Capítulo 1918: Chapter 1322: Leave It to Us
The eting room of Sanbo Research Institute.
Tang Shun, Song Zimo, Lu Xiaolu, and Xu Zhiliang, the four main figures, were gathered in front of a whiteboard filled with a complex relationship diagram, titled: “System Regulation Theory: A Closed-loop Evidence from Molecular chanism to Clinical Efficacy”.
The four of them looked serious. The System Regulation Theory, with Yang Ping focusing on the core research, had so of the experintal verification work delegated to these four key figures.
“The closed-loop is still missing three parts.” Tang Shun circled several arrows on the whiteboard with a red marker, “How TIM conformational changes precisely regulate downstream gene networks, we only have correlative data from single-cell sequencing in this part, lacking direct causal verification.”
Lu Xiaolu adjusted his glasses, “The photogenetic verification experint on the animal model ca out last week, but I haven’t finished organizing it yet.” He took out a USB drive, “The data is here; it proves that activating a specific domain of TIM can alter the expression of 327 genes within three hours.”
“Hurry up!” Song Zimo took the USB drive, “Turn this into a dynamic visualization, understandable for layn yet insightful for experts.”
“Layn… and experts… Honestly, the committee mbers are sure to be semi-understanding about the System Regulation Theory.” Lu Xiaolu looked troubled.
Xu Zhiliang, who had been standing silently on the side, worried that his speaking might disrupt the discussion’s rhythm, so he simply kept quiet.
“We need to fully present our theory, yet make it comprehensible, which requires so thought,” Tang Shun nodded.
“So we need a three-layer presentation,” Yang Ping entered the room at so point, holding a thermos cup, “The first layer, a one-sentence analogy: it’s like using a specially crafted key to recalibrate the cell’s ‘identity recognition system’. The second layer, a simple diagram: Key (K Factor) → Lock (TIM) → Signal Pathway → Gene Network → Changes in Cell Behavior. The third layer, background data: All experintal raw data, statistical thods, reproducibility verification.”
He took a sip of tea, “The investigators probably want to see all three layers, but won’t understand them thoroughly, so expressing them in easily understandable language is the focus.”
Tang Shun nodded, “Understood, then the reasonable explanation for the adverse reaction of P-009…”
“Include it in the theory boundary and individual differences section,” Yang Ping said, “Proactively showing this adverse reaction, presenting it as it is, without avoiding this adverse reaction case allows us to exhibit the spirit of scientific truth-seeking, showing what we learned from it, and how we improved the prediction model. Science isn’t about never making mistakes, but learning from mistakes continuously, approaching correctness through learning, it’s a spiraling upwards process.”
At this mont, Dr. Zhang Wei peeked into the eting room door, with the “Health Score 95” bracelet on his wrist particularly noticeable.
“Professor, everyone…” he whispered, “Should I continue with the analysis report on my comrcial bracelet?”
“Continue,” Yang Ping nodded, “Are you doing projects just to deal with inspections?”
Zhang Bo quickly explained, “I an should I stop that off-topic project and co over to help everyone?”
“No need, you stay in your original project group, as for trivial matters like bracelet research, don’t bother asking us, if you’re interested, research it, if not, drop it, decide for yourself.” Song Zimo said coldly.
“Understood!” Zhang Bo walked off disappointedly, initially hoping to scrounge sothing, but ended up with nothing.
Dr. Zhang Wei’s enthusiasm for the bracelet was actually influenced by Zhang Lin. Being a young talent of the Old Zhang Family, Zhang Lin was now thriving on those side research topics, and as a laboratory researcher, Zhang Wei also wanted to stand on the “giant’s” shoulders, replicating Zhang Lin’s success.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know where he went wrong and why he didn’t have Zhang Lin’s effect.
…
The ones considering the committee visit as a “top priority” were Tang Shun and Song Zimo. It wasn’t purely out of love for Yang Ping or the theory, but mixed with so personal interest— if Professor Yang wins the award again, he definitely wouldn’t be interested in going to Sweden to receive it, so the honor naturally falls to them. Of course, they’re still willing to take on the honor of accepting the award on behalf of Professor Yang, maybe even share a few words with the dia.
Tang Shun’s office, the two were having a secret eting.
“Have you found out?” Song Zimo lowered his voice, “Nobel Prize ceremony, how many people can the winner take to Stockholm?”
Tang Shun swiped through the tablet page, “The official stance is that the winner and spouse receive full funding, but typically they’ll invite a few core collaborators, expenses self-covered or deducted from the prize.”
“I’ll go even if it’s on my own expense!” Song Zimo’s eyes glowed, “Think, Stockholm, December, Nobel Prize Award Week… that’s the Oscars of the scientific world!”
“That’s not the point.” Tang Shun adjusted his glasses, a gleam flashing behind the lenses, “The point is, if Professor Yang wins, he’d be too lazy to accept the award, so this glorious task would fall to us, right?”
“And… staying in Stockholm for the follow-up activities— like the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences banquet, embassy receptions of various countries, and dia interviews, these arduous tasks would also fall to us.” Tang Shun’s mouth slightly curved upwards, “Who do you think is most suitable?”
The two looked at each other and shared a knowing smile.
“But we must act very professional, can’t let him see through our little sche.” Song Zimo said seriously, “This committee visit is our best opportunity to showcase reliable deputy capabilities.”
