Chapter 714 Teaching tasks
"If the ion channel laboratory really has such a requirement, then we can only obey it." Liu Yuzhuang weighed the pros and cons and said it reluctantly.
He has done something like working 110 hours a day before. When he was young, he had no experience of working crazy.
But he is 40 years old now. Not to mention whether his body can handle it, the burden on the family is already very heavy. Liu Yuzhuang is not like Chu Huaiming alone, even his son has been recruited. Liu Yuzhuang has three children, all of whom are studying. The biggest one is at the age of going to the college entrance examination, and it is not a few years younger than Yang Rui. During this period, it is the time when you need money and parents' tutoring the most.
Of course, Liu Yuzhuang is quite enthusiastic about the human genome project. At the age of 40, it is also the last time for men to fight. If you fight bravely, you may reach a new world.
Under Yang Rui's stern eyes, Liu Yuzhuang gave an indisputable answer: obey the laboratory's dispatch.
As he thought, 110 hours of crazy work would never last.
However, he did not estimate Yang Rui's harsh target of recruiting people.
Yang Rui's goal is extremely realistic. If it is a big bull or a calf, there is nothing to say. If you try your best to recruit it, you must give excellent conditions. If you charge one more, it is at least equivalent to raising a tenant who pays the rent with an impact factor.
But if it is not a big bull or a calf, all Yang Rui needs is heavy labor.
It is very tiring and hard to do gene sequencing, and there is endless work.
There are 3 billion base pairs in the human body. Although it cannot be said that the same steps are repeated 3 billion times, it is normal to repeat tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times.
The big guys’ job is to develop tools and develop newer and more effective sequencing methods, but no matter how advanced and effective the sequencing methods are, laborers are always involved.
Science and Technology Buildings require both designers and construction workers.
Liu Yuzhuang and Chu Huaiming were recognized as construction workers by Yang Rui, so they naturally put forward the requirements of construction workers.
Now it seems that Liu Yuzhuang cannot meet the requirements. Yang Rui doesn’t care about this. It is difficult to find a general. People like Liu Yuzhuang who move bricks and tiles want as much as they want in China.
Yang Rui turned his eyes to Chu Huaiming and said, "If Professor Chu has time recently, he can come to our laboratory to try the instruments and other things, so we can communicate more."
Chu Huaiming knew that this was a test and quickly agreed.
Even if the labor is required, we must test to distinguish whether it is a large worker or a small worker.
The small workers are all over the floor, just doing some electrophoresis work. Scientific research Wang or a slightly stronger dog can do it. If it really doesn't work, it's just that it's a bit inefficient. If Chu Huaiming is a small worker, then there's no need to recruit and waste a place.
It is a bit difficult for a long-term worker. It is not a very smart and studious head dog. It is difficult to master it after only three or four years of training. If you want to do it well, you need more operation and time accumulation.
In foreign countries, major engineering is usually PHD, or young people who have just obtained a doctoral degree.
But in 1984, students were stolen after graduating from undergraduate studies. It was not easy to catch a PHD that had been trained for six or eight years.
If it cannot be backward compatible, then you can only look upward.
Associate professors like Chu Huaiming are just in their early forties. After removing the waste period of about 10 years, they are almost the same as those of PHD who graduated at the age of 30. Of course, there is actually a difference. In the same way, when working hard, a 35-year-old doctoral student receives much better training than an associate professor who has been exploring for more than ten years. Moreover, they have better physical strength and energy, and their ability to accept new knowledge is also stronger.
Simply put, except for a few talented people, Chu Huaiming's age associate professor has devoted his best years to political struggle. Whether it is active or passive struggle, his academic talent and knowledge accumulation have basically been wasted. It is already difficult to become a designer, especially an excellent designer. He can only strive to be a good technical worker or an older technical worker.
In fact, in China, if there are PHDs in Europe and the United States who graduated from European and American universities, they will be treated directly by professors. But that's the case, there are not many, let alone Yang Rui can attract them with just one bone?
People return to China to eat meat. If they just want to join a good laboratory, there will still be a lot of laboratories for second-level and third-level scholars abroad.
When Liu Yuzhuang saw Yang Rui talking to Chu Huaiming, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "I can make time soon, can I come here?"
"Even if we try it, our working hours are still very long." Yang Rui paused and said: "We now have several scientific research groups. One experimental group can withstand long hours, and another experimental group can't withstand long hours."
"What research did the experimental group that could not bear long-term work do?"
"No one is there yet, so I don't know what research I do." Yang Rui felt that this was his polite rejection.
When Liu Yuzhuang heard this, he couldn't accept it and said, "That is to say, those who can't bear working for a long time will have to sit on the bench?"
"Our conditions are not good, so we can only follow the task."
"Even people can't stand the 110 hours of working hours a week."
"China is so big, there is always something we can bear. As long as we persist for two or three years, we will naturally be more abundant." Yang Rui said his forced labor with great righteousness.
Liu Yuzhuang was a little unhappy, but could only admit that Yang Rui was right.
This is the world of scientific research. Not to mention China now, even if it is put into Europe 30 years later, it will be seen in Southern Europe, which is known for its laziness. The PHD at the University of Madrid in Spain also has to work more than ten hours a day.
It is okay for doctoral students from Pheasant University to read casually, but what does that have to do with scientific research? After graduation, most of them survive in the industry, and maybe they will become civil servants, so there is no need to talk about labor.
"Then I'll come here tomorrow." Chu Huaiming was afraid that Liu Yuzhuang would make Yang Rui angry, so he quickly said goodbye and left.
After leaving the door, Liu Yuzhuang said unhappy and angrily: "We are all in our forties. If we let us work for more than ten hours a day, isn't that going to kill us?"
Chu Huaiming said nothing.
"Old Chu." Liu Yuzhuang shouted: "Are you afraid of being exhausted here?"
Chu Huaiming hesitated for a moment and said, "I am idle when I go back, so don't we want to be idle."
"If you don't want it, I'm willing." Liu Yuzhuang muttered, saying, "I would rather go back to teach. Our school has re-established the biology department and is in a mess. It's the time to use people, and teaching can still be beyond our reach..."
"Teaching is good." Chu Huaiming smiled, but he was unwilling to do so. His goal was never outspoken.
Inside the ion channel laboratory.
Professor Cai walked out of the lab in the inner room and asked with a smile: "Have you found a suitable candidate yet?"
"Tsinghua's level is still higher, but I'm worried that they are unwilling to do general work." Yang Rui shrugged and asked tentatively: "The two are associate professors, and our school doesn't have many seats for them."
"If you can meet the conditions, you can have many positions. If you cannot meet the conditions, you cannot give them even if you have a position." Professor Cai's answer was very tactful. The conditions he mentioned are naturally much more difficult than applying to our school, and there are rigid requirements for projects, results, papers, etc.
Yang Rui said helplessly: "That seems to be impossible."
"Then do you want Chu Huaiming to come to the laboratory for testing?"
"If he can persist and sign his paper, wouldn't your request be met?"
Professor Cai was silent: "You made this idea."
If you want to modify the conditions, then you will think that the conditions for introducing talents to the ion channel laboratory are no longer low. In other words, if Yang Rui wants to sign the paper, he will have the papers to be divided. This is someone else's ability and he has no way to interfere.
Professor Cai shook his head when he didn't know it and said, "I have an idea to help you understand whether there are appropriate candidates for Tsinghua University, other colleges and universities and research institutions."
"What's the idea?"
"You know what Tsinghua is rebuilding the biology department."
"certainly."
"The relationship between Peking University and Tsinghua University has a long history. In fact, some of our Peking University Biology Department were separated from Tsinghua University. Now, Tsinghua wants to rebuild the Biology Department, and Peking University is also responsible for helping them. In terms of funds, instruments, etc., everyone allocates funds from the state, so we don't need to be generous, but in terms of personnel, Tsinghua hopes that Peking University can support some."
“How to support it?”
"Peking University mainly provides teaching talents and substitutes for Tsinghua's first biology students. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and other brother units will provide them with other help." Professor Cai paused and said, "Speaking of this, including Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units, all owed Tsinghua a favor debt. The department adjustment in 1952 was adjusted, and by 1984, it was a full 32 years. Tsinghua has been blank in the field of biology. Now that it is rebuilt, the units that can help must pay the debt well. I think, if you were in the past, wouldn't you be able to see the elite soldiers and generals selected by each unit?"
"I'm going?" Yang Rui pointed to his nose and asked, "What did I do in the past?"
"In the name of the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, I will give substitutes to Peking University students." Professor Cai said naturally: "Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory is also a key laboratory of our school, and is applying for a provincial key laboratory. You are the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory, so it is normal for you to undertake some teaching tasks."
"I am still a student myself."
"The best one is the first. You have a CELL and a natural article. It is not popular to teach a few undergraduates. Besides, are there few undergraduates and graduate students in your laboratory?"
"Can Tsinghua agree?"
"How can you disagree? If you are willing to go, they will not be too happy." Professor Cai tried his best to persuade him. In order to find a place to help Director Yang of the ion channel laboratory to clear his name, Professor Cai also took great pains.
The same laboratory director, and other laboratory directors all undertake teaching tasks, but Yang Rui does not undertake it, which is obviously inappropriate in name. However, it is somewhat inappropriate to let Yang Rui teach directly at Peking University. After all, he himself is still a sophomore.
However, it would be fine to go to Tsinghua University. Yang Rui went to Tsinghua University, and he went to the name of the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, and the author of nature and CELL. Such a title is the best in China.
Yang Rui could understand it, but he still felt it was a bit strange.
