Global monopoly of technology

Early December.

Yang Ning quit her job at Qinghua University and headed south to Sioux City with a letter of recommendation. She rejected it altogether, but now she resigns altogether. She is a young scholar with unusual talents, domestic and foreign. Top universities or scientific research institutions are all rushing for talent.

This morning, Luo Sheng was doing daily fitness training in the fitness room.

Xiaona's voice suddenly came: "Master, a scientist who claims to be introduced by Professor Shi Yigong is visiting. She calls herself Yang Ning."

Luo Sheng, who was doing stretching exercises, stopped when he heard it, his eyes filled with surprise.

Yang Ning?

Shi Yigong recommended?

Luo Sheng quickly searched for an autograph letter written to Shi Yigong a few days ago in his memory. After a little thought, he probably guessed who the man named Yang Ning is sacred, and he couldn't help but think of it. The memory of I.

Although not in the same field, Luo Sheng also heard about this female scientist, mainly because of her young talents, and her life like an "open hanging", so she heard about it.

Since 2009, Yang Ning has published more than ten scientific research papers as the corresponding author in the three major journals of Nature, Science, and Cell, which are referred to as CNS in the industry. In 2009, it became the Top Ten Progress Citations of Science.

Under the age of 30, she became the youngest professor and doctoral supervisor of Qinghua University. At the age of 37, she used a team with an average age of less than 30 to overcome the scientific problems that plagued half of the world in the field of membrane protein in 6 months. It is the most eye-catching scientific problem in the industry and the most intense international competition.

Later, he won the "Young Scientist Award" and "Seckler International Biophysics Award" by the International Protein Society. Because of his outstanding contribution to protein structure, he was selected as the "China Science Star" by the journal Nature.

Luo Sheng immediately contacted the housekeeper to entertain the people first. He also quickly left the fitness room, took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to meet with each other.

...

Reception room.

Luo Sheng saw Yang Ning smile and said with a rather relaxed tone: "Wow, you are the most beautiful female scientist I have ever seen. You don't have to call Yang Ning, but Yan is worth it. It's really subverting my attitude towards women. The imagination of a scientist."

Yang Ning is a typical young scientific tyrant, and her academic career is almost open, but she is actually not a scientist who is completely deaf to the outside world and is devoted to getting into the molecule.On the contrary, she is an intellectual woman who is fashionable in her dress.

Luo Sheng just sat down opposite Yang Ning. Unexpectedly, at the opening of this simple sentence, she directly counterattacked her: "Please don't call me a'female scientist'. A scientist is a scientist. Why do I have to add a'female' in front of me? 'What about the word? This is called discrimination!"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but froze for a while. After reacting, he smiled and said: "I didn't mean that, but I apologize to you. It's just that female scientists are too rare in the mainland, and you have made great achievements like you. Is even rarer."

Luo Sheng did not have any grudges because of Yang Ning’s uprightness. On the contrary, he admired her temperament. This made him think of the science fiction master Isaac Asimov in the "Galaxy" A sentence described in "Empire":

[Why scientists are basically nine-rate administrative staff?Perhaps it's just because they are used to dealing with natural phenomena with less flexibility, and don't know how to deal with fickle hearts.

Although it was the first time to meet, Luo Sheng’s self-cultivation and respect for scientific undertakings made Yang Ning a lot of goodwill towards this young rich man who was 8 years younger than him. After a while, he couldn’t help but say, “I participated last year. The Swedish Structural Biology Annual Conference gave me a great touch. In Sweden, the proportion of female scientist speakers turned out to be 50%, while in the Mainland, including the United States and other countries, the proportion of female scientists is pitiful."

Speaking of this, Yang Ning couldn't help holding up the cup and drank clear water, adding: "At that time, I couldn't help asking myself, where are all the female scientists? Among my students, the girls were all excellent, but the girls who chose the path of scientific research were the ones But very few."

Luo Sheng nodded: "Maybe women are easily confused when facing family and career choices. External factors have influenced many women to choose to stick to the scientific path."

When he subconsciously said this sentence, Luo Sheng felt that it was not appropriate to face the person, because Yang Ning is still single. Doesn't this imply that her career is successful but her personal emotional family is a failure?

However, Yang Ning did not think so, but extended his words: "To solve this problem, we need to let this society slowly see that more and more women can succeed. I have been encouraging my students to comply with Be brave in your own heart."

Luo Sheng nodded slowly in agreement, and quickly skipped the topic: "I am more curious about how you got on the road to science?"

Hearing this, Yang Ning readily shared this question: "My scientific dream originated from "Journey to the West" I watched when I was young. When I saw that Monkey King can become infinitely smaller, I suddenly imagined what would happen if he was so small that he could enter the cell. What? That’s what inspired me to come closer to science, to have a strong interest in cells, and finally to embark on the path of structural biology."

Luo Sheng went to the next topic: "I saw some industry news. What do you expert think about the claims that cancer can be cured by starving cancer cells?"

Nowadays, if you search for the name of "Yang Ning" on the Internet, you will get a lot of news-"Qinghua University professor said that cancer can be treated", "Qinghua University professor said that cancer cells can be'starved to death'" and so on. The title of the effect.

Yang Ning shook his head bluntly, and explained to Luo Sheng on the spot: “At this stage, it is impossible to'starve cancer cells to death', and it is not correct. Scientific research from basic research to pharmaceuticals, or the production of a therapy, is actually still A long way."

She has always regarded Luo Sheng as a super-rich, or a rich man who strongly supports the cause of science. She never thought or could not have thought that Luo Sheng was a generalist in his last life, so at this moment, she introduced him in a simple way. Own research-glucose transporter.

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Indeed, science is rigorous. When it becomes a headline on a mass media, it will actually become misleading."

Yang Ning nodded in agreement with this: "As a scientist, the more I study myself, the more humble I feel, the more I can try to understand life and study the mysteries of life with curiosity."

After a brief chat with Luo Sheng for a while, Yang Ning felt that chatting with this young super-rich was quite enjoyable, and Luo Sheng was indeed a good chat person.

After a while, the chat was over, Yang Ning took out a letter and handed it to Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, this is a letter from my mentor."

Luo Sheng took the letter and opened it up.

At this moment, the two sides didn't say a word, and Yang Ning, who was sitting opposite him, was looking forward to it, and there was still a hint of anxiety in meeting.

On the way to Suzhou, she became more and more grateful for her mentor, and at the same time, she knew more that being the director of the Shanghai Structural Biochemistry Laboratory could provide an unprecedented broad stage for her research vision and individual.

"OK, the director of the Shanghai Laboratory will hand it over to you." Luo Sheng quickly read the recommendation letter and responded very simply, so decisive that even Yang Ning was quite surprised.

In her assumption, Luo Sheng would definitely consider a day or two before giving a response after reading the recommendation letter. She didn't expect to make a decision on the spot, but actually agreed.

She didn’t know that Luo Sheng’s understanding of her and future achievements surpassed her own. This alone was enough, and Luo Sheng was very confident that Yang Ning would surely achieve even higher achievements in his laboratory. breakthrough.

Even if this matter is so set, Luo Sheng put down the envelope and looked at Yang Ning with a smile: "The completion of the Shencheng Laboratory may take one or two years, and the fastest progress will also take a year. We will strive for one. It’s done this year. I just heard that you have resigned from Qinghua. This year’s research must not be wasted."

"Let’s see if this is feasible. Before the laboratory is built and put into use, I will contact my alma mater Fuda and arrange for you to temporarily work in it for your personal research. The funds required do not need to go through the Fuda, Life Science Fund Grant you directly."

Yang Ning: "Thank you."

With two simple words, I don't know what to say about Luo Sheng's careful arrangement. In short, I am quite satisfied, and I have become more and more convinced that this choice is extremely wise.

(Ps: This is not the heroine. No surprise, there should be no new heroines appearing in the future plot advancement.)
