Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 195 Cooperation Invitation

"Little Xueer, aren't you doing experiments with Professor Zhou? Did he tell you about the Luzhou Institute of Life Sciences that was mentioned in the group?"

In the senior class groups of the School of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, shortly after the counselors released the relevant notice about the Luzhou Institute of Life Sciences, all of Liu Yongxue's roommates surrounded Liu Yongxue and asked her Listening to what the counselor said in this group.

"Professor Zhou seldom talks to us about things that have nothing to do with the experiment in the laboratory. What he tells us is about our experiment. Even if it is not about the experiment, it is related to our major. biological knowledge.

And when he came to the lab, all of us were busy asking questions about experiments and projects. How could we ask other questions during such a precious opportunity? Professor Zhou is also very busy.

However, Professor Zhou told us something about the scientist's studio before, and he took some people from our laboratory to go there. "

Seeing her roommates gathered around, Liu Yongxue explained to them that she was used to this kind of situation.

Although people now have mobile phones, they don't have night chats like they used to, but Liu Yongxue and the others also had some night chats in the dormitory, and during the night chats in the dormitory, the topic they talked about most was about Zhou Ming. It seems to be a topic that they can never finish talking about.

As Liu Yongxue was the only person in their dormitory who was doing experiments in Zhou Ming's laboratory, when other roommates talked about Zhou Ming, they would naturally ask her.

Like "Have you met Professor Zhou's girlfriend?" "Has Professor Zhou told them about his girlfriend?" "Has Professor Zhou had any learning experience? How did he suddenly become so powerful?" "Zhou Some things that happened when I was teaching undergraduates" and so on.

As for these questions, Liu Yongxue naturally couldn't answer them. She was there to study, not to inquire about Zhou Ming's privacy.

However, regarding "some things that happened on campus when Professor Zhou was an undergraduate", they can just go to the Internet to read some answers about Zhou Ming. After all, there is Zhao Letian, the topic of "Zhou Ming". The professional answerer is here.

"By the way, what the counselor said about waiving today, have you all thought about the teacher you are looking for? Are you preparing for work or continuing to study after graduation? I want to stay in this school and continue studying, but I want Professor Zhou to be my tutor. It's definitely impossible."

Once the nightly conversation in this dormitory started, it would not end so easily, and soon someone talked about the whereabouts of graduation.

"I want to go abroad." The one who said to go abroad, other people have known her thoughts for a long time, and she has been working hard for it, so no one said anything more.

"I'm also staying in school for graduate studies, and I want to get a Ph. Graduate tutor.

"I'm going to find a job right after graduation." The fourth roommate said, her idea seemed a bit out of place in the four-person dormitory, when three people chose to go to higher education.

Among the graduates of Huaguo University of Science and Technology in 2016, in the statistics of the employment destination of the School of Life Sciences, 66.9% of them went to school at home and abroad, while only 14.6% signed employment agreements, and the remaining 20% ​​were They are all flexible employment, non-employment planning to go to school, and waiting to be employed. It is no wonder that three of the four people in Liu Yongxue's dormitory chose to go to school.

"Then have you decided which company you want to go to in the future?" Someone asked the roommate who said that he was going to find a job directly after graduation.

"Of course it's Professor Zhou's company. I heard from seniors who were recruited after graduating this year that Professor Zhou's future biotechnology company has particularly good treatment.

However, it is more strict when recruiting people, and I don't know if I will be admitted by then. Said the roommate who was going to work directly after graduation.

There were four people in the dormitory, and each of them expressed their thoughts one after another.

When the School of Life Sciences announced the internship document notice of the Luzhou Institute of Life Sciences that day, Zhou Ming came to Bi Wanfang's office.

"You're here, sit down." Bi Wanfang didn't show any surprise when he saw Zhou Ming came to his office to find him. After all, Zhou Ming had already told him before coming here, and it was only when he learned that he was in the office now. will come.

Bi Wanfang didn't ask Zhou Ming why he came to see him, but stood up from his seat and poured Zhou Ming a cup of tea.

"How is the project progressing recently? I heard that you traveled around for two months during the summer vacation, and you didn't have much time to do experiments."

Bi Wanfang handed the water glass to Zhou Ming and said to him.

"The progress of the project is quite smooth, and I participated in some award ceremonies during the summer vacation."

Since most of the things he was busy with during the summer vacation were in the field of mathematics, Zhou Ming simply answered what Bi Wanfang said, without going into details.

Soon Zhou Ming explained his reason for coming, and he continued to say to Bi Wanfang: "Mr. Bi, I am here this time to contact Professor Chen Yanhong through you."

"Oh? Is it because of your partner's affairs?" When Bi Wanfang heard that Zhou Ming said that he came to her to contact his wife, the first thing Bi Wanfang thought of was Zhou Ming's girlfriend Shen Qingqiu. After all, Shen Qingqiu is Chen Yanhong. graduate students.

However, as for the specific matter, Bi Wanfang was a little confused.

According to what Bi Wanfang learned from Chen Yanhong, although Zhou Ming's girlfriend was not very smart, she was definitely a hard-working, diligent and obedient boy, not a troublemaker.

"Yeah." Zhou Ming nodded, and continued to say to Bi Wanfang, "I want to know if Professor Chen has decided on Qingqiu's thesis topic. If not, I happen to have a research here that I can recommend."

Hearing what Zhou Ming said, Bi Wan became interested. He looked at Zhou Ming and said to him: "Last year when your partner went to Jingu to participate in the summer camp of the School of Life Sciences of Nankai University, you didn't go. I remember you were still there. I had a pleasant chat with several professors in Nankai University, and I also learned about Yanhong's research direction.

You don’t seem to have studied the molecular mechanism of genome instability caused by abnormal regulation of nuclear membrane homeostasis, the molecular mechanism of senescence caused by abnormal homeostasis of endoplasmic reticulum organelles, and the pathogenic genes and their acting molecules of breast tumors and ovarian cancers. mechanism.

What aspect of this study do you recommend?If your research direction is different from Yanhong's, I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with. "

Bi Wanfang thought that what Zhou Ming wanted to recommend to Chen Yanhong, the research that Shen Qingqiu was asked to do was his previous research direction, and it was definitely not good for him to let Shen Qingqiu complete the experiment through remote guidance.

After all, if Chen Yanhong’s graduate student chooses a topic that is irrelevant to her research direction, wouldn’t that be a slap in her face?An insider would know what is going on as long as they understand the relationship between Shen Qingqiu and Zhou Ming.

There are things you can do, but you can't make it too obvious.

"Teacher Bi, don't worry, the research direction I recommend must be related to Professor Chen.

Besides, my research direction is not completely irrelevant to Professor Chen.

The molecular mechanism of aging caused by the abnormal homeostasis of endoplasmic reticulum organelles studied by Professor Chen was also involved in my research on the topic of aging. "

Seeing that Bi Wanfang misunderstood him, Zhou Ming quickly explained to Bi Wanfang.

As Zhou Ming's former mentor, Bi Wanfang naturally knew that what Zhou Ming said was slightly involved could not be compared with what ordinary people said was slightly involved, so he remained silent and waited for Zhou Ming to continue.

"The research direction I recommend is about the molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum proteins regulating the distribution of organelles." Zhou Ming told Bi Wanfang the research direction he was going to recommend for Shen Qingqiu's experiment.

"Do you have a way to study the molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum proteins regulating the distribution of organelles? Or is this research just a breakthrough in one of them?" Bi Wanfang was surprised when Zhou Ming mentioned this direction.

If someone else proposes to study this direction, then Bi Wanfang will definitely think that the other party is conducting research on one of them.

But when Zhou Ming proposed it, Bi Wanfang had a different idea.

The endoplasmic reticulum is an interconnected network of different morphologies, vesicles, vesicles, and tubes composed of a single membrane unit, and forms a continuous omentum system promiscuously extending throughout the cytoplasm, with Other organelles form abundant contacts.

In addition, dysregulation of endoplasmic reticulum morphology is also closely related to nervous system diseases and cancers. Therefore, research on the molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum proteins regulating the distribution of organelles is also very meaningful and valuable.

Although this is not a research on the molecular mechanism of aging caused by the abnormal homeostasis of endoplasmic reticulum organelles, if Zhou Ming can really decipher the molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum proteins regulating the distribution of organelles, then this is definitely a news broadcast The research results of this study can also be of great help to the research on the molecular mechanism of aging caused by the abnormal homeostasis of endoplasmic reticulum organelles.

Although it was Shen Qingqiu who did the experiment, the first author of the paper must also be Shen Qingqiu, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Ming to have the same experience as when he used the life simulator before.

But Chen Yanhong, as Shen Qingqiu's mentor, is also the corresponding author of Shen Qingqiu's experimental paper. Once Shen Qingqiu can really complete this experiment, then she will definitely benefit from it.

"It can't be said that the molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum proteins regulating the distribution of organelles has been thoroughly studied, but it must be more than a breakthrough. At least it will be no problem to write a few papers that can be published in "Nature."

Zhou Ming said to Bi Wanfang very casually, that is, he can be so casual about being published in "Nature". Even Bi Wanfang, who has already had some papers published in "Nature", cannot do To be so casual like Zhou Ming.

Hearing what Zhou Ming said, Bi Wanfang also smiled and said to Zhou Ming: "You can talk about "Nature" and "Science" so casually.

However, why do I feel that you are the same as the Doraemon, your brain is the four-dimensional space bag of the Doraemon, it is simply filled with everything, and you can have what you want.

Since you have replied me so affirmatively, then I must believe you too. I will call Yanhong in a while and talk to her about this matter.

At that time, I will directly give her your contact information. If she has any questions later, she will contact you directly. You can also contact her directly. You don't need to run to me anymore, let me be the middleman.

Not only you, Professor Zhou, are busy, but I am too! "

The reason why I didn't call Chen Yanhong right now is because today is Monday, a working day. Bi Wanfang was worried that Chen Yanhong was busy and he would disturb her by calling at this time, so he thought about calling again during lunch break. Call up.

Seeing that Bi Wanfang agreed so quickly, Zhou Ming said to him: "Then please trouble Mr. Bi. Since Mr. Bi is busy, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go first."

After speaking, Zhou Ming was about to leave Bi Wanfang's office.

"Hey, wait, I still have something to do here." Seeing that Zhou Ming was about to leave, Bi Wanfang quickly called him back, "You kid, you're going to pat your ass and leave after finishing your own affairs, right?
I still have something to talk to you about, and even if I have nothing to do, you can stay here and talk to me.

I remember when we first contacted, you recommended me to focus my research on neurons and computational neuroscience technologies, which you said were cutting-edge directions.

Computational neuroscience is indeed an emerging discipline, but it is also a super interdisciplinary emerging discipline, which almost synthesizes the results of many fields such as information science, physics, mathematics, biology, and cognitive psychology.

Now I have listened to your original suggestion and focused my research on such an interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary subject, but you have never done research in this area yourself. Are you telling me that you are not cheating?
What's more, so far, our exploration of the human brain has only stayed at the tip of the iceberg.

Computational neuroscience regards the brain as an information processing device, and uses comprehensive methods such as mathematics, physics and computers to study how the biological brain works, such as learning, memory, emotion, consciousness, etc.

How easy is it to study the brain, a part of which we only understand the tip of the iceberg? "

When he was talking about this, Bi Wanfang took a special look at Zhou Ming's facial expression, saw his surprised face, and then continued to say to him with satisfaction: "However, there is an opportunity now, we can cooperate.

At the beginning, you also talked with me about many things in this area. I know that you do have unique insights and rich knowledge reserves in computational neuroscience. ideas and knowledge. "

After hearing the end, Zhou Ming finally understood Bi Wanfang's purpose in saying these words.

Computational neuroscience is an emerging and cross-field interdisciplinary subject in brain science. It is a discipline that truly combines information science and modern neuroscience. At the same time, it is also a great challenge. played a key role in the development of machine interfaces.

It can be said that if the world does not have first-class computational neuroscience, it is impossible to have world-class brain-like intelligence technology innovation.

"I don't know how to cooperate?" Zhou Ming asked directly.

"It's very simple. Our college has applied to the higher education institutions through the school to build a national scientific research platform called the National Engineering Laboratory of Brain-Inspired Intelligence Technology and Application.

This application has been officially approved by the National Development and Reform Commission during this summer vacation, and our Huaguo University of Science and Technology will be responsible for the construction.

This is the only national-level scientific research platform in the field of brain-inspired intelligence in Huaguo so far. This laboratory is also an important construction content of Luzhou Comprehensive National Science Center.

I am also one of them. The cooperation I am talking about is to invite you to join this laboratory and conduct a research with me. "

Bi Wanfang explained to Zhou Ming that it seemed that Zhou Ming was responsible for this research.
