I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Even though Qiao Yu was used to strong winds and waves, her heartbeat started to speed up at this moment.

He kept a smile on his face: "Professor Holman, what do you mean...?"

Holman rolled up the spaghetti with a fork: "I think my laboratory is very good. As long as the experiment is successful in the end, it is likely to win the Nobel Prize."

Of course, in the various laboratories of the Cold Spring Harbor Research Center, in terms of the subject alone, as long as they succeed, there is a high probability that they can win the Nobel Prize.

Some topics are too forward-looking, and the head of the laboratory has changed for three generations, and they have not yet been researched.Changing to another university has long since given up, so I can still enjoy it here and try to open up new boundaries.

Qiao Yu: "..."

For some reason, he felt a little lost.

The system reassured him and said, "Host, don't worry. Wait another ten years, and the Nobel Prize will definitely be yours."

Because of Qiao Yu's achievements, millions of patients with blood diseases have seen hope since then.

In ancient times, this was to be erected in a shrine.

The main reason is that it needs to be observed for a period of time to avoid embarrassing things like prefrontal lobotomy.

Artemisinin, which treats malaria, was invented in the 70s, and it didn’t take until 2015 to win the Nobel Prize.

Qiao Yu quickly calmed down: "What field of research are you currently engaged in?"

"You know, I'm a neuroscientist, and the subject of our lab is 'how the human brain constructs a spatial map and navigates autonomously'..."

As soon as he mentioned his research field, Holman became excited.

Before he came to Cold Spring Harbor, he was the first director of the Memory of the World Biological Research Center.

"This achievement is helpful for artificial intelligence neuromorphism. Our laboratory has received sponsorship from Intel Corporation. If we can break through this topic, we may be able to develop a new super algorithm in the future..."

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment: "Professor, this doesn't seem to match my major."

"Is it correct?" Holman patted Qiao Yu's shoulder vigorously, his tone full of confusion, "Anyway, the laboratory is the same thing. How long have you been studying biology? There is still time to change the research direction, the laboratory needs you!"

Today, there are 11 research institutes in Cold Spring Harbor.

Under the name of each institute, there are two to five laboratories.

320 scientific researchers, evenly divided into each laboratory, are not enough to make up ten heads.

Therefore, every newcomer is very precious.

The only regret is that the people who came to study didn't join Cold Spring Harbor, so everyone only lived for two years.

"Holman! You scab!"

Just when Holman had a one-sided conversation with Qiao Yu, a shrill voice came from behind.

Holding the meal card in his hand, Martin was about to burst into tears: "Didn't you agree to do it three days later? Why don't you obey the rules!"

Martin Evans.British.

In 2007, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his amazing discoveries in the field of mammalian DNA recombination.

It can be said that his discovery laid the foundation for the current "gene targeting" technology.

Qiao Yu's textbook has his name on it, and it has appeared more than once.

Even when he went to Dr. Sheng's class and talked about the development history of genetic organisms, he never avoided this name.

Holman inserted the white napkin on the fork, and then slowly lifted it up: "I'm wronged. Am I that kind of person? Joe and I just happened to meet in the restaurant and chatted casually for a while."

"Will we talk about 'neuromorphic computing' and 'the end of Moore's Law'? Do you think I don't usually read "Science"?" Professor Martin couldn't help but frown.

Qiao Yu had no choice but to stand up and show his respect: "Hello, Sir Evans. When I was researching the field of stem cells, I had the honor to read your paper..."

After winning the Nobel Prize, Martin Evans was honored by the Queen of England.

"Good boy." Martin patted the back of his hand with his backhand. "I've read your paper too. Your name is included in my nomination list this year."

Qiao Yu was flattered: "Thank you very much."

Martin glanced at Holman and snorted coldly: "I'm not as shameless as Holman. My laboratory is now biased towards basic biological theory research. The research direction is telomere proteome. Due to the confidentiality agreement, I can't Explain in detail the direction of my experiment. But I guarantee that you will not regret coming to our genetic genetics laboratory."

Hoffman beeped on the side in a low voice: "Martin won the Nobel Prize in 07, and it has been 15 years now...I have it for 13 years!"

The Nobel Prize has always been the vane of various research institutes in the field of biology.

Moreover, apart from computers, there may not be any basic discipline that will be updated so quickly like biology.

Sometimes, it may just be that an instrument can't keep up, and it turns from a hot field to an outdated research.

Professor Martin was furious: "Then why didn't you say that you had three winners in that year, and I was the only one in 07!"

Holman: "British, don't be so rude, you've lost your wig."

Qiao Yu was holding a rice noodle bowl, away from the center of the quarrel.

He asked the system in a low voice: "At this time, shouldn't I say 'Don't fight for me anymore'?"

System: "It doesn't matter, according to the calculations of the system, even without you. The probability of them quarreling after meeting is more than 80.00% five."

However, just as he was holding a bowl of Suofen, someone patted his shoulder lightly again.

Qiao Yu turned around and saw that Professor Wilson had a gentle and harmless smile: "Joe, are the chefs here still satisfied?"

Qiao Yu: "Very good, the taste is good."

The rice noodle soup base is a bone-bone soup base, served with hot and sour pickled vegetables, and the milky white soup is covered with a layer of soft mutton, which is nutritious and healthy.

"Don't be too nervous, they have been bored for too long. And every three years, there is a round of recruitment, ten new recruits each time... This leads to a research institute that can't recruit people. If you can't recruit people, there will be no There is no way to hold a welcome meeting, if there is no welcome meeting, there will be one less event throughout the year."

Wilson coughed: "By the way, I wonder if you are interested in virology?"

Speaking of which, Professor Wilson is also the deputy director of the Cold Spring Harbor Institute of Virology.

……

……

After a few days, Qiao Yu was completely numb.

In just a few days, his mood probably went through the changes of "Damn it, the Nobel laureate", "The Nobel laureate spoke to me", and "The one who walked past just now seems to be the Nobel laureate".

The entire Cold Spring Harbor currently has only 7 Nobel Prize winners, among them, JD Watson, the father of DNA, no longer participates in scientific research tasks because of old age and frailty.

Compared with the outside world, no matter how good the treatment in Cold Spring Harbor is, it is still somewhat deserted.

This kind of solitude is not the solitude of no one, but the kind of solitude in which it is impossible to tell that this is the most prestigious scientific research center in the world from the outside.

Day after day of experiments, no flowers and no applause.

Even though New York, the most prosperous city in the world, is a hundred miles away, the research center located in a corner of Long Island seems isolated from the world.

Cold Spring Harbor welcomes scholars from all over the world, children who come to study and visit, and investors who are stupid and rich; but they do not welcome politicians, tourists, and journalists, so they maintain their independence and purity.

Here, Qiao Yu felt exactly a sentence: "Science has no borders."

The professors have different nationalities, skin colors, living habits, and accents, but they also do their best when preaching, accepting karma, and solving doubts.

He is like a sponge, trying to absorb knowledge and experience.Travel between various Nobel Prize-winning laboratories, communicate and learn with top scholars in the industry.

If you say, before coming here, Qiao Yu still hesitated; but after coming, he admitted that he likes this place very much.

Qiao Yu went to the countryside and registered several social software, dug out all the business cards he received in the past, and added friends one by one.

Yu Hanxi sent a congratulatory message: Are you still that Qiao Yu who can't even use WeChat?

Before Yu Hanxi sent Qiao Yu a message on WeChat, but he didn't get a reply for three days, so he had no choice but to make a transoceanic phone call.

Because Qiao Yu said frankly that "I don't read WeChat very much", Yu Hanxi has hated her to this day.

Yu Hanxi: I heard you went to Cold Spring Harbor?

Qiao Yu: Yes.

Yu Hanxi: Then it's best not to say that you know me.

Qiao Yu:?

Yu Hanxi: Cold Spring Harbor invited me back then, but I didn't go.So they invited an associate professor from Harvard who was in the same field as me.

Yu Hanxi: Maybe they wanted to prove that it was my loss that I didn't go to Cold Spring Harbor. They asked that associate professor to publish a lot of papers.

Qiao Yu: ...and then?

Yu Hanxi raised his legs: It's not as good as mine.

Yu Hanxi's words were a little embarrassing.

He has not been sacked until now, firstly because he looks good; secondly because his academic achievements are indeed beyond the reach of his peers.

Yu Hanxi added: "Of course, it's not Cold Spring Harbor's fault. It's mainly because that person's mud can't support the wall."

Qiao Yu spent a week here.

On the last day of the first week, Cold Spring Harbor CEO Bruce Stillman, who had invited him over, gave a speech at the admission welcome party.

No reporters, no cameras.

Bruce will give such a speech every three years; the researchers at Cold Spring Harbor will also listen to it every three years.

Some people were students studying here three years ago, and they have become full-time employees three years later.

Bruce said frankly in a suit and leather shoes, "No matter how many times I repeat it, I still have to say it."

"The seniors in front of you, they may have been the director of a certain center; the winner of a certain Nobel Prize; or a professor at the same school... You have seen him on the news, you have seen him in textbooks , or have studied his thesis."

"You can remain in awe of them, but remember that the goal of you young people is not to live forever in the light of these people, but to overcome, to surpass them - to surpass us. Use all your strength, from We draw nutrients from ourselves, and we are willing to be the cornerstone."

Bruce looked at the young people in the first row.

In any other meeting, the person sitting in the front is always a leader or a highly respected senior.

But here, no.

Although Holman once said frankly that this is because many old scientists listened to the leader's speech and began to fall asleep after listening to it... The staff in charge of the venue layout had no choice but to make a bad move.

But Cold Spring Harbor was always different.

Bruce said in a deep voice: "This is one of the meanings that Cold Spring Laboratory has continued to this day."
