1991 Starting from the core

Seeing Piero Anversa quickly authenticate and add V on ebook, Ye Rudai's face was very proud.

Obviously, when clarification and long logical expressions are needed, broadcast-style social media like ebook still have significant advantages.

A microblog of 140 words is certainly very suitable for running data flow, but with such small words... it is obviously impossible to explain things clearly, and is only suitable for expressing emotions and conveying brief information.

Who is Su Yuanshan? When he saw the little pride on his wife's face, he immediately realized that she moved back to Yicheng because she felt that the data and popularity of the previous ebook could not be matched by Weibo...

So...as a qualified husband, he will naturally not displease his wife.

"I thought he was going to open a Weibo to reply...but he went to ebook instead?" Su Yuanshan pretended to sigh, then took his wife's tablet and started reading it.

"Ebook is originally a social media that started in school. Piero is a professor after all. It is normal to choose the ebook platform. Besides, what can you explain in a few words on your Weibo?"

Su Yuanshan nodded naturally: "Well, you reminded me well. Later I will ask them to create a long Weibo function with no limit on the number of words."

Ye Rudai: "..."

…

Piero wrote a thousand-word response eloquently, but Su Yuanshan only took less than a minute to read it. He put down the tablet, with ridicule on his face: "I thought he was going to respond... He seems to have said so much in this article. Believe it or not, he can express it in 140 words?"

Ye Rudai was naturally full of disbelief, but after she quickly read this clarification speech from a medical expert, she had to admit...it was indeed only three sentences long.

I didn't fake it, it was them who couldn't do it, and someone targeted me.

Del Piero said nothing about the public clamor for the disclosure of original experimental data or the investigation by trusted institutions.

Then, someone below immediately became unhappy.

Just refreshing it casually, someone replied: Don't be so pushy. There are always people questioning you for not telling me. There are still so many laboratories retracting the manuscript. If myocardial stem cells are real, why do people withdraw the manuscript because their brains are sick?

Piero turned a deaf ear to this questioning.

Of course, it's also possible that he hasn't figured out how to use social networks...

Su Yuanshan checked his e-book for a while and found that Piero had no new response. After continuing to pretend to be dead, he felt bored and said with a look of resentment on his face: "This person is really a dead duck with a tough mouth... It feels like He has the mentality that I will give you face when I get back to you—does he think he is the relevant department?"

"Ahem..." Ye Rudai coughed and blinked: "Don't talk nonsense. But I think the main reason why he hasn't admitted his mistake yet is because no big shot in the industry has stepped forward..."

"Well, wait...we still have to believe that academia has a conscience."

Su Yuanshan raised his head and glanced at the time. It was already 11 o'clock at night - the reason why they could enjoy their world quietly was that the two children were taken back to the city by their grandparents for the weekend.

He put his hand down and moved it around Ye Rudai's ribs, pinched it gently, and said with a smile: "How about we take a rest?"

"……what time is it?"

"What do you think?" Su Yuanshan pointed to the clock on the TV with his chin: "It's almost twelve o'clock."

"Aren't you a night owl?"

"I'm already in my thirties, what kind of cat is Ye?"

As Su Yuanshan said this, he turned sideways and picked her up in a standard princess hug.

Half an hour later.

Ye Rudai: "Don't you think you are in your thirties?"

The next morning, Su Yuanshan opened his eyes at half past six on time.

His long-term work arrangement has led him to form a 6+1 sleeping habit, that is, six hours of sleep at night and a one-hour lunch break. Especially in the past two years, he has hardly traveled for business and suffered from jet lag, so his biological clock is very stable.

Ye Rudai, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly with her back to him.

Su Yuanshan reached for his phone, unlocked it and clicked on Weibo - before, he would never have checked social media as soon as he opened his eyes. It's just that during this period of time, he has been paying attention to Piero's affairs, and then he browses the news as soon as possible every day - this time is also the most active night on the Lao American side.

It can be seen from Su Yuanshan's change in habits that he is far less concerned about Piero's fraud than he seems to be.

The previous analysis full of "conspiracy theories" is actually correct.

This is indeed a premeditated and targeted challenge to the authority of the Western scientific community launched by the Eastern scientific community.

At the same time, it is also a typical example and a red line used by domestic academic ethics committees.

For Su Yuanshan, this is a trial to break authority driven by social media.

Therefore, in addition to focusing on the results, he also values ​​the process.

What made him feel relieved was that in this carnival of Piero the whole network, he might have occupied a favorable moral high ground, so that everything went extremely smoothly.

Whether it is eso, Weibo, Tieba, ivideo, or Twitter, which is highly homogeneous with Weibo, but its influence and number of registrations are far less than Weibo... they are all for The popularity of cardiac stem cell fraud has contributed.

This shows that for the general public, even if they have no scientific literacy or no interest in science, as long as they are guided and events are explained reasonably, they can still arouse interest in it.

For example, there are many big Vs on Weibo who popularized science about cardiac stem cells in vernacular. They said that Piero claimed to be able to rejuvenate the heart, but now he was criticized as nonsense.

Su Yuanshan refreshed the homepage, and then a blog post that Gao Xiaofang forwarded a minute ago popped up.

Gao Xiaofang only had a short comment on the article he forwarded.

——"It seems that there is no way to clean up the fraud of cardiac stem cells."

After Su Yuanshan clicked on the article, he found that it was a blog post published by Jeffrey Moore Kenting, a professor at the Howard Hughes Research Institute and a new leader in cardiovascular science, with the attitude of writing a paper.

In the article, Jeffery elaborated on his experimental results and exchanges with colleagues, and finally stated that "no one can reproduce Piero's results."

"I hope no more articles on cardiac stem cells will be published, because every article is a humiliation to the biomedical community."

After Su Yuanshan read the entire text, a smile appeared on his lips.

"why are you laughing?"

Ye Rudai had woken up and turned her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"The heavyweights started hammering him."

Su Yuanshan handed the phone to his wife and took a long breath.

——If a big boss like Jeffrey hadn't stepped forward, then he would probably end up personally today.

Piero's enthusiasm has been going on for several days. Even if there is a delay from academia to the public, this enthusiasm cannot last long.

It's okay to let the bullets fly, but if you wait until ten days and a half to really hammer it down, then the hot spot will be gone long ago... At most, the influence will be limited to the academic circle.

Su Yuanshan sat up, twisted his neck, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.

Not only was it bright, it was even filled with morning glow.

"Perfect!"

Half a month later, numerous papers on myocardial stem cells began to be withdrawn. Although Piero still did not admit it, he did not continue to be stubborn and fell into silence.

This means that the academic community has completely reached a consensus that cardiac stem cells are a complete scam.

…

The capital, the cafe outside P University.

Su Yuanshan and Zhang Yitang, who had just finished his speech at his alma mater, were sitting in a quiet corner. The two of them were holding coffee, smiling and chatting softly.

"Mathematics is better. It takes so much trouble to prove fraud." Su Yuanshan knew that Zhang Yitang had also paid attention to the incident of beating Piero some time ago, so he smiled and sighed: "The formulas and calculation results are there."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Yitang also smiled slightly: "Maybe it is too complicated and not noticed by people, so it has not been discovered?"

"Huh?" Su Yuanshan was startled for a moment, then shouted, then quickly lowered his voice and shook his head.

He knew that Zhang Yitang was talking about his doctoral supervisor - if it hadn't been for Zhang's doctoral thesis, maybe Mo Zongjian wouldn't have been implicated so early.

"Senior brother, can't you let go?" Su Yuanshan shook his head and smiled.

"I used to be a little bit grudge. After all, I didn't do anything wrong. But now I have long taken it lightly." Zhang Yitang also shook his head, with a calm look on his face: "I just think his recent reply is a bit... forget it. , don’t talk about this.”

"Well, let's not talk about that." Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "Senior brother, I am afraid that he has received a lot of invitations recently. Have you ever thought about teaching in a mainland university?"

"Not yet. I think it's good as it is now." Zhang Yitang paused and said, "But after thinking about it, we still have to continue the exchanges in the mainland. I'm getting older now, although I still I am passionate about mathematics, but I must admit...brain power is state-specific, so I may spend more time cultivating the next generation."

Zhang Yitang laughed as he said this: "This is a bit like a martial arts novel looking for a disciple, huh?"

"Isn't it?" Su Yuanshan chuckled: "In each laboratory, the research group is a sect, and the graduate students are the senior brothers and sisters... Whoever has more graduate students, a larger research group, more funds, and wider connections is the sect. , can command the entire field..."

Zhang Yitang blinked when he heard this: "What you said... seems to mean something."

Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head.

Of course, he didn't come to the capital this time to meet Zhang Yitang - it just happened that both of them were there, so he arranged to meet and chat.

Naturally, his visit this time was mainly about matters before the Academic Ethics Committee.

After Piero's incident, it was a blow to the domestic academic community.

——No matter how awesome you are, how high your status is, or how big your "contribution" seems to be, as long as your results, especially the results that are the source of your status, cannot stand the test, then someone will hammer you down.

——And as long as you take the initiative to admit your mistakes, especially this kind of experimental project with huge errors... it can still be forgiven... or, in other words, "understood".

After all, except for a few scholars who hate evil, most scholars are easy to talk to. If there is a problem with a certain result, it does not mean that the person is incompetent.

It stands to reason that Su Yuanshan is the kind of scholar who hates evil as much as he hates it and cannot hold a grain of sand in his eyes, but in this matter, his attitude is also to follow the crowd.

After all, if there is no guarantee, who would be willing to be a "tainted witness"?

But this attitude is definitely not an appeasement of fraud.

Therefore, when attending the first formal meeting of the Ethics Committee, Su Yuanshan stated directly that this would not be the case in the future.

In addition to the ethics committee, Su Yuanshan and his father also talked about certain situations in the education system.

Both father and son have always believed that some circles are too closely integrated.

In other words, the sect is too big.

What's more terrible is that the "small sects" derived from the establishment of sects not only have "big sects" but are also "divided into north and south", forming a local "martial arts circle".

To put it more bluntly, although each school has internal competition, when it faces other schools, it is a whole.

In fact, the Electrical Engineering Department is a very typical example.

This...is actually not very good.

Of course, Su Yuanshan would never talk to Zhang Yitang about this.

The two chatted for a while and then parted ways. Zhang Yitang was going back to the hotel to prepare a speech, while Su Yuanshan was going to meet the leader.

After a year of treatment and recovery, the leader's body has recovered well, but he is definitely not up to the high-intensity work, which makes him very unhappy.

What made the leader even more unhappy was that something happened on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. So much so that I was always a little anxious. It wasn't until I saw Su Yuanshan that my whole body became energetic again.

"I heard that you did a lot of work?"

The leader was sitting on the sofa with a slender face, his face was rosy, and there was no sign of anything strange at all, which made Su Yuanshan very relieved.

As he spoke, he pointed to the coffee table.

On the fruit plate on the coffee table were many pastries and snacks that the leader would never eat in his current state of recuperation.

When Su Yuanshan looked at him, he felt a little...

Frankly speaking, this was one of the reasons why he dragged his leader to the hospital at all costs.

In the eyes of the boss, he is still the young man in his twenties who can search for snacks in the office.

Picking up a piece of pastry and putting it into his mouth, Su Yuanshan chuckled: "If the Piero incident can be included in this year's news summary, it can barely be considered a big deal."

"Well, it's mainly about the meaning behind this matter." Of course the leader was far-sighted and nodded slightly: "What is the attitude of the domestic academic community?"

Su Yuanshan thought for a while and gave an accurate reply: "Take this as a warning."

He was very happy: "Is there another time where this will not happen?"

"Haha, yes! The leader summed it up really wisely."

Su Yuanshan flattered him unscrupulously, leaving the new secretary on the side dumbfounded.

"You..." He nodded at Su Yuanshan, and the leader smiled and shook his head: "Then what?"

He and Su Yuanshan have known each other for so many years, so he naturally knows that it is impossible for Su Yuanshan to report such a thing.

"Then..." Su Yuanshan stuffed the cake into his mouth, opened his briefcase with his free hand.

He handed a document to the secretary next to him.
