lonely and have little attention.
Zhang Wei's exclusive interview appeared in the sports section of the media, which actually increased his exposure a lot.
......
The news that Zhang Wei went to the Department of Biology quickly spread among several department heads.
The department heads who were competing for Zhang Wei last semester were dumbfounded when they heard the news.
The biology department and graphene are completely unrelated! Why did you go to the Department of Biology?
The Department of Electronic Engineering dismissed Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei was unwilling to go back, which is understandable. But what about the Department of Physics, Department of Materials, and Department of Chemical Engineering? These are all studying graphene, why doesn’t Zhang Wei go?
Does Zhang Wei not want to continue studying graphene?
But even so, there are better choices. The Department of Computer Science welcomes you!
Computer science was the most popular major at that time!
The Turing Award winners have endorsed you. If you develop in the computer field, you will have a bright future!
Why did you choose the biology department that is beyond your reach!
For a while, Zhang Wei’s cell phone was blasted again.
Shen Jiahai from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Wu Yuanchao from the Department of Materials, Fang Shaoyun from the Department of Physics, Liu Yuejin from the Department of Chemical Engineering, and Du Zhiqiang from the Department of Computer Science all came to Zhang Wei for explanations.
But Zhang Wei still had the same answer. No matter which department I chose, I would offend other people, so I just settled for a bowl of water and went to a biology department that had nothing to do with graphene.
I, Zhang Wei, want to be a new person!
...
In the Department of Biology, Meng Heming set aside a laboratory for Zhang Wei to use.
"Zhang Wei, the basic experimental equipment and equipment have been fully equipped for you. PCR instrument, electrophoresis instrument, UV photometer, thermostatic pot... Anyway, they are all over there. Here is the list. You Go back and check it out, no problem signing.
For the equipment that is not available here, you can use it directly in the big laboratory. Make a reservation in advance according to the regulations, and just go and use it in the big laboratory when it is your turn. There are graduate students on duty, you can just ask them to help."
"Thank you, Director Meng! When will the three graduate students for me arrive?" Zhang Wei then asked.
"I will help you with this matter." Meng Heming sighed helplessly, and then said: "You also know that graduate students also have to study and write papers. Every graduate student has a mentor, and many of them have mentors. You are working on a project with your tutor!
If you are halfway through the project and ask someone to help you with a new scientific research project, they will definitely be unwilling to do so, and their tutor will not be willing to let him go, after all, he has many people. Only one person can work! I'm helping you coordinate."
"Haha, Director Meng, you are really good at finding reasons to comfort me. I guess it's because I'm still a college student and a graduate student. They think there is no future in doing projects here, so they don’t want to come here,” Zhang Wei said with a smile.
“You kid, you are quite self-aware!” Meng Heming said.
Meng Heming is slightly older than Zhang Wei's parents, so it's okay to call Zhang Wei "child".
Zhang Weize went on to say: "When I wanted two people, you boasted about Haikou and said you would give me three. Now you are blind!"
"Don't worry, I promised to give you three people." , there are only three of them, no one will be missing. I, Meng Heming, always talk like a spit and a nail, and I will never break my promise! If no one is willing to come, I will give you three of my own graduate students!" He spoke.
How can a graduate student not be willing to do a project?
Many graduate students kneel down and lick their tutors every day just to let their tutors lead them to do projects. If the tutors are willing to divide the scientific research projects they are responsible for into several small projects for students to complete, it will basically be enough for this graduate student. It’s time to write a paper.
If you have a good relationship with your mentor, you can also receive part of the scientific research funds from your mentor to work on your own projects.
But the vast majority of graduate students started out as laborers in the laboratory. They spend every day in the laboratory, starting from the most basic dirty work such as preparing experimental equipment, preparing reagents, cleaning utensils, etc., and slowly they can Get started with some experiments. Even if you are doing hands-on experiments, you are still doing some repetitive work, and you are still far from completing your own scientific research project.
Graduate students who can operate experiments can be regarded as individuals in the laboratory and can enjoy the basic human rights stipulated in the Geneva Convention. Not like coolies, not even prisoners of war.
So autistic people can operate experiments in their freshman year, which is equivalent to directly skipping the coolie stage and being treated as a human being. This is an amazing thing!
It is said that there is a shortage of people for a new scientific research project, and those coolie-level graduate students will definitely flock to it. At least there will be an opportunity to start operating experiments and accumulate experimental experience. Experienced experimenters will no longer have to do hard work if they join other project teams in the future.
Those graduate students who already have operational abilities are very likely to become masters when they come to this new project team. If they produce results in the future, they will have the opportunity to have their signatures on the paper.
Now no one is willing to come. The only problem is Zhang Wei!
Zhang Wei is a college student, and he is still a freshman. No one can tolerate it if a graduate student is asked to help the freshmen.
Zhang Wei, an old inspector, naturally understands this truth. Having come from within the system, he can better understand the importance of qualifications.
It is normal for young leaders in the system not to be able to command older subordinates. Especially for those old people who no longer intend to make progress. People are willing to listen to you because they want to give you face. If people don't listen to you, there's nothing you can do about it.
The same is true for scientific research in universities. Graduate students have their own supervisors and have no interest in Zhang Wei. Why should they come to help you with your project?
And who can come to Tsinghua University to study as a graduate student, who is not the proud one? Who is not arrogant? Normally I just let my senior brothers and sisters wave around and drink. Why should I let you, a college student, command me to do things?
"People are unable to afford early benefits. It seems that they have to be driven by profits!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei said: "Director Meng, don't be embarrassed. I will propose a plan. All graduate students who are willing to come to my place can sign this paper in the future, and the one with the most outstanding performance will be given the title of third author!"
"Are you sure you want to do this? Meng Heming asked subconsciously.
"If you don't do this, no one will come!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Okay, since you are willing to sign your name, I think there will be a brave man who will be rewarded heavily!" Meng Heming nodded.
This research was not done by Zhang Wei himself, but was established with the support of Tsinghua University, and subsequent experiments were also completed at Tsinghua University. Therefore, in addition to the distribution of profits after the research results, Zhang Wei had already thought about it clearly.
Zhang Wei must be the first author and corresponding author in his own hands, but after all, Tsinghua University provides money and effort. If President Gu wants to be the corresponding author, there is no harm in letting him go.
The second author should be given to Meng Heming, the director of the Department of Biology. The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Meng Heming is the "current manager". All the problems Zhang Wei encountered when doing this project were ultimately attributed to Meng Heming. Let’s solve this problem.
In the future, if I ask an academic expert to review my paper, I guess Meng Heming's help will be indispensable. After all, he is the chairman of the Biology Department of Tsinghua University, so he must have a wide network of contacts. It should be easy to find a few academicians to review papers.
So Meng Heming is worthy of being treated as the second author.
The next step is the third author and other signatures. Zhang Wei has not yet figured out how to divide this cake.
Now it seems that we have to sort it out in advance and get the papers signed, so that there will be graduate students willing to come here to work as cows and horses.
Zhang Wei deliberately named a third author to prevent graduate students from working hard just to get a signature.
Having the third author's signature as an incentive is equivalent to giving a room for improvement. The three graduate students will definitely work hard to strive for this room for improvement.
As for the author signatures given, it will not affect the selection of the Nobel Prize.
When the Nobel Prize is being selected, it is very clear who is the most important contributor.
Only the person who actually produces the results of the research will be named a Nobel Prize winner. It is impossible for someone who comes here to put his name in the Nobel Prize.
For example, for the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, the paper had a total of 1,011 author signatures. When it was published, it was also sorted alphabetically by English last name.
Of course, that project did take decades to implement and used thousands of scientists. It is true that more than a thousand scientists contributed, and it is not considered a rubbish paper.
But the Nobel Prize Review Committee accurately found the three most contributing scientists from among the 1011 authors in alphabetical order and awarded the Nobel Prize to them. The other 1008 authors also There was no objection.
This is the power of the Nobel Prize.
There are many similar situations when evaluating the Nobel Prize. Mr. Tu Youyou’s paper on artemisinin also had many authors’ signatures, but in the end, only Mr. Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize. .
It can also be seen from this aspect that the Nobel Prizes in the three major science categories are generally fair and just.
Some people will question why a certain famous writer has not won the Nobel Prize for Literature;
Some people will question the Nobel Prize in Economics as a pet of Wall Street;
As for the Nobel Peace Prize, it has been Stone hammers will be awarded to warmongers, terrorists, national extremists and traitors;
The impartiality of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine has never been doubted by the public.
Some people may think that it is unfair that someone’s scientific research achievements are outstanding and he did not win the Nobel Prize.
But what you can’t deny is that the real achievement of winning the Nobel Prize is indeed bringing development and progress to all mankind.
The United States has proven to the world that science without borders is complete nonsense.
But when it comes to the development and progress of all mankind, scientists still have a conscience!
