Chapter 358 Recruitment
Unlike the increasingly tense atmosphere in Richard's laboratory, the atmosphere in Huarui's laboratory is becoming more and more relaxed, especially when it is approaching holidays and New Year. Except for the tried and tested veterans like Huang Mao, interns including Wang Ying and Zhao Pingchuan, all of them are a little absent-minded.
However, Yang Rui did not urge everyone this time. The first phase of the experiment should be relaxed. Besides, the work of the first phase is to induce fruit flies with potassium channel gene defects and discuss this method based on this. This phase is the simplest and most intense. In the second phase, it is necessary to lock in the cloning of genes and analyze the molecular mechanism. That is not a work that can be completed in one month or two months. It requires constant trial and error. The Chinese Lunar New Year is approaching, so there is no need to rush for a while.
Of course, what makes Yang Rui more relieved is the publication of the paper in "JMC". With this article, any paper and experiment that uses cloning mutant genes to explore the function of ion channels must be cited. Therefore, in the next experiment, Yang Rui does not need to be too anxious. Instead, he should prepare carefully and write a heavyweight paper to stabilize the foundation.
This is the main means to prove one's own strength after being innovative.
The publication of this paper is equivalent to giving rise to a path for related research. Anyone can explore and study the functions of ion channels based on Yang Rui's paper. Yang Rui's competitors have increased.
This is also the disadvantage of publishing papers in stages. If Yang Rui makes the entire experiment and publishes the paper, then the previous citations and later citations are likely to get a triple-digit citation. In academia, this is a super large scale.
But he can't do it without doing this. The competition in the academic community is increasing and wider. No one can make a living by relying on one creativity. Actual work and dedication cannot be missed.
From Yang Rui's perspective, as long as he can publish a heavyweight paper in the second stage, the total citation number of the two papers may increase, and the value to him may be greater.
The difference between the two stages is also speed and quality.
Speed means land grabbing, and quality means building on the ground.
If the speed is not fast enough and cannot be enclosed, you have to build a building on the land that others enclose, and pay the land money to others so that the other party can collect the money without moving.
The speed is fast enough to enclose the ground. This is the first level of happiness. You can receive the payment without moving, but you cannot stop others from building buildings. If the construction is not good enough, other people's buildings will cover your buildings, and in the end you have nowhere to build them.
In Yang Rui's opinion, it is not enough to build a towering building with quality and quantity based on himself and Huang Mao alone.
After the internal celebrations ended, Yang Rui didn't look for anyone, so he invited Tu Xian to come first, considering increasing the number of people.
The second stage of work is much larger than the first stage of work, and it is also quite hard to complete it by two people.
Tu Xian works at Beijing Iron and Steel College, and his level is needless to say. He often appears in Huarui Laboratory like a semi-part-time job. The two parties are familiar enough and even signed the laboratory contract in advance. It can be said that there are no preliminary problems.
It was also very easy to find Tu Xian. Yang Rui was waiting in the laboratory, and on the third day, Tu Xian came to the door with a pastry.
"The paper you made has won Richard from the University of California. It is very satisfying and very satisfying!" Tu Xian used to come to the laboratory often. In the past month, he has only come less due to scientific research competitions. This time he came to the door, but he brought a bag of pastries and placed it on the table in the yard.
Wei Zhenxue didn't care whether he was here to find him or not. He smiled when he picked up the pastry: "I've come here, what are you carrying."
After saying that, without anyone asking, he took apart the pastry and distributed it to everyone, and stuffed a large one into his mouth.
"Didn't we just have lunch? You should at least kill a pot of wood-bearded meat." Yang Rui felt embarrassed to look at Wei Zhenxue's voracious swallowing.
Wei Zhenxue took a sip of water, swallowed the pastry, and asked, "Have our institute started to do a regular basis?"
In a blink of an eye, Wei Zhenxue had another funny attack, showing a resentful woman from the deep palace, frowned and said, "Director Yang, your laboratory has achieved results. Do you think I have eaten too much?"
"I'm thinking about your body." Yang Rui said in a mess: "Stop wandering around, don't you still have experiments? Has the paper been published?"
"Minister, you can finish it in a few days." Wei Zhenxue winked proudly. Miserer said that the paper has basically been approved. As long as it is revised according to the reviewer's requirements, it can generally be published smoothly. Even if Yang Rui uses tons of real materials, he may still encounter a scam reviewer who refuses or even asks for a major review. Wei Zhenxue's paper was completed by himself. As a researcher who has just begun to publish papers abroad, it is worth showing off his evaluation by Miserer.
Tu Xian also bowed and said congratulations.
Wei Zhenxue said bluntly: "No need to congratulate me. After my experiment is completed, I will join the research group of potassium channel. JMC will sign the first author. Besides, it is not too late to say congratulations."
"You are the third author at most."
"The third author is enough for me to enter the institute."
"Which research institute do you want to join?" Yang Rui was surprised.
Wei Zhenxue curled his lips and said, "I'm not going to join the research institute. I just want them to come to me. I'll refuse again, so comfortable."
"You have the talent to keep the conversation going. Let's talk inside." Yang Rui gave up.
Tu Xian followed with a smile and said, "Old Wei's experimental level is still good."
Yang Rui said: "He can be the main assistant, but he is not familiar with the biological system and cannot be the main researcher."
"It makes sense. He is studying chemistry, but he needs to train."
"Compared to Lao Wei, Teacher Tu, you are a professional match. Are you interested in coming to our laboratory for a long time?" Yang Rui paused and said, "You have signed laboratories related contracts, but it will take longer to come."
"for how long?"
"All the time except class." Yang Rui spread his hands.
Tu Xian smiled: "That means I can't take care of the school's laboratory?"
"No, you can maintain the teaching position and continue to attend classes, but other than that, you have to spend the rest of your time in the laboratory, working more than 8 hours a day, and when you are busy, you know that 12 hours may be more, and there is no overtime pay." Researchers work overtime for a long time, just like management positions like CEO, they do not calculate income based on time, which is also the characteristic of intellectual positions.
Tu Xian also smiled seriously and said, "I have never seen overtime pay. I have to go back and discuss with my partner. My partner is also engaged in research. We are working on a project in the school laboratory. If I leave, her responsibility will be heavy."
"If you don't work, please ask your sister-in-law to come with you. The conditions and treatment of our laboratory are better than those of the school." Yang Rui did not ask them to resign, but just went to Huarui Laboratory to work in a temporary job. There are currently no relevant regulations in China, and there are many employees who do this.
At the same time, Yang Rui found another page of "laboratory behavior norms" and handed it to Tu Xian, saying: "This is our basic requirement. The contract requirements are stricter and more detailed. Do you see if your sister-in-law can accept it?"
"I've been prepared for a long time. I'm just throwing myself into the trap." Tu Xian smiled happily instead, and then looked down.
The code of conduct was written by Yang Rui himself, with safety norms, daily moral norms, and the most important scientific research norms: the research results in the laboratory belong to Huarui Laboratory. All experimental records, synthetic compounds, reagents, consumables, cells, etc. cannot be taken away when they leave, but they have the right to sign the published articles and applied for patents, and are ranked according to the contributions...
Tu Xian swept it over and said nothing.
This is just to write down the current unspoken rules. As for the situation of domestic laboratories, researchers have no research results, and no patents available for application. The results either belong to the state or collective, or in short, they have no individual share.
Even in published articles and patents applied for, researchers do not necessarily have the right to sign. The bigger the project, the more so it is. Many times, leaders sign without doing anything, and sometimes, leaders decide the order of signing when meetings. Chinese researchers desperately pursue administrative power, and many times, it is also out of self-protection.
Tu Xian is a young man in Beijing Iron and Steel College. In terms of employment level, the lecturer is better than the teaching assistant, but he still exudes the "Xiao Tu" atmosphere.
Compared with a comprehensive university like Peking University and Tsinghua University, Beijing Iron and Steel College in 1984 was still a school that focused on industrial science. The initial biology major received limited attention and the conditions for the laboratory were not very good.
Tu Xian was thinking about it on the road, but he was quite moved by Yang Rui's proposal.
After returning home and having supper, Tu Xian took the initiative to apply for washing dishes, and skillfully took out the new issue of "JMC" and dedicated it to the target, saying: "Xiaoyun, look at my newly borrowed journal."
After brushing the bowl, Tu Xian pointed to the paper in Huarui Laboratory again and said, "You read this article."
Wang Xiaoyun quietly watched it again.
Tu Xian waited for her to finish reading, sat down with her, and smiled and said, "What do you think? You're doing well."
"Good."
"This Huarui Laboratory invites me to their laboratory without quitting. Even if you work longer every day, you can also go and have a look if you want."
“What about the projects we are doing now?”
"We have time to do it. The conditions in Huarui Laboratory are excellent. You will know after you go and see..." Tu Xian said, and his wishes increased instead.
Wang Xiaoyun listened without any means and just agreed to go to Huarui Laboratory to take a look.
