They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 132: Falling out is faster than turning the book (second update)

The news that Hwang Woo-suk's paper was suspected of being fraudulent immediately spread to the University of California, Berkeley.

A scholar who came to give a lecture was exposed on the spot as having falsified his paper. This was a first for Berkeley, and it immediately ranked first on Berkeley's hot search list.

There are many cases of paper fraud happening every year, but most of the paper fraud is at the level of plagiarism.

In an era when information technology is underdeveloped, there are many ordinary graduate students whose thesis plagiarism check rate exceeds 30%. Although different schools, journals and institutions have different requirements for plagiarism check rates, if the plagiarism check rate exceeds 30%, it is basically considered plagiarism.

But it is really rare for people like Huang Yuxi to make some fake pictures and send them to papers. What's more, the place where Huang Yuxi published his paper was "Science", one of the three major journals in the world!
Those who can publish papers in "Science" are all high-level first-class scholars. Scholars of this level have made Nobel Prize-level results, but they falsified their papers and openly published them in "Science". This is indeed science. One of the wonders of the world.

Most people have been scholars all their lives and have never seen such a thing or eaten such a big melon. How can it not be a hot topic discussed after dinner?
It is estimated that for scholars, whoever is elected president of the United States this year will not be as popular as the Hwang Woo-suk fraud incident!
……

In the Department of Life Sciences, Professor Doudna stayed in the laboratory for more than ten hours before dragging his tired body out.

In the corridor, Professor Dodna greeted the colleagues passing by. However, she found that the expressions of her colleagues looking at her seemed a little strange. Some colleagues even hurried away and took a detour when seeing her, as if they were seeing the god of plague. gone.

"What's going on?" Professor Doudna also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Jennifer, I heard that you are quite familiar with Professor Huang Yuxi from Seoul University in South Korea?" the department head asked.

Professor Doudna looked puzzled. He put down the cup in his hand and went straight to the department chair's office.

It was incredible for a scholar of Hwang Woo-suk's level to falsify his papers.

When Dodner came to the lounge, he had just made himself a cup of coffee. Before he could drink it, a colleague knocked on the door and walked in: "Jennifer, the department chair wants you to go to his office!"

Doudna nodded suddenly. In this case, Huang Yuxi must have falsified his thesis.

"Is the evidence conclusive?" Daodena asked weakly.

"Have you heard about Huang Yuxi coming to Berkeley to give a speech?" the department chair continued.

So she immediately said: "Professor Huang and I are not very familiar. We just met a few times when we attended academic seminars before."

"The dean of the department is looking for me? Do you know what's going on?" Professor Doudna asked.

"Professor, you are looking for me!" Doudna said, looking at the department chair and found that the other person's expression was very serious.

"I know about this, but I didn't go to listen to his speech. I still have an experiment on hand that I haven't finished yet. I've been staying in the laboratory for the past ten hours."

"This Huang Yuxi and I have only met a few times, and we are not familiar with each other at all! I also deeply hate academic fraud. Professor, don't worry, I will never have any contact with this kind of liar again!" Doudna did not hesitate to disassociate himself from the incident.

Daodena observes words and emotions, and judging from the tone of the department chair, it is not a good thing.

Speeches are somewhat of a science-popular nature, and it would be meaningless for Doudna to listen to them. If it were a more academically in-depth exchange meeting, perhaps Dodna would attend.

"Confirmed! It is said that the dozen embryonic stem cell photos shown in Huang Yuxi's paper use the same cells. The results of computer analysis, and the person who gave this analysis result was our computer department at Berkeley!"

"As expected, you still don't know that Huang Yuxi's paper on cloning human embryonic stem cells published in Science is suspected of fraud!" the department head said.

"Fake paper!" Morna's eyes widened immediately. She certainly knew what it meant to falsify a paper in Science.

The department chair continued: "We at the University of California, Berkeley, have always had zero tolerance for academic fraud. After hearing about Huang Yuxi, I was also very worried that you would be involved."

While observing the words and expressions, Doudna asked: "Professor, is there something wrong with Huang Yuxi's speech?"

Doudna's research direction is genome editing methods. She also has a relatively deep understanding of embryonic stem cells and cloning technology, so there is no need to listen to Huang Yuxi's speech.

"Well, we'll find out when you get there." The colleague remained silent and didn't want to talk more.

"That son of Huang Yuxi, is he an exchange student at Berkeley? I heard that he has courses in our department, and you have taken him into the laboratory?"

"I didn't know that Huang Yuxi was a liar at the time, so I was deceived by him! After I returned, I immediately canceled Huang Yuxi's son's course. I guarantee that his name will no longer be on the list of the Department of Life Sciences!"

As expected of real Americans, they can fall out of favor faster than turning the pages of a book.

……

At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, several researchers were gathering together, and one of them was telling a story vividly.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Lin, a female employee, also came over. When she got closer and listened carefully, she realized that they were talking about Huang Yuxi's falsified thesis.

"I thought yesterday was just an ordinary speech, but I didn't expect it to be a drama with ups and downs! It's such a pity that you missed it!" The person who spoke was obviously one of the audience.

"I heard that someone exposed the fraud of a well-known biology professor's paper on the spot. Please tell us what happened yesterday?" someone asked with interest.

"At the beginning, it was indeed an ordinary speech. During the question and answer session after the speech, someone suddenly questioned that the paper published by the speaker, Professor Huang, in "Science" was suspected of being fraudulent! It was said that eleven stem cells in it were The photos are actually from the same stem cells!

Professor Huang certainly couldn't admit it, and then retorted that the person who raised the question was just a college student. With the academic level of a college student, he didn't understand such a world-class paper at all. It was a waste of time to explain to him! It was at this time that things took a turn! "

The man paused deliberately, arousing the curiosity of the people around him. Someone immediately asked: "Go on, what's the reversal?"

"The college student who questioned Professor Huang's paper forgery also published a paper in the journal Science, and it was in the same issue as Professor Huang! Is he also a famous scholar?"

"What? College students publish papers in "Science", are you not wrong! Those of us with doctorate degrees may not be able to publish papers in "Science"!" "Can I still lie to you? In the beginning I didn’t believe it either. Then I checked it out, and the author’s name and school matched! Then I checked again, and guess what? This great scholar actually came to Berkeley as an exchange student!”

"You're still an exchange student? Which school are you from? Are you so awesome?" someone asked next to him.

"He's Chinese. What's his name? Let me think about it. His name seems to be Zhang Wei. He's from Tsinghua University."

"Qingda University, Zhang Wei?" The woman next to her was shocked!
The exchange student Qing called Zhang Wei was the one he knew!

"How is it possible! He can actually publish a paper in Science?"

Nvrun couldn't believe it at all. Instead of listening to her colleague's follow-up story, she ran to the computer and looked up the paper index.

Soon, he found Zhang Wei's name on the index.

Although there are many scholars named Zhang Wei, he is the only one who can publish papers in Science, so Nurun people can easily find Zhang Wei and his papers.

"The electric field effect of atomically thin carbon films? It's graphene! He is the one who discovered graphene!"

Nvrunren suddenly looked stunned. Her eyes widened and she stared at the information displayed on the computer screen in disbelief. The turmoil in her heart could not subside for a long time.

At this moment, all words seemed so pale and unable to describe the shock and awe in her heart. The figure she once thought was familiar actually contained such unfathomable strength, which was completely beyond her imagination.

Nurunren finally understood. No wonder Zhang Wei didn't pay attention to the paper on desorption electrospray ionization technology. It turned out that someone had published an article in "Science" and it turned out that someone had successfully made graphene!
Compared with graphene, the improvements in desorption electrospray ionization technology are nothing!
Thinking that she had persuaded Zhang Wei to come to the United States for development, Nurunren finally realized how ridiculous she was!

The two of them are not on the same level at all! Female Runners think that it is awesome to come to the United States to develop their careers, but little do they know that in the eyes of others, their superior mentality is just a clown!

"Maybe in his eyes, only those who can't survive in China will come to the United States!"

……

At the same time, laboratory director Zhu Diwen also learned the ins and outs of the matter.

"Huang Yuxi's paper is suspected of fraud! So the results of cloning human embryonic stem cells are probably fake!"

After a brief surprise, Steven Chu frowned.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as the world's top laboratory, naturally also conducts research on cloning human embryonic stem cells. If Hwang Woo-suk's research results are false, then the related research can be stopped directly and started from scratch.

"The person who exposed the falsification of Huang Yuxi's paper was an exchange student who came to Berkeley? His name is Zhang Wei? I seem to have an impression of him. He is from Tsinghua University, right? When he came to visit the laboratory before, he also mentioned technological improvements. Desorption electrospray ionization Technology has come up with improvements!”

Steven Chu’s parents both graduated from Tsinghua University, so Steven Chu still remembers this exchange student from Tsinghua University.

"What? This Zhang Wei also published an article in Science? Is he the one who made graphene?"

Steven Chu took a breath of air.

"He has made such an important achievement as graphene at such a young age. No matter how many times he ranks for the Nobel Prize, he will still get his turn!"

The next second, an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on Steven Chu's face.

"What a shame! I actually want a Nobel Prize-winning scholar to improve the desorption electrospray ionization technology!"

……

Huang Junji was stopped at the door of the laboratory of the Department of Life Sciences.

"Huang, Professor Doudna is not in the laboratory. She has just done more than ten hours of experiments and has gone home to rest. If you want to find her, you can call her mobile phone."

"I called, but she didn't answer!" Huang Junji continued: "Can you tell me Professor Dodner's address? I want to visit him!"

"I don't know the professor's address either." The other party shook his head.

"Is Dr. Williams here? Or Dr. Robbins?" Huang Junji reported two more names he recognized.

"Even if they are all here, they won't see you!" The other party sighed helplessly: "Huang, don't you understand? You were able to travel here unimpeded before, just for your father's sake.

But now, your father is suspected of falsifying papers. Don’t you know how serious this is for a scholar? It’s too late for everyone to hide from you! How could I meet you again! "

The man said, pointing to the door of the laboratory, and continued: "I'm afraid you will never be able to enter this door!"

After hearing these words, Huang Junji stood there feeling lost.

He came to the Department of Life Sciences to find Professor Dodna to find a way to help his father get out of trouble.

Huang Junji naively thought that Professor Dodna had a deep friendship with his father, and Professor Dodna also admired him very much. Now that something happened to his father, Professor Dodna would definitely help.

But he didn't expect that the changing world would teach him a lesson!
The reason why Professor Dodna wanted to meet Huang Junji was entirely because of his father's aura. Now that his father has become cold, who will pay attention to him!

"Zhang Wei, everything is caused by Zhang Wei!"

Huang Junji clenched his fists fiercely, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision!
The next second, he rushed towards the exchange student's dormitory...
