Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 320 The Role of Academic Conferences

Now that he has decided to attend the first academic conference in his life, Wu Bin naturally intends to make full preparations.

As for the experience in this area, Brother Xiao Zhengrui, who often flies around with Academician Chen Xianhui, has more experience.

So Wu Bin went to the office to find him early the next morning.

"Academic meeting? You are asking the right person, haha. In fact, I was also nervous when I followed the professor to the report meeting for the first time. In fact, it was completely unnecessary." Xiao Zhengrui sighed suddenly: "Because you You will soon find that no one pays attention to you at all..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Zhengrui continued: "Anyway, what you have to do is to read the literature related to the research you are interested in in advance, and then choose the few lectures you want to hear the most according to the summary of the meeting. The timetable You should have it, right?"

"Well, there is."

After eating that day, Wu Bin received the specific arrangement of the academic conference that day, which included the time and place of all academic reports.

"OK, the rest is actually socializing. For those big cows in the same field, academic exchanges with fixed themes are like Chinese New Year. Many of them will participate in the mood of visiting old friends. As for students, Naturally, it is mainly to ask for advice, and you can grasp the opportunity yourself."

Wu Bin nodded, and asked again: "Brother, do you think academic exchanges are of great help to you?"

"Of course there are functions. For example, to promote the formation of one's own papers. This should be the most common reason for most people to attend conferences. After all, writing academic papers is a physical and brain-consuming thing. Generally, it is just thinking about new research. It’s best when you design the topic and design the whole research process and data collection method, you must be able to understand this, right?”

Wu Bin nodded, "It's indeed very interesting to start a project, especially when the data is first obtained, I will use it to verify the preliminary analysis immediately."

"Hahaha, right!" Xiao Zhengrui laughed and said, "I feel that this process of satisfying curiosity can stimulate the secretion of dopamine in my brain more than anything else. But when the data is available and the results are calculated, there will be no suspense." It’s starting to hurt, writing these results out is a process of wrestling with myself.”

"Endlessly coding, repeatedly modifying and deliberating on words and structures, the process is boring and boring, and it can basically be delayed for a day, and the attention is easily attracted by other fresher envy. Those in the institute who are indefinitely Isn’t that how all the old projects on hold came about, don’t you think?”

"???"

'Isn't that the fun part? '

But looking at Xiao Zhengrui's extremely resentful eyes, Wu Bin still nodded in agreement and said, "Uh... yeah."

"That's why participating in academic conferences is useful at this time." Seeing Wu Bin's incomprehensible eyes, Xiao Zhengrui smiled proudly: "To put it bluntly, a deadline (deadline) has been set for you. Look, participate Before the academic conference, you have to send your topic to the academic conference, right? Once you pass it, you also agree to go to this academic conference, then you have to work hard to write your paper at the time of the conference date, That way you won't be dragged down indefinitely."

"So the most important function of the academic conference is to treat procrastination???" Wu Bin was also surprised, no matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that the most important function of the academic conference was this.

Seeing Wu Bin's shocked expression, Xiao Zhengrui waved his hands and said, "There's nothing you can do about it. After all, the essence of human beings is goo. If you don't set a deadline for yourself, it's possible to delay it for as long as you want."

"It seems reasonable..."

"What does it mean? You'll know it after you try it. It's really easy to use. In addition, understanding the latest academic viewpoints and research directions in the field is also a key point of the exchange meeting, so I don't need to tell you more, to put it bluntly That is, you stay in the office to read the literature written by others, and you go to the exchange meeting to listen to other people’s live analysis, and if your level is high enough, you can ask two questions.”

"Well, this sounds interesting." After all, the article is dry. If you can communicate with the author face to face, you can understand the article in a more three-dimensional way.

"Oh, by the way, there is another important point." Xiao Zhengrui raised a finger and said.

"what?"

"Cough!" Xiao Zhengrui coughed first, then turned around and said quietly after looking back to see that there was no one at the door: "Well... Actually, I personally think that academic conferences are a vacation for many scholars. How boring is the usual research, either writing articles for a few months alone or reading countless documents, life has hardly changed, how boring.”

"Academic conferences allow you to go to another city to get some fresh air during the few days of the conference with peace of mind. Therefore, eating, drinking and having fun at many academic conferences is a very important issue."

But after finishing speaking, Xiao Zhengrui immediately added another sentence: "Of course, the above situation is only my personal understanding. After all, the high-end academic conferences I have participated in are limited, and I have gone to soy sauce. It is possible that the academic collisions between those big names are real. It can explode with sparks."

"Okay, thank you brother for your advice, I understand."
