Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Yang Rui is also very interested in the conditions offered by Tobias.

300,000 US dollars is indeed not much, but it is all foreign exchange in US dollars.

Moreover, the money is not much for Yang Rui, not really not much.

Converted into RMB, how can it be used as one hundred and eight hundred thousand. Any one or several researchers in the ion channel laboratory can be half to death with excitement.

More importantly, the money released by Tobias on behalf of the US Department of Energy opened a brand new door for Yang Rui.

Nowadays, there are not many foreign laboratories that can get funds from Americans, and there are not many laboratories in Europe. As for funding, it is actually inertial.

In a sense, scholars looking for funding is like looking for a job. The first job is very difficult. You have to put out too many things to prove yourself, such as academic qualifications, grades, awards, and certificates. ...

However, when the first job is obtained, if you want to find a second job, you don't need all kinds of boring preliminary proofs, just prove your achievements in the first job.

For proud Americans in the 1980s, the academic qualifications, experience, and academic ability of an Asian were not important. Instead, it was an injection of American funds that would make people wonder why.

If there are corresponding results, it will be much easier to get a second dollar funding.

Including the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Foundation, or private donor organizations, will treat Yang Rui, who has received US funding, as an ordinary and normal candidate, rather than an Asian scholar who doesn’t know what’s going on.

In the academic field, this situation is very common.

For example, scholars with experience of studying in the United States, even after returning to China, particularly like to apply for funds from the United States or to cooperate with American scholars.

On the one hand, compared with domestic academic funding, the amount of funding in the United States is large and sufficient. On the other hand, the funding procedures in the United States are less clear. However, with such tempting funding, why are scholars with experience studying in the United States Just apply? Why are there so few applications from local Chinese scholars? Is it possible that the level of native Chinese scholars must be lower than those returned from studying in the United States?

Statistically speaking, this is naturally impossible.

The correct reason is the inertia of funding.

For an American institution, giving money to a newcomer obviously has major risks. They are more willing to give money to those they are familiar with, or at least scholars familiar with other American institutions.

This is the same as banks like to give loans to people who have repaid loans.

Those who have applied for funding in the United States are just as easy to apply for funding if they return to China or go to Africa.

If you haven't applied before, just go through it slowly. There is nothing special about the application form. It may not even pass the basic screening.

Some people will shout, everyone has the first time, you don't give me a chance-ha ha.

For Yang Rui, taking money from the Americans for the first time, $300,000 in free funds is much more meaningful than $5 million in investment funds.

And the money he used in the ion channel laboratory was more valuable than using it himself.

High-end laboratories are raised with huge amounts of funds. With Yang Rui's current conditions, it is very simple if he wants to work in high-end laboratories, including those of Nobel Prize winners such as Dalbecco. To meet Yang Rui's scientific research needs, the conditions will be amazing.

Many scientists are willing to conduct pure research in the laboratory without worrying about it. The Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge often has two or even three Nobel Prize winners.

However, if you want complete scientific research freedom and complete scientific research results, you must own a high-end laboratory and a large amount of open source.

It is unrealistic to rely on one's own money to raise the ion channel laboratory, and Peking University may not accept it either. However, it is not realistic to raise Peking University by itself. Even if Yang Rui is nominated for the Nobel Prize, he cannot afford a world-class biological basic laboratory under the domestic conditions in the 1980s.

From a national perspective, whether it is investing in electricity or in pork, it is more useful than investing in basic biological research.

Absorbing funds from around the world is an essential attribute of a top laboratory.

Of course, Yang Rui also wants to highlight the value of this money, so as to get the second and third money...

The investment-return model is the most ideal, but there are not many laboratories that can really do it.

It's normal to spend money and not get results.

Can you pay for results? God still answers everything.

For Yang Rui, it is relatively simple to produce results, but it is not inevitable. Fortunately, Tobias was more anxious than him, and he didn't know which department passed. It only took two days to transfer the funds.

Yang Rui immediately notified everyone in the ion channel laboratory of Peking University to hold a conference call.

It was called a conference call, that is, the hands-free operation of long-distance calls. Xu Zhengping heard that there was a funding of 300,000 US dollars. Naturally, it was not positive. A group of people were crowded in the conference room.

"I'm going to distribute the money equally." Yang Rui's first sentence stopped the few people who were gearing up.

Without waiting for a voice on the other side of the phone, Yang Rui continued: “Although the 300,000 US dollars are free funds, I still decided to put all of them in the public laboratory. The Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory will receive 250,000 US dollars. The other 50,000 US dollars will be paid. Give it to the West Fort Middle School laboratory."

At this moment, the researchers who were still struggling for equal distribution suddenly complained, and there was a chaotic sound and electric noise on the phone.

"What is the need for investment in middle school laboratories."

"It's a waste of $50,000 to use a middle school laboratory."

"Does anyone do experiments in the middle school laboratory?"

Yang Rui knocked on the microphone vigorously and said: "The Xibao Middle School laboratory will cooperate with the Pharmaceutical Technology Development Zone. In the future, you will also need to be dispatched to the Pharmaceutical Technology Development Zone. At that time, the conditions in the laboratory will even be the verification experiment. What if I can’t do it?"

Although Huarui Pharmaceutical is the only pharmaceutical company currently recruited by the Hedong Medical Technology Development Zone, in terms of establishment and nature, the Hedong Medical Technology Development Zone is still a public entity. Very suitable. Asking a professor from Peking University to help, there is no problem.

The researchers in the ion channel laboratory stopped calling.

Xu Zhengping concluded: "If it is really useful, a $50,000 device update is not expensive."

"Let's talk about the remaining 250,000 US dollars." Fan Zhenlong's words immediately received everyone's approval.

Yang Rui coughed and said: "US$250,000, I plan to allocate US$180,000 first, US$60,000 for the interacting protein component, US$60,000 for the G protein component, and US$60,000 for the cloned component."

"The clone group also has 60,000?" Su Fan, who is in charge of this project, called out in surprise.

In the ion channel laboratory, Yang Rui's project is naturally the largest. However, he did not do long-term projects. Often, one project was completed and then another project was completed. Below Yang Rui, Xu Zhengping’s interacting protein group and Su Xiankai’s G protein group are secondary long-term projects.

In contrast, Su Fan's clone group had the least resources, and was once cancelled.

Even now, the cloning group is the internal name of the ion channel laboratory and has not been given a special project name. Su Fan, who is in charge of this project, has never thought about being equal to the mutual protein group.

Yang Rui knows the social effects of the cloning project, so he is willing to invest.

Unlike PCR, it doesn't matter what cloning is, it is a very complicated and delicate experiment. Without long-term investment, no effect can be seen. If Yang Rui wants to get the social effect of cloning, he has to prepare in advance.

He affirmed: "The cloning team wants to speed up the progress, and I have no requirements for you. You just need to report to me on schedule."

Su Fan kept responding.

Jiao Yangping, Tian Bing and others eagerly looked at Su Fan and applied for a speech: "Where is the remaining 70,000 US dollars?"

"The reserve fund is for genomics. Anyone of you who has a good project can apply. You can take away a part of it, or you can take away all of it." Genomics is a very large area, and there is a wide range of research available, Yang Rui The scale of the ion channel laboratory in China is gradually expanding, and everyone has to find a project to apply for it.

For senior researchers, finding a project or something is the easiest thing, and no one opposes it.

"Is there any time request?" Xu Zhengping asked more.

Yang Rui smiled happily and said: "If the next batch of funds is in place, it will definitely not be evenly distributed, so... everyone arranges their own time."

Hanging up the phone, Yang Rui could imagine the tangled expressions of everyone in the laboratory.

It’s a good thing to spend the Spring Festival~www.NovelMTL.com~ After doing research, don't think about it.

Scientific research has always been globally competitive. If you spend 15 days at home during the Spring Festival, Americans will not extend the Christmas holiday because of this. Those who have thought about the Spring Festival, those who have thought about Songkran, and those who have thought about Eid al-Adha, can enter the time. In an industry where the competition is not so fierce, or as a writer who is dragging a manuscript, technology and patents, if the manuscript is dragged to someone else to make it, then the previous work will be useless.

Yang Rui himself is not planning to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Before the Spring Festival, he sorted out the laboratories of WestJet Factory and West Castle Town Middle School, and began to prepare for the update of PCR technology. After the New Year’s Eve, it would be difficult to find workers or equipment vendors to help. Up.

Fortunately, the Hedong Provincial Government attaches great importance to Yang Rui’s work. The cadre in charge heard that Yang Rui intends to reorganize the laboratory and immediately transferred a professional moving team from Pingjiang. Although the workers of pure state-owned enterprises are a bit lazy, The work here is still very good. Under the command of Yang Rui, a group of people moved out the machines that were originally intended to be used in the drug delivery plant, and temporarily installed them in the experiment at Xibao Middle School, and then waited for Yang Rui to use them up before dismantling them. .

As a result, the laboratory has won the honor of provincial key project, and it was upgraded earlier than Xibao Middle School.
