Chapter 1469 Textbook
For Yang Rui, writing an article can be a very simple matter or a little difficult.
The easiest way is to take out a few articles in your mind, modify them and post them, or simply use the original text.
If you are not afraid of trouble, you can change it a little more and add some of your own ideas.
This is also the way Yang Rui chose.
It’s not that Yang Rui is not afraid of trouble, but that he is unwilling to waste a great opportunity.
If the article was used in ordinary publications, Yang Rui would rather not write it.
A nominee won the Nobel Prize, he doesn’t have time to write tofu pieces to make money.
Letting those who are qualified to design missiles sell tea eggs is the biggest waste of social resources - if a person sells tea eggs for half his life, then his greatest value to society may be the chance of a missile expert.
Yang Rui never thought of being a science popularization worker with a friendly attitude, nor did he think of writing popular science articles.
In the face of the general public, it is enough to write articles by scholars of ordinary research level, and perhaps they will write better. As for the popular science value of Daniu, it is actually aimed at scholars of ordinary research level. For example, a review written by Daniu, why are there easily thousands of citations? They are all provided by scholars with ordinary research level or above.
However, it is different to select textbooks after all.
Chinese textbooks are not like foreign countries, and Chinese textbooks in the 1980s are not like later generations. Today's textbooks are a national unified template, and they have been used for many years.
For example, if Yang Rui's articles are added to the textbooks next year, there will be at least one generation in the country who will read his articles. There may be many people who are familiar with his name.
This kind of social reputation is not used for nothing.
As for China's environment, only scientists can obtain this social reputation. For example, Chen Jingrun can be said to be the most well-known mathematician in China. Whether he can be considered the most well-known scientist in China depends on who wins or Yuan Longping.
As for officials and writers, they will eventually become disadvantaged in the education system, especially living officials and writers. The risk of publicity is too high and the wise will not be taken by the wise.
Moreover, Yang Rui has a further idea.
Writing popular science articles is more a social responsibility than a right.
Taking on social responsibilities in a small amount is a kind of effort, but what if you take on more?
For example, just participate in the compilation of a new version of a biology textbook?
For others, writing a new textbook is about years, not to mention a lot of effort.
For Yang Rui, it is not that trouble.
Moreover, he has good reasons.
Biology textbooks are too backward now.
Biology in the modern sense was only developed in a small amount after World War II, but by the 1980s, it was still in its infancy. If physics has become more self-consistent, biology has just pointed a small black dot, pretending it is a circle.
However, in the physical sense, a point is not a circle.
The leapfrog development of biology comes after the human genome project.
Biology in the pre-genomic era is the biology of cells, and biology in the post-genomic era has really begun to study why.
Therefore, if Yang Rui stood from the academic point of view of the 21st century and looked at the textbooks of the 1980s, he could say that there were too many complaints.
Looking forward, the 56-year biology textbook talks about Darwin and genetics, but only talks about the Michulin school, not the Morgan school. What is the Morgan school? Morgan is the one who raises fruit flies. Not to mention that genetics is derived from the research of Your Excellency Morgan, even the genetics of later generations are indispensable to the contribution of Your Excellency Morgan. When Yang Rui was doing research on ion channels, he found the determined leg-shaking gene, which was the contribution of the fruit flies.
As a result, the genetics of Your Excellency Morgan did not allow him to talk about, so he could only talk about Comrade Michulin's theory. Comrade Michulin's academic thoughts, simply put, are "man conquers nature". He denied the existence of genetic materials, that is, genes, and believed that through external influences, the characteristics of organisms can be controlled. Of course, it is not surprising that he had such an idea. He was a horticulturalist. According to the classification of the scientific community, horticulturalists should not be connected together. It is actually very consistent with the personality of such people who make bonsai every day. However, when the Soviet government intervened and further influenced many countries, including China, this horticulturalist deserved to die.
Domestic biology teaches horticulturalists genetics. In the 1960s, the revised biology is mainly taught "three major crops and one pig"!
Students who are studying in college need to know how to grow rice, wheat, cotton and pigs? They don’t need to do so at all.
This is like the Chinese media’s favorite discussion of high scores and low energy after the 1990s. It seems that college students can’t fold quilts, which is a huge sin. Students who can study and do not fold quilts will naturally invite a former student who can fold quilts to be a nanny. What’s the point of whether they can fold quilts? Unless he has a doctorate.
In the biology textbooks in the 1980s, they started talking about molecular biology, but they were all full of mistakes and omissions.
Not to mention Yang Rui's level, his current reputation and understanding of biology can easily defeat the whole world.
The only problem is that the face of a beaten person will be bad.
China's textbooks are not written by people with the highest academic level, and there is no need.
The other party will not even invite the highest academic qualifications to participate in the writing or consultation.
But what if the highest level is the main thing to write a textbook for a subject?
Of course, it was rejected.
Unless...you make the textbook first.
This is something that no normal person will do. High-level scholars lack time and will not bother to write a book.
But Yang Rui doesn't care.
He didn't have much time to make a book, but instead handed it out, which took some time.
This thing cannot be submitted, or even given to the publisher like a popular science article, but it must create some momentum.
Fortunately, Yang Rui had already become a wing. He invited several big bulls, along with Professor Cai and Wu Hongbo from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to write a passionate proposal and handed it out, and several comrades from the textbook committee stopped.
In the eyes of people in the biological world, Yang Rui seems to be doing his job without doing his job.
Some even regarded the year he disappeared as the time he spent writing textbooks, so that someone sent a letter with earnest words to persuade Yang Rui to focus on academics and not be distracted...
