Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Identifying a new species is not an easy task. You must first check whether there are any recurrences of predecessors. This alone can be exhausting in the age of computers or not. network

If you open the book of plant taxonomy, there are a lot of "synonyms" behind a large number of animals and plants, with three or five synonymous names, or even more kinds of animals and plants. , And the meaning of "synonym" can basically be said to mean "dwarf oil, admit it wrong".

Even if taxonomists are serious, given that there are so many species on the earth, it is still inevitable to have a synonym. In order not to become a member of the synonym group, Professor Xie has to work harder.

However, there are electron microscopes in the ion channel laboratory for use, and scientific research dogs in the ion channel laboratory are available to drive, Professor Xie is very willing to help.

It is not easy to use the new electron microscope.

Unlike Yang Rui, who spends millions of dollars in purchasing equipment, although Professor Xie is also a professor at Peking University, his annual funding is only less than 10,000 yuan.

This is actually the normal mode of allocation of funds. Those who do plant taxonomy can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year, which is quite a lot.

Naturally, the money did not allow Professor Xie to buy equipment. If he needed the equipment, he went to the public laboratory. A large part of the funds was also transferred to the public laboratory to buy equipment for everyone. .

This is naturally uncomfortable, but it is also impossible.

When Yang Rui’s ion channel laboratory was first established the year before last, it was still in the mode of accumulating one instrument per instrument. No one had expected that he was accumulating so quickly, every one or two months. Let his laboratory have become the top domestic biology laboratory.

There are many better than his laboratory, but it is impossible to say that it is more comprehensive. After all, the instruments in Yang Rui's laboratory are all newly purchased.

As a researcher, the ownership of the instrument is certainly a good concept, but it is also very happy to be able to use it occasionally. It's like a dutiful son going to Disneyland to play. Of course he wants Disneyland to be his own home. However, he doesn't work hard when he reborn. It will be useless to urge him the day after tomorrow. However, even if he queues up to play amusement equipment, it is still very happy to.

In addition, Professor Xie also learned about the use of pcR from Yang Rui-letting the people of pcR teach the use of pcR in person, this kind of opportunity is naturally not common.

Therefore, when the paper on the new species of "Zhang Fei Lan Tingtou" was published, Professor Xie, who was in charge of the writing, surrendered the first author to Yang Rui cleanly.

Yang Rui accepted it without hesitation. Although the folks are very interested in the development of new species, from an academic point of view, a paper on a new species is very common. If a new taxa is identified, it would be a bit powerful, only a new species of the genus Cyanaceae. It can only be expressed in Chinese journals and enjoyable. Professor Xie used the appraisal work to exchange Yang Rui's pcR teaching, which can be regarded as a fair deal.

On the other hand, with Yang Rui's reputation in the biological world, his Chinese paper on a new species is a green light all the way.

It usually takes two to three months, or even four to five months to review the manuscript, as long as nine dollars is not required, as long as ** days, it will be reviewed.

Needless to say, the editor of the Journal of Plant Taxonomy must have not abided by the two-way anonymity standard, and revealed the identity of Yang Rui to the reviewers.

At home, or in other words, on a global scale, this is unavoidable, especially when it comes to essays by big shots, it is a story of joy and sadness.

If we strictly abide by the standard of two-way anonymity, who knows that the scholars in charge of reviewing manuscripts will reject the manuscript with a thought? Maybe he will write a fierce comment.

Scholars like Yang Rui are already at the top level in Chinese biology. Nets is a member of the gmp committee, and he has a good record. His reputation is almost broken. Coupled with the management rights of two laboratories under his name, it can be said that his move is completely possible. Change the direction of Chinese biology.

If such a scholar is rejected by a Chinese journal, what will be the result?

If the reasons for rejection of Chinese journals are abundant, it goes without saying that both journals and rejectors can have a great reputation. However, as far as the quality of Chinese journals is concerned, they want to find someone who can be equivalent to Yang Rui. Biologists are unlikely to review a manuscript, so what qualifications do they have to reject?

It's as if Dulbecco's manuscript was submitted to a general American journal ~www.readwn.com~ and the manuscript was rejected by an unknown professor at the University of Colorado.

There will be a sensational effect in academia, but it is definitely not what the journal press wants.

From the perspective of the journal, the more prestigious top scholars’ papers are the better, and the high prestigious top scholars’ papers are not irresistible. However, if they reject the manuscript, they hope that the reviewers should know that they are Do something.

If you encounter the kind of cheating that the reviewer happens to be too busy or too lazy, and turns the reviewer to the students under his hand to do--this kind of cheating is common--then the rejection incident is interesting. It is equivalent to saying that the top scholar's paper was rejected by the dog. Even if Christmas is not well, the dog has no reason to be so happy.

It is also because the journals, reviewers and even the authors of the paper have various concerns. The standard of two-way anonymity has always been the patent of ordinary scholars in academia.

Yang Rui may not have privileges in the world's top journals, but occasionally set foot in the botanical world, it is natural to get privileges.

Within a few days of work, social media actually reported "Zhang Feilan Sting Head".

So, recently, the media that has been trying to interview Yang Rui and ask about him and the Nobel Prize suddenly realized, good fellow, no wonder Yang Rui can't be found. This guy has gone out into the field.

If you say that you ran into the wild, you ran into the wild as you ran away from the media. Ordinary people rarely see it, and do media reporters see it rarely?

However, if normal people run off the road, no new species will appear even if they think about it.

Moreover, gave the new species the name "Zhang Fei"?

Are you trying to hide from the media? Or seduce the media to interview?

The reporters were plunged into deep thinking.
