Chapter 458 Lovely Scientist
Within District 4 of Texas Medical Center Houston:
It was around ten o'clock in the morning, but this city of biomedical research, which was once built with a lot of money, has become a bit cold. At the beginning of its construction, it was claimed to attract the world's top research talents and research institutes to settle in and invest. It is expected to provide 30,000 researcher jobs.
However, after the new mayor took office, this plan was shelved, and government resources were also used to invest in the new virtual construction area.
As usual, Professor Madeleine came to the research institute of her project in the fourth district early, and continued the experiment of her project. Judging from the diary provided by the computer, this is already the 1,400th experiment.
Every time Madeleine came to spend two hours revisiting the experimental records of nearly a month to prevent duplication, as to why she needed to waste time on these, it was because she no longer had assistants in the laboratory. Helping her with these assistants should do the job
Madeleine is old, and she is almost in her fifties. It is obviously impossible for her to completely remember all the previous experimental data, and there is no professional assistant to help her record the data changes and provide reference opinions, so that her experiment progresses Slow like a snail crawling, as to why this happened, it is naturally because of the long-term shortage of project funds in the past three years.
Madeleine's research project is: how to use CRISPR gene programming technology to improve the body's white blood cells to effectively resist cancer large-scale biological research projects.
The project looks huge, and there are amazing returns after research, but just like immigrating to Mars can open up another world resource at once, this kind of project seems ideal but it is difficult to attract investment, because you can’t solve the problem all year round. If you can handle it, most of those capitalists will not believe it. Facts have proved that most of these projects are projects that spend a lot of money and can't spend a little bit of money.
So Madeleine's source of funding is only from government support. She was very lucky. When she first started this project, she met a mayor who was very supportive of biomedical research. But when her project was making good progress, Old Joseph But he couldn't stand it and let someone else take the position of mayor.
It is also because of this that the only funding chain of the Madeleine project is broken, and it is no longer possible to provide sufficient salaries for researchers.
Most of today's young people are very realistic. Not everyone will insist on a scientific research ideal without money. In fact, Madeleine can understand this very well. The tuition fees in North America are expensive, and being able to work as a researcher in Houston, where such big names gather The assistants are all high-achieving students who graduated from prestigious schools, and they have studied in colleges for at least seven years. In North America, the seven-year tuition fees of Ivy League universities are at least no less than 300,000 US dollars, which is definitely an expensive expense for ordinary families. .
Parents have paid such a high price for you to come out, of course it is not for you to work for others for free. People always have to eat enough, wear warmth, and meet the most basic material requirements before they can have higher ideal pursuits.
So Madeleine didn't try to prevent any of the assistants from leaving, she didn't even persuade her, because she wasn't sure that she would be able to make this experiment a success. Put on a face to persuade others to live on their dreams
After spending another morning to finally sort out the data, Madeleine sat on the chair a little tired, her body was exhausted, and her current body could no longer allow her to work continuously
Sighing, Madeleine made a cup of black coffee to refresh herself, so as not to fall asleep due to fatigue, and wake up to reorganize the data
Feeling the powerlessness of her body, Madeleine suddenly felt a little emotional in her heart. If you want to continue on the road of scientific research of your predecessors, you must first accumulate the knowledge of your predecessors. It usually takes half your life to barely become one. You are a pioneer on the road of scientific research, but at this moment, your physical ability has already begun to decline.
It's a paradoxical reality
Madeleine couldn't help but sighed, and then she was taken aback for a moment. She is actually not a sentimental person. Could it be that time is running out?
Thinking of this, she looked at her withered arm. The delicate, white and tender skin was gone forever. Her best years had disappeared unknowingly, but her dream career had just begun.
The plan in her heart was to first use genetic programming to fight against cancer cells, replacing the painful radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the current market, and then use it to achieve cell strengthening, enhance other human immunity, and even achieve the effect of prolonging life.
This idea was born when she was still studying, but now that one foot is almost on the coffin, she has not even taken the first step
I feel so unhappy
Just when she was about to feel emotional, the computer suddenly reminded that someone was visiting, and the person who visited was actually herself. Madeleine was slightly taken aback by the reminder,
My laboratory has been deserted for almost a year, and there are visitors? To be honest, even if the guy next door who is researching the latest drug to suppress benign prostatic hyperplasia has a visitor, she wouldn't be so surprised and knock over the coffee in a fright.
Immediately, out of curiosity, I didn't even have time to clean up the coffee on the ground, so I turned on the computer to see who was visiting me. My lease has not yet expired, so I can't be here to drive people away, right?
As a result, she turned on the computer, and Madeleine saw a very familiar face. After seeing the person, Madeleine's puzzled face instantly showed excitement!
Mayor Ludir?
She didn't expect that after three years, the mayor who was the only one who supported her project would pay a visit. Isn't he missing?
She has been busy with scientific research recently, and she was a bit late in accepting news from the outside world, but when she saw Old Joseph's face, she immediately understood that her project might have hope! !
Thinking of this, she didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly ran to open the door in a staggering manner"
"Madeleine Leanteswiner?" Xiaobaicai looked at the information and tilted her head curiously: "I haven't heard of it, is it very powerful?"
"Maybe not that well-known in academia, but she is definitely a talented and pure researcher." Old Joseph said with a smile: "There are many world-renowned biologists in Houston, but I still rarely see someone as pure as her! "
"Pure? How to say?" Xiaobaicai asked curiously.
Joseph: "Most scientific researchers are actually more like speculators. They will change their original intentions according to the market and follow the trend, but this person is different. She has been working hard for her genetic programming project since her debut. I have been Keep an eye on her. Ten years ago, I lured her to come here by supporting her project in order to build the fourth district. She did not hesitate to give up her comfortable life as a professor at the French Institute of Advanced Studies and devote herself to this promising career in Houston. , I am actually not very optimistic about her project, but I just want to lure her over and guide her to do some more profitable research, but I seem to have underestimated her stubbornness."
Cabbage: ""
Sighing, Joseph continued: "Even now, without an assistant, she is still working on the project alone, recording every bit of progress, and she even understands that she may not be able to complete this task, but still She is willing to work hard for a little more progress in this project, even if it is to save a little detour for the people behind, for which she is willing to go bankrupt."
Xiaobaicai was immediately in awe when he heard the words. In today's impetuous society, this kind of researcher who does not forget his original intention is the most admirable. Even Alice on the side put away his playful smile. It's true, this Madeleine is indeed a very suitable candidate
"Is it Mayor Rudyll?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a panting old woman running down in front of me. She came to open the door with a look of surprise on her face. Xiaobaicai and others noticed that she seemed too excited. The woman didn't even notice that a shoe ran away.
What a lovely person, Xiaobaicai thinks so
