Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 180 Institute of Life Sciences
"My methods can't solve all the problems. I really don't know if they can solve the Collats conjecture.

At least I haven't thought of an idea to solve the Collats conjecture. Maybe after handing it over to those young people, they can solve it. "

Zhou Ming explained to Li Mingzhi that he was still talking about young people.

"If you do what you did before, the young people who graduated this year and still keep talking, you are no better than them."

After hearing Zhou Ming say this like an elder, Li Mingzhi also spoke.

"Haha, isn't it because I've been with you for a long time? I always feel like I'm getting older." Zhou Ming explained with a laugh.

"From what you said just now, I thought you could solve the Collats conjecture." Li Mingzhi said, "By the way, since you have already thought about the topics for the graduate students in the School of Mathematics, then Have you also thought about the topics for graduate students entering next year at the School of Life Sciences?"

Li Mingzhi asked Zhou Ming curiously. The summer camp of the School of Life Sciences of HKUST started reporting on the 25th of this month, while the summer camp of the School of Mathematical Sciences did not start reporting until the [-]th.

Zhou Ming has already thought about the topics for the postgraduates in the mathematics institute where the summer camp started relatively late. As for the summer camp of the School of Biological Sciences, which starts in a few days, Li Mingzhi naturally thinks that Zhou Ming must have thought about the topics too.

"I haven't figured it out yet, let's wait and see how this group of students do. Besides, the two subjects of biology and mathematics are completely different. After I set a topic for them in mathematics, they will start with pen and paper. up.

But in terms of biology, even if I told them what the subject was a year in advance, they didn't have any way to carry it out. They had to wait until the school started here, and then they could officially start the experiment when they arrived at the school. "

Zhou Ming explained to Li Zhiming.

"I heard you said so much, you just talked about the students, what about you? Have you thought about your own research direction?" Li Mingzhi began to talk clichéd again

"Dean Li, you also know that when I went to the capital at the end of May, the superiors arranged for me a space synthetic biology research project. Now the biological side is busy with the subject of artificial food synthesis, and the subject of space synthetic biology. , I really don’t have the time.”

Zhou Ming explained again.

Li Mingzhi also knew about Zhou Ming's situation, so after Zhou Ming gave this reason, he never told Zhou Ming to let him start studying mathematics.

"Okay, okay. Then you agree, if you decide on the research direction, tell me as soon as possible."

……

Not long after, the conversation between the two ended.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ming was busy with other things while blowing the air conditioner in the office.

The three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the [-]th day. On the [-]th day, all the undergraduates who participated in the summer camp of the School of Life Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China came to Luzhou, and a school bus specially picked them up at the station.

On the first day when these students came to Luzhou, after reporting, many of them came to chat with teachers from the School of Biological Sciences of HKUST in order to have a better understanding of the school and its teachers.

Although some of these students who participated in the summer camp participated in several summer camps of several schools at the same time this summer, they did not know the instructor in detail.

However, there are also many students who have done enough homework, and have already sent emails to the tutors they are going to choose in advance and contacted them.

In fact, if you want to pass the summer camp, there are two points. First, you have a mentor who wants you, and second, your performance will not be too bad.

Zhou Ming's reputation is the greatest, and his scientific research achievements are also the most dazzling. Naturally, more students come to him than to other teachers.

Although these students had all sent emails to Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming gave them the same answer, they still wanted to become Zhou Ming's students, so they all came to Zhou Ming.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Ming was about the same age as them, so many of the questions they asked were all strange and different.

There are questions related to Zhou Ming's previous or current research content, as well as purely personal questions such as "when will Zhou Ming get married", "girlfriend went to Nankai, why didn't Zhou Ming go to Nankai" and so on.

For topics related to biology, Zhou Ming naturally answered what he could. Some of them involved the content that his research group was currently researching, and Zhou Ming, who couldn't say more, would not say more.

As for his private affairs, Zhou Ming kept silent.

After the students who asked about this kind of thing hit the wall several times, no one asked about this personal question anymore.

The procedures of the summer camps of all universities are similar. After the first day of reporting, the second day is the opening ceremony.

At the opening, there will be introductions by the guests present, such as Zhang Mingjie, the honorary dean of the School of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, Xue Tian, ​​the executive dean of the School of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and the honorary president of Huaguo University of Science and Technology Zhou Chunli and others, the leaders of these courtyards and schools.

Zhou Ming heard from other teachers that Zhou Chunli, the honorary principal of the University of Science and Technology, participated in the summer camp for the first time. After all, he rarely even stayed at the University of Science and Technology, let alone participated in any summer camp activities.

Afterwards, there was an introduction to the disciplines of the School of Life Sciences of HKUST, and a brief introduction to the tutors who came today.

At the end, there will be a group photo of teachers and students.

In this way, one morning passed.

The next afternoon is the written test and interview. The written test is naturally an exam, and the interview mainly includes two parts, one is a scientific research ability report, and the other is an English ability test.

In the scientific research ability report section, everyone needs to make a 5-minute ppt to introduce the scientific research projects they did during their undergraduate years.

In the English proficiency test, students will be given a professional-related English literature of about 200 words. Students need to read it aloud and retell their understanding of the short passage in English.

These things are all written in the notice. As long as you read the summer camp notice issued by the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China, you will not be unaware of these things.

In fact, these are almost all the summer camps of domestic universities. When Shen Qingqiu participated in the summer camp of Nankai University's School of Life Sciences, there was such a process.

When reporting on scientific research capabilities, you must have a thorough understanding of your project background knowledge and professional skills. This is what Shen Qingqiu told Zhou Ming after attending the summer camp at the School of Life Sciences at Nankai University.

And now that Zhou Ming appeared here as a mentor, he was more touched by what Shen Qingqiu said at the beginning, because the mentor group would ask questions, and Zhou Ming was a member of the mentor group.

If you do not have a thorough understanding of the project background and professional skills, and you stumble when answering questions from your tutors, then you will leave a bad impression on the tutors, and if you leave a bad impression on the tutors, no tutor will ask you. .

In the end, if no mentor is willing to accept you, then no matter how well you perform in the written test, you may not be an excellent camper of the summer camp.

Therefore, when answering the questions from the tutors, you must express clearly, with a loud voice, and don't be afraid of making mistakes, just say what you know.

As for the English part, the key lies in the quick memory of key words, and the same can't be panicked.

"This non-coding RNA that you said you were involved with..."

One of the tutors in the tutor group is asking a girl surnamed Wu about the research she published in the PPT just now.

When the student answered the instructor's question, Zhou Ming's brow furrowed imperceptibly, and soon returned to normal.

After the student finished answering the tutor's inquiry, Zhou Ming didn't ask her any more questions, but began to search the Internet for the thesis that the student mentioned earlier.

"what happened?"

A tutor next to Zhou Ming saw that Zhou Ming was flipping through a paper, so he leaned over and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little interested in the research she mentioned earlier, and I want to take a look." Zhou Ming said to the teacher, and continued to stare at the phone.

"That girl's performance is very good, but I don't know if she has contacted you? You can try to accept her as your student." The teacher thought that Zhou Ming was very satisfied with the girl's performance, so he asked Said to him.

At this time, another student walked up to the podium. Zhou Ming also put away his cell phone and continued to listen to the student's report.

After the interview is over, the next day's work is almost over.

On the third day, that is, on the sixth day, I visited the laboratory in the morning, and then let the teachers and students get to know each other better.

After the closing ceremony of the summer camp of the Academy of Biological Sciences in the afternoon, the students who came to the summer camp also boarded the bus provided by the school and took the bus to the station.

"How about it, are there any students in this batch of summer camp who have taken a fancy to it?"

After the last batch of students boarded the bus, Zhang Mingjie, the honorary dean of the School of Biological Sciences of HKUST, walked up to Zhou Ming and asked him.

"It's all okay." Zhou Ming said, he had never participated in the summer camp of the School of Life Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China before, and he had no way to compare how this group of students compared with the previous ones.

As for whether there was anything that caught Zhou Ming's eyes, it wasn't. That's why he said everything was okay when he answered Zhang Mingjie.

Hearing Zhou Ming's perfunctory answer, Zhang Mingjie knew that among this group of people, Zhou Ming probably didn't satisfy him, so he said to Zhou Ming: "I think these people are pretty good, don't judge them by your standards. To measure others, if you use yourself as the standard, let alone those students, I am afraid that the teachers here will not be able to meet the standard."

"Academician Zhang, I know. Among these people, you leave the boy named Li Junfeng and the girl named Liu Miaoyi to me." Zhou Ming said to Zhang Mingjie.

After hearing Zhou Ming say these two names, Zhang Mingjie showed a hint of surprise on his face, and he asked Zhou Ming: "I think the girl surnamed Wu is also pretty good.

Although her undergraduate school is 211, her professional ranking in their school is No.1, and I have read all the projects and published articles she has participated in. It can be said that she is the best performer among these people. "

Hearing that Zhang Mingjie mentioned the girl surnamed Wu, Zhou Ming frowned. He looked at Zhang Mingjie and said to him, "Dean Zhang, it doesn't matter what her undergraduate school is if I confiscate her. Neither.

I confiscated her for another reason, but it is not convenient for me to explain the specific reason.

But I didn't stop the courtyard from accepting her. Let her go to any teacher who wants her. "

The girl surnamed Wu mentioned by Zhang Mingjie was the student Zhou Ming checked her thesis yesterday.

After reading the test paper of this girl surnamed Wu yesterday's written test, and also reading the articles she wrote on the PPT, and in the process of communicating with her, Zhou Ming also asked her some questions.

Through these, Zhou Ming was able to confirm that the paper she wrote and published on the PPT was definitely not written by herself, at least she had limited knowledge of her own paper.

However, this is only Zhou Ming's judgment based on his own experience. After all, when he used the life simulator for simulation, he chose to keep his skills several times.

In one of the retained skills, the skill Zhou Ming acquired was [Thesis Skill].

But Zhou Ming didn't have enough evidence for this kind of thing. If he told Zhang Mingjie, if it got out, others might gossip about it.

In order to avoid Macau Street, Zhou Ming did not tell Zhang Mingjie the specific reason, but simply refused to accept her as a student.

After Zhang Mingjie heard what Zhou Ming said, although he was a little curious about why Zhou Ming did this, but seeing that Zhou Ming didn't say it clearly, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only reply to Zhou Ming: "Her written test scores and interview scores are very good. , since you don't want to accept it, then I'll ask other teachers to accept it."

"The performances of Li Junfeng and Liu Miaoyi are indeed quite good, but if this is the case, you will have to accept two graduate students for the summer camp alone.

There are also students in the school who want to choose you as a tutor, right?

And there will definitely be someone who will choose you in the unified examination, so you won't be able to accept four or five students a year? "

Li Mingzhi made the calculations for Zhou Ming, and found that the number of graduate students that Zhou Ming accepted was much larger than what he said before.

"I have a lot of subjects here, so it's good to have more students. And you don't have to worry that I don't have time to teach them. There are too many people in my laboratory. You can let them take it directly." Zhou Ming said.

Good guy, Zhou Ming understood all of this.

However, what Zhou Ming said is also true, but the subject of artificially synthesized food is big enough, and there are many experiments to be done under this subject.

After that, there was another space synthetic biology project, and there were also many experiments under this project. Zhou Ming could recruit more graduate students to help his research group get more assistants.

Moreover, these graduate students follow Zhou Ming and participate in some big projects, and they will have something to show after graduation.

"It seems that you know it all in your heart, I am worrying too much.

However, there are more and more people in your research group, and our school may not be able to let you go.

The school is going to apply to the higher authorities, and wants to build a life science research institute around the school, and you will be the director.

After all, you are also the chief scientist now, so it is no problem to have your own research institute, right?

How about it, are you interested? "

When Zhang Mingjie said the last thing, he smiled.

"Institute of Life Sciences?" Zhou Ming repeated the name, and then asked Zhang Mingjie, "Let me be the director. Is this your own idea, Academician Zhang, or yours?"

"Don't worry, this is not only my idea, but also the school's.

Are you worried about age?

Your strength has nothing to do with your age, otherwise the higher-ups would not have let you be the chief scientist of this space synthetic biology research project.

For these things in the future, you can think about other issues, but you don’t need to think about the issue of age. The issue of youth is no longer a problem for you. "

Zhang Mingjie said to Zhou Ming with certainty.
