Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 92 Summer Camp Ends

"Teacher, I need to go to the toilet." someone shouted.

"Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom too." Someone yelled the first sentence, and soon someone yelled the second sentence, and after that, many people yelled to go to the bathroom.

"Go, you can see the toilet by turning left and walking forward. Anyone of you who wants to go to the bathroom should do it together now. The exam will be two hours later." Teacher Wang Lingling, the host of the opening ceremony, saw Many students wanted to go to the bathroom, so they said to them.

As soon as these words came out, another group of campers got up and got ready to go to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ming in the front row was chatting with several teachers from Nankai School of Life Sciences.

"Just now, when I heard Professor Zhou talk about molecular biology, he talked about botany. Professor Zhou seems to know a lot about botany. I don't know what Professor Zhou said about the molecular mechanism of plant leaf aging and the regulation of the synthesis of the plant hormone ethylene. What do you think about the molecular mechanism of molecular evolution, crop nitrogen utilization and yield traits formation? I have been engaged in research in this area." Zhou Ming was asking this question just after talking to the students and asking them to go to the Wang Lingling, associate dean of the School of Life Sciences of the toilet.

"What are Professor Wang's main directions in botany research?" After hearing Wang Lingling ask him about botany, Zhou Ming did not answer immediately, but asked about Wang Lingling's research direction.

"My main research direction now is the molecular mechanism of plant leaf senescence, the synthesis regulation and molecular evolution mechanism of the plant hormone ethylene, the mechanism of plant nitrogen utilization and the formation of yield traits, and the use of bioengineering technology to improve the quality and yield of crops, etc.

Recently, I am preparing for the research on the regulation mechanism of ethylene synthesis in the process of leaf senescence in Arabidopsis. I am going to apply for the National Natural Science Foundation of China for this project. "Professor Wang explained to Zhou Ming her research direction and the research she plans to start recently.

Although Zhou Ming doesn't specialize in botany, he also knows the Arabidopsis thaliana that Wang Lingling mentioned.

Arabidopsis, like rape, radish, and cabbage, is a cruciferous plant. It is widely distributed, whether it is in Eurasia or Northwest Africa.

However, Arabidopsis is neither good-looking nor delicious, and it had no economic value for humans in the past.

However, the Arabidopsis plants are small, the growth cycle is short, the fruit is abundant, and the morphological characteristics are clearly distributed. These characteristics make the mutant phenotype of Arabidopsis easy to observe and provide convenience for mutant screening.

Moreover, Arabidopsis is a typical self-propagating plant, which is easy to maintain genetic stability.At the same time, artificial hybridization can be conveniently carried out, which is beneficial to genetic research.With the vigorous development of biology and classical genetics in the past 100 years, its many research values ​​have gradually attracted the attention of scientists.

Because the research value of Arabidopsis thaliana is very extensive, and there are many people who study it, Zhou Ming has a little understanding of it.

However, although Zhou Ming has some knowledge of Arabidopsis thaliana, he has not conducted research on it, so what Wang Lingling said, she recently planned to study the regulation mechanism of ethylene synthesis in the aging process of Arabidopsis leaves, Zhou Ming can not provide anything suggestion.

"Professor Wang, in fact, I don't have a deep understanding of botany. When I mentioned molecular biology, I mentioned a little bit of knowledge in this area because I talked about it with Professor Liao Weiguo from Haida not long ago. .

But since you asked, I'll give my opinion.If there is anything wrong, Professor Wang must point it out.

Leaf senescence is the last stage of leaf development and belongs to post-mitosis. It is related to various exogenous factors such as plant age, hormones, and environment.I think it is possible to identify mutants that undergo changes in senescence through forward genetic screening, and to conduct functional identification of hundreds of senescence-associated genes through reverse genetics, and analyze the in-depth molecular mechanisms related to leaf senescence, so that it is possible to obtain some breakthrough.

As for what Professor Wang said about the synthesis regulation and molecular evolution of the plant hormone ethylene, the molecular mechanism of crop nitrogen utilization and the formation of yield traits, I really don’t know enough about it, and I can’t talk nonsense. "Zhou Ming told Wang Lingling some of his opinions on the research on leaf aging, but didn't say much else.

"Liao Weiguo? Professor Zhou still knows Dean Liao?" Both Wang Lingling and Liao Weiguo are leaders in the field of botany research in China, and they have naturally had contact with each other, but Liao Weiguo is from Haida University and Zhou Ming is from Metalworking University. The location of the school alone is far behind, she wondered why Zhou Ming knew Liao Weiguo.

"Because Dean Liao Weiguo gave a report to Metalworking University a few months ago, I also listened to his report and exchanged some things with him. A lot of my understanding of botany comes from Liao Dean." Zhou Ming explained.

"I see. I was wondering, Professor Zhou, you are a graduate student in the Department of Neurobiology and Biophysics at the University of Science and Technology of China. How could you know so much about botany?" Wang Lingling suddenly realized after listening to Zhou Ming's explanation. She nodded, but she still felt very broad about Zhou Ming's knowledge.

"However, I haven't done research on the genetic biology of your reverse genetics. I have only done research on the signal transmission mechanism of leaf senescence." Wang Lingling said again, she couldn't listen to Zhou Ming's words Just change her main research direction. Even if she can conduct research in this area, it must be a taste. If the research goes well, she can continue to increase investment.

Zhou Ming was communicating with several teachers here, and students gathered around one after another, listening carefully to their conversations. After all, what Zhou Ming communicated with these teachers was likely to be the research they would participate in after entering Nankai for graduate school. project.

If I can get more information from the big guys now, I can have more knowledge reserves when I do research and write papers, so that I won't be too miserable.

Soon, Wang Lingling saw that the students who had gone to the bathroom had returned, so she began to distribute the test papers with several other teachers.

The campers of the summer camp started their exams, while Zhou Ming and several teachers left the lecture hall to continue their communication outside, leaving only two or three teachers staring at the lecture hall.

The two hours of unified testing in the morning passed quickly, and the teachers took the students to have lunch together. Zhou Ming naturally went to eat with these teachers.

After the lunch break, the campers of the summer camp, led and accompanied by volunteers from the School of Life Sciences, visited the laboratory to experience the scientific research strength and academic atmosphere of Nankai School of Biological Sciences, and communicated with the teachers and students in the laboratory .

Zhou Ming was also invited to visit the laboratory.

In the evening, they returned to the lecture hall of the biological station again, where the summer campers and postgraduate students held a fellowship here.

And the teachers and leaders who were in the daytime have almost all returned to their homes at this time.

The postgraduate students of the School of Life Sciences talked to the campers about their personal experience of study and life, and interacted with the campers, discussing and sharing their experience in scientific research, studies and other aspects.

Of course, the personal experience they said must not have any negative information. After all, there are teachers watching from the sidelines, and they will only talk about it unless they don't want to graduate.

As for the difficulties of postgraduates, these juniors and girls will naturally understand after they go to postgraduates themselves.

After the exchange ended in the evening, Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu went back to the hotel together.

"How do you feel about today's summer camp activities?" Zhou Ming asked Shen Qingqiu on the way back.

Although Zhou Ming was always by the side of the summer camp of Nankai Academy of Biological Sciences this time, he was always a bystander. After all, his identities were different, and only Shen Qingqiu integrated into it as a camper as a participant.

"Although you have told me a lot before, today I still feel that there are many differences between graduate students and undergraduate students. Undergraduate students mainly focus on learning knowledge points, while graduate students also have courses, but they mainly focus on doing research. " Shen Qingqiu said while holding Zhou Ming's hand, not paying attention to the eyes of other summer campers around her. At this time, she was no longer the first time she fell in love with Zhou Ming.

Feeling the envious eyes cast on him from around, Shen Qingqiu only felt that having a boyfriend like Zhou Ming was an extremely happy thing.

"You are right. From the time you are a graduate student, your main task is to do scientific research. However, learning new knowledge is also important. No matter when, learning new knowledge is an important thing." Zhou Ming Finally, he reminded Shen Qingqiu.

"You know, I've always studied hard, okay? Hmph, it's you, who spent your freshman, freshman, and sophomore days fooling around." Shen Qingqiu defended himself and said coquettishly. At this time, she pouted. Small mouth, very cute, but it's a pity that it's night, Zhou Ming couldn't see Shen Qingqiu's facial expression clearly.

"Every time you chat with me, do you think I'm childish?" Shen Qingqiu suddenly asked Zhou Ming again.

"Ah? No, why do you suddenly ask this?" Zhou Ming looked confused. Why did Shen Qingqiu suddenly ask this?
"I see that when you chat with those teachers, you feel that the content of the chat is very high-level. Whether you are chatting with Teacher Yi at the Metal Industry University, or chatting with the teachers at the summer camp here, I can't understand. When you were talking about professional knowledge with those teachers in the lecture hall, did you notice the students around? They all looked adoring.

Tell me, you are younger than many of them, how do you know so much? "Shen Qingqiu explained the reason why she would think so, and at the end she didn't forget to praise Zhou Ming to satisfy Xia Zhou Ming's vanity.

"Because the content of the chat is all academic, and you haven't learned this knowledge now, it's normal if you don't understand it. If a physicist tells me about advanced physics knowledge, I won't be able to understand it either." many.

As for why I know so much, I think this is probably the difference between geniuses and ordinary people! "Zhou Ming didn't forget to brag in the end.

Zhou Ming naturally knew about his own situation. He had nothing to do with being a genius. The knowledge he had now was obtained through many simulations in the life simulator.

Shen Qingqiu didn't know this, although she knew that Zhou Ming's last sentence was deliberately said in that contrived tone, but she said very seriously: "Maybe it's really because of this reason, I used to only think of such a genius. Saw it on TV."

"You said just now that they looked adored, so do you adore me?" In the end, Zhou Ming smiled and looked at Shen Qingqiu, and Shen Qingqiu just happened to look up at him at this time.

The two of them walked away while talking like this, and the other campers around saw him kissing me so brazenly and like no one else, and they were too embarrassed to step forward and make light bulbs to disturb them.

Especially the single dogs, shed tears of envy, jealousy and hatred, shouting in their hearts, "Why is such a boy (girl) not my husband (wife)?"

……

In the morning of the second day, the summer campers were led to visit the campus by the graduate seniors, followed by the teacher-student exchange session.

In fact, the main purpose of the summer camp is to integrate outstanding students into the teachers' research groups in advance.And the most important of these is the teacher-student exchange.

Through teacher-student exchanges, students can better understand the research done by teachers, and teachers can get to know students earlier. They can let students who are going to enter their research group read books in advance, understand in advance, and prepare in advance, which is better than the test. The graduate students who entered their research groups spent more than half a year.

In this way, the students who enter the graduate school through the way of insurance research can start to do research one by one when they start school. This is why many college teachers like to become graduate students through the path of insurance research. reason.

Before Shen Qingqiu came here, she had already chosen a mentor to follow, so her main communication partner this time was also that teacher.

The teacher is Chen Yanhong, a professor in the Department of Genetics and Cell Biology, and her enrollment direction is also genetics and cell biology. Her main research direction is the molecular mechanism of genome instability caused by abnormal regulation of nuclear membrane homeostasis; The molecular mechanism of senescence caused by the abnormal homeostasis of reticulum organelles; the pathogenic genes and their molecular mechanisms of breast tumor and ovarian cancer.

Moreover, Chen Yanhong is still the director of the State Key Laboratory of Biomembrane and Membrane Bioengineering. It can be said that this teacher's research fits well with Shen Qingqiu's previous preparation.

Because Shen Qingqiu had undergone Zhou Ming's special training and training before, the communication with Chen Yanhong at this time also made Shen Qingqiu calm and unhurried. Whether it was her answers or the questions she raised, Chen Yanhong liked it very much.

Based on Shen Qingqiu's performance today, as long as she didn't stretch her crotch in yesterday's test, Shen Qingqiu's spot as an outstanding camper this time will definitely go to Shen Qingqiu.

"Are you Professor Zhou?" After communicating with the campers in the summer camp, Chen Yanhong specifically found Zhou Ming and asked him.

"Hello, Professor Chen, I'm Zhou Ming." Zhou Ming didn't know what Chen Yanhong wanted him to do.

"The leaders and teachers who participated in the opening ceremony of the camp yesterday were full of praise for you. I didn't expect that you not only know so much about botany and pathogens, but also have a deep understanding of biofilms." It seems that Chen Yanhong also learned from those yesterday. The teachers knew about the relationship between Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu, so they came to him specially.

Zhou Ming and Chen Yanhong didn't talk for long, because the summer campers finally started their personal style display.

The PPT prepared by Shen Qingqiu was finally available. After some self-introduction, the professional interview officially started.

The interview is over, and the 2015 Biology Summer Camp of Nankai University School of Life Sciences is finally over.

Finally, the campers and teachers all took a group photo on the first floor of the Biology Station. A banner with "Warm congratulations on the complete success of the Biology Summer Camp of the School of Life Sciences of Nankai University" was posted above the door of the Biology Station.

"Hey, Professor Zhou, since you're here, why don't you take a photo with us?" After the photo session with the campers, Luo Wenjun, the dean of the School of Life Sciences, said to Zhou Ming who was standing aside.

The group photo of Zhou Ming is with the teachers of the School of Life Sciences.
