Chapter 17 nature
After Chen Yuanguang returned to Jiangnan University from the capital of Shu, he was blessed with a halo. He first found the counselor and showed him the recommendation letter he had received from Mr. Michael Levitt, and then said that he wanted to Collaborating with Levitt to publish a Nature article requires borrowing the laboratory of the School of Biology.
With the gold medal in the Science Fiction Rising Star Competition as evidence, and the recommendation letter signed by Levitt, the credibility of this matter is very high, and for Jiangsu University, the laboratory Chen Yuanguang wants is not a novelty. Not to mention publishing the main issue of Nature, even if it is just a sub-issue of Nature, it is a very profitable business for them.
The counselor quickly went to find the dean, and then helped Chen Yuanguang coordinate the laboratory.
After the coordination was completed, the counselor surnamed Liu said with emotion: "Yuan Guang, you are really unexpected.
You are doing well in writing novels, why do you want to go abroad again? ”
With Levitt’s letter of recommendation, the world is so big and there are so many places to go. Originally I could only apply for US50, but now I can apply for colleges and universities within US20.
If Nature sends it, Choose from the top ten universities.
"Instructor, I still want to go out and have a look. "Chen Yuanguang said after taking the key from the counselor.
The counselor surnamed Liu looked suddenly enlightened: "It's because of Lin Jia, I didn't expect that you are still an infatuated kid. ”
Chen Yuanguang did not explain much: "Instructor, just wait for my good news."
Computer simulation of directed evolution of proteins is not a difficult experiment. For Chen Yuanguang, who has a lot of theoretical knowledge, it will take about Within two weeks, a non-functional short peptide was transformed into a peptide that can bind nucleic acids.
This result is enough to prove the feasibility of the simulation method he designed.
After sending the experimental results to Levitt, Levitt reproduced the experiment faster and responded to him within a week, asking him to combine the two experimental results and the entire paper could be published.
With Levitt’s endorsement, the review was completed in two weeks and published in the official issue of Nature before November.
Publishing in Nature is news worthy of occupying the front page of the official website for any university in China, especially when an undergraduate student publishes in Nature.
And the first author and corresponding author of this paper are both Chen Yuanguang, and Levitt is only in name.
“For the first time in history! An undergraduate student at Jiangsu University published a work in Nature, completing more than 90% of the workload independently”
“Nature ("Nature") published Jiangcheng in the form of a long article (Article) Research results of Chen Yuanguang, School of Chemistry and Molecular Science, on a new method of protein simulation directed evolution.
The first unit of this paper is Jiangcheng University, and the first author is Chen Yuanguang, a 2015 undergraduate student in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Science, Jiangda University. The first author, Michael Levitt, a Nobel Prize winner at Stanford University, is the second author of this article."
After Nature was published, Jiangnan University’s official website quickly published the news, including WeChat public accounts and Weibo, which promoted it vigorously.
For Jiang University, this is a good opportunity to overthrow Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology in this year’s enrollment. Our undergraduate students have won the Science Fiction Award and published Nature, and have developed morally, intellectually, physically, artistically, and in an all-round way. You have Are such good undergraduates trained?
The battle between Luojia Mountain and Yujiashan Mountain has been going on for a long time. They all have similar scores, they are both in Jiangcheng, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The collective name Huawu cannot eliminate the habit of comparison between the two sides.
“This year’s enrollment, the score line of the School of Chemistry will have to go up by at least five points.” The director of the Teaching Management Office in charge of enrollment joked.
Instructor Liu said: "Five points? At least ten! When we take the team to high schools this year to do publicity, Chen Yuanguang's case can be used repeatedly."
The director of the office said: "The major disadvantages of biochemical environmental materials have been long-standing. Chemistry is not easy to find employment, which has led to many parents being skeptical about it. If Chen Yuanguang were a student of the School of Biology, he would not be able to get five points.
Everyone is very realistic now. Majors that are difficult to find a job are simply not worth the price.
If we were majoring in computer science, I believe we could raise the score by ten points." Counselor Liu: "That's what you said. "
The office director then asked: "Chen Yuanguang has heard of it before, but he didn't expect that he would give us such a big star soon after graduation.
The dean of the School of Biology and the deputy secretary of the school are looking for me. The School of Biology is so bad! I asked if I could say that Chen Yuanguang was jointly trained by the School of Chemistry and the School of Biology. After all, the thesis is a thesis on the intersection of structural biology and computational biology.
We have finally come up with something good, and they want to share half of it.
The deputy secretary of the school asked me if it was possible for Chen Yuanguang to stay in the school for graduate school and let Boss Deng’s team take care of him.
We can give him a guarantee that he will stay in the school directly as an assistant professor after graduating with a Ph.D., and he will be guaranteed to be established. You can talk about it later. If you don't want to, forget it. We don't want to be evil people. We just want to say one thing. ”
The office director saw it very clearly. With Chen Yuanguang’s recommendation letter for the Nobel Prize and a Nature article in hand, it is easy to apply for a direct PhD from a top overseas university, go out and make some achievements, and then come back and become a junior.< br>
Therefore, Jiangda's cake did not appeal to Chen Yuanguang at all, so the college did not do any work. The director of the office still wanted to maintain the relationship and let Dr. Chen Yuanguang return to teach in the School of Chemistry after he graduated.
The counselor surnamed Liu agreed repeatedly, and then forwarded the news about Chen Yuanguang’s nature announcement to the student groups of various schools of chemistry.
"@everyone, senior Chen Yuanguang published a Nature paper as the first author. Everyone should learn from him and strive to have scientific research results before graduating from undergraduate degree." This is for freshmen, sophomores, and seniors Issued by a third-year student.
"@everyone, Chen Yuanguang has sent Nature. If you want to send Nature, you can ask for advice privately." This is for seniors, graduate students, and doctoral students.
It’s a good thing for the juniors and girls who saw this news. We are all in the second grade of secondary school, and we have ambitions in our hearts. We know that it is difficult to publish nature, so we can always publish a local journal.
When the students who were seniors and above saw it, they felt like shit in their hearts.
"Director Liu, don't be ridiculous. If I could use nature, all the pigs would climb up the trees."
"Guangshen is beginning to exert his strength, and he is taking science fiction stars, and It’s nature”
“Guangshen is so awesome”
“Guangshen is so awesome”
Chen Yuanguang's former roommate posted an emoticon made of Chen Yuanguang's photo in the group, which said that Guangshen is so awesome, and everyone started to answer questions. All the same emoticons.
Chen Yuanguang glanced at the group and felt secretly happy. He didn’t feel much about nature. He was very happy to see his classmates who had been with him day and night for four years complimenting him like this.
When I first came to freshman year, we were all gods. As time went by, everyone began to realize that we were all mortals, and they gradually stopped being called so.
Everyone usually calls him Yuan Guang. After winning the Science Fiction Rising Star Award, his nickname in school became Great Writer, and now he has been directly upgraded to the God of Light.
Because Chen Yuanguang won the award in the Science Fiction Rising Star Competition, everyone was not very impressed because there are too few people taking this path. No one aims to be a writer, let alone a writer in the subdivision of science fiction. .
There is still time before twelve o'clock in the evening
