Chapter 1305 Siren

Anderson stood at the entrance of the school's auditorium, greeted the swarming guests with a smile on his face, and gave special badges or VIP cards to the guests he knew from time to time.

This is his exclusive skill. Anderson remembers all important guests who came to Stockholm University, including Nobel Prize winners and important candidates, leaders of various countries and important political figures, cultural celebrities, business celebrities and those who donated a lot to the school. Celebrities or not, bipeds or not.

No one knows how Anderson did it. Houston privately guessed that Anderson would go home with photos of the day's guests and recite them every night, just like memorizing words.

Houston didn't think his guess was outrageous. Anderson knew English, French and German. Including the northern Swedish dialect and a little Russian, he had memorized as many words as people's names.

However, Houston did not dislike administrative officials like Anderson. Although it is not worth regretting that all school administrative officials were killed by hailstones, administrative officials like Anderson still deserved a decent funeral.

"Houston." Anderson suddenly yelled, startling Houston into a shudder. In his mind, Anderson had just been lying in an aluminum alloy coffin.

"Anderson." Houston collected his thoughts and answered steadily.

"Professor Parker from Yale University, I think you know him." Anderson muttered, pointing to a man and a woman who were climbing the steps more than 20 meters ahead.

"It's Professor Parker and his wife." Houston squinted his eyes to see the face in front of him clearly, and said enviously, "Your eyesight is really good."

Anderson smiled and said, "When I was in the Defense Force, I almost became a sniper."

Houston didn't trust Anderson at all, not because he didn't trust Anderson, but because he didn't trust the school administrators.

"When I visited the United States, I went to Professor Parker's laboratory, but how do you know we know each other?" Houston asked another doubt of his own.

"Professor Parker has been to Star University twice, and you received both of them." Anderson looked like you forgot?

This, Houston knew, was Anderson's favorite part, remembering events the client had forgotten.

Houston didn't argue, just laughed, and went up to meet Parker.

Parker is a chair professor at Yale University,

Almost the world's third-tier high-end scholars are only slightly inferior to those who have produced Nobel Prize-level achievements but have not yet won the Nobel Prize. However, Nobel Prize-level achievements can be made wherever you want. It is not easy to achieve Parker's level and become a lecture professor at a world-renowned university.

For example, Houston himself does not even have the fourth-level level. He is a professor in Stockholm, but unless he becomes a tenured professor at a prestigious school like Yale, or a chair professor at Stockholm University, he is far from the goal of a world-renowned professor. It's still far away.

Fortunately, Swedish scholars are always strong when they meet the strong. Professors like Parker are extremely polite to Houston. The two entered the hall arm in arm. Come out sweating.

"The temperature in the hall is too high," Houston complained.

"I'll ask someone to adjust it." Anderson picked up the walkie-talkie, yelled twice, put it down again, looked at Houston, and said, "You care about Yang Rui."

"yes?"

"Of course, read the paper in public alone, hehe..." Anderson laughed twice.

Houston said: "Yang Rui's PCR is of extraordinary value, he has this qualification."

"I understand, of course he is qualified." Anderson said hello to the passing scholars while speaking, and said calmly: "However, as far as I know, the paper that Yang Rui read today is not as valuable as PCR. And Yang Rui's reputation doesn't seem to be at the level where he needs to read the paper in public."

"Didn't the school still agree?" Houston said lightly.

Anderson frowned slightly, and said, "The school agreed because of your recommendation and the influence of the recent PCR."

"So, Yang Rui has enough qualifications, and he has created enough influence."

"The influence he created is not the influence of academia."

"Are you trying to say that he doesn't have enough influence in the academic world?" Houston laughed, nodded his chin, and said, "Don't you know a lot of people? You can take a look at today's guests. What is the influence of academics?"

There are more or less cases of public reading of papers in every school. It’s just that with the convenience of transportation and the simplification of communication methods, small and weak schools gradually lose the ability to hold such activities. Their public speeches are often given to the students or teachers of the school, which belongs to the power overflow of the speaker. Multipart is a self-healing pattern.

High-level universities take a cautious attitude towards such lectures, because according to tradition, this often means the school's recognition of the scholar, and even unreserved support.

The reading of the thesis at Stockholm University is even more symbolic, especially in the second half of the year, it is always easy to have a long imagination.

Although the Nobel Prize is a world-class award, the winners of the Nobel Prize are all Swedish scholars.

To be more precise, it is the professors of Stockholm University and Katherine School of Medicine who decide the Nobel Prize.

Anderson looked at Houston and asked straightforwardly: "Do you think Yang Rui is qualified to win the Nobel Prize?"

"It doesn't matter how I feel. I'm not Arrhenius." Houston was talking about the Swedish scholar who prevented Mendeleev from winning the award. He is also the Swedish scholar most closely associated with the Nobel Prize. Whenever people talk about black box operations, they will inevitably mention him.

It can be seen from the declassified documents that Arrhenius has almost dominated the review of the physics and chemistry awards for more than ten years. Although it is not an exclusive decision, its influence far exceeds the scope of science and rationality.

There is clear evidence, in addition to Mendeleev, there is Nernst, the fourth founder of modern physical chemistry, because he is an enemy with Arrhenius, and was blocked by the latter for many years. Marie Curie won the award for his planning in 1911. In addition, Werner, who won the award in 13 years, and Richards, who won the award in 2014, were all pushed into the Nobel Prize hall by Arrhenius.

There is not much money exchange and power exchange in it, but grievances and ideological disputes are indispensable.

In general, when Arrhenius is associated with the Nobel Prize, it is not a derogatory term.

Anderson smiled with a "chi" and said, "You can't be Arrhenius, but you want to be Siren."

Houston's face suddenly changed, and his thoughts were really punctured by Anderson.

Siren refers to Lars Siren. Since he became a professor of inorganic chemistry at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 1951, he began to prepare documents for the Nobel Prize Committee on Semyonov's scientific research results. Siren has prepared for this for three years and has done a lot of work, the most important of which is to translate Semyonov’s Russian articles and recommend them to the academic circles in different ways, mainly the Swedish academic circles .

Siren was not a member of the five-member committee of the Nobel Prize. In fact, Siren was just an ordinary professor in Stockholm at the time, only 35 years old, and his status was not as good as that of Houston now.

However, Siron's effective translation and introduction work greatly changed the Nobel Committee's perception of Semyonov. Before that, none of the five-member committee could read Russian. I know some of his achievements, but a comprehensive understanding of Semyonov starts from Siren.

This is a classic example of the influence of individuals on the Nobel Prize affairs. To a certain extent, Siren has made Semyonov, and Semyonov's Nobel Prize has in turn made Siren.

Huston is not a gifted scholar, but as a Swedish scientist, it is not difficult to understand that he wants to be a figure like Siren.

But at this time, Houston was unwilling to answer Anderson directly, but said: "The Nobel Prize in Biology is judged by the Katherine School of Medicine."

"What does that matter?" Anderson laughed, but said: "Actually, it's okay to want to be Siren, but you have to know that Semyonov won the award because Sweden wanted to ease relations with the Soviet Union, and you don't Understand Chinese."

Houston glanced at Anderson and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

In his heart, he mocked that Yang Rui's papers were all written in English.

Anderson seemed to see Houston's thoughts, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "It took Siren three years, I don't know how long you need? Fortunately, Yang Rui is still young, so he can wait thirty years."

"You will see." Houston didn't say much, and turned back to the hall.
