After sighing, Johnson continued, "Xiao Ai, with your current level of biology, it is a waste of time to take undergraduate courses. I will communicate with the school later, and you will study directly with me in the future, and you don't have to take professional courses. In fact, there is a limit to what I can teach you, and it mainly depends on your own research."
Addison knew that Johnson was really thinking about his future, and a trace of warmth surged in his heart. He smiled and said, "Professor, in fact, I have reached an agreement with the school before. I can arrange my own time and don't have to take classes with other students."
Johnson also smiled: "It seems that you have a clear plan for your future a long time ago, which is good. People should be like this. Only by planning for the future can you go more steadily and further. But the most important thing at the moment is, It is to verify the single-base gene editing technology. "
After that, Johnson stood up excitedly and walked out the door, saying as he walked: "I will take you to the laboratory now, first take you to familiarize yourself with the environment, and then carry out relevant experiments. When you have experimental data, you will write a paper and submit it to the "Cell" magazine. By the way, you may not know the journal "Cell". "Cell", "Nature" and "Science" are the three top journals recognized by the scientific community and can be called the authority of the scientific community. If you can publish scientific research results in any of these three journals before the age of 30, you may be able to strive for the goal of becoming an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future. Of course, with your ability, as long as there is no accident, it is a sure thing to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future. "
Addison nodded and followed Johnson out. However, he has not yet decided whether to join the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future. Although it is the supreme honor, he does not like to be too constrained.
The two talked all the way to the laboratory, attracting the attention of many people, and everyone whispered.
"Who is the person chatting with Professor Johnson? Is he a newly recruited doctoral student? He is too young, he looks only 17 or 18 years old."
"I am so envious that he can become Professor Johnson's student. With an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a mentor, his future development will definitely be smooth sailing."
"Don't say it, I am almost jealous. I tried my best to become Professor Johnson's student, but I couldn't."
"That seems to be Addison? Don't you know him? He is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Nanjiang Province this year, with a perfect score of 750. Our school took a lot of effort to recruit him. I guess making him a student of Professor Johnson is also one of the conditions given by the school."
"I don't usually pay attention to the news, but getting a perfect score in the college entrance examination? This is too exaggerated, is he still a human being?"
"This is simply a god! He got a perfect score in the college entrance examination, and now he is a student of Professor Johnson. He will definitely make a name for himself in the biological community in the future."
"Hey, have you noticed that Professor Johnson's attitude towards Addison is completely different from that towards other students. It feels... It was a bit like communicating with him on an equal footing, not treating him as a student at all. "
"It seems to be true, isn't it incredible?"
...
The campus of Tsinghua University (the previous article set Addison to choose Tsinghua University) is very large. After more than half an hour, Addison, led by Johnson, finally arrived at the door of the laboratory.
This is a high-level laboratory of GMP level with strict regulations. Usually only pharmaceutical companies and some top universities are equipped with laboratories of this level.
Addison changed into scientific research clothes and carefully read the precautions before walking into the laboratory with Johnson.
In the laboratory, several doctoral students were busy. Their research topic is to transform stem cells into super stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells can be used to treat leukemia, but there are drawbacks such as limited donor sources and rejection and infection after transplantation due to immune matching problems. Once this project is successful, only a few milliliters of blood samples will be needed to obtain unlimited hematopoietic stem cells, and the problem of clinical immune rejection can be solved, which will undoubtedly be a boon for leukemia patients.
When these doctoral students heard the noise, they all turned their heads and looked at Addison. They were surprised and thought to themselves: "Is this the teacher's new doctoral student? How come he looks so young?"
One of the female doctoral students' eyes lit up: "This junior is so handsome. In the future, we will be senior and junior sisters and meet every day. I should have a chance, right?"
"Everyone come here." Johnson called. After everyone gathered around, he continued: "Let me introduce everyone. This is Addison, my new student. However, he is not a doctoral student, but a freshman who has not yet reported. Although he has a high theoretical level, he has never been to the laboratory before, so you should help him more. In addition, after he is familiar with the laboratory operation, the laboratory will be left for him to use after 8 o'clock every night."
When these words came out, the doctoral students were stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong. Professor Johnson, who has always only recruited doctoral students, actually accepted an undergraduate student, and a freshman who had just finished the college entrance examination and had not yet reported. Not only that, the laboratory time after 8 o'clock every night has to be reserved for this freshman, which is really unreasonable.
Is this freshman's background so strong that Professor Johnson has to look at him differently?
However, as Addison introduced himself, they quickly gave up this idea. Because Addison's family background has long been exposed by the media, searching the name "Addison" on the Internet can jump out more than 5 million results, including his family situation.
After Addison finished his introduction, Johnson enthusiastically took him to visit the laboratory and explained to him how to use some instruments and the operating specifications of the laboratory. At this moment, Johnson's mind was full of Addison verifying the single-base gene editing technology as soon as possible.
Seeing this scene, the doctoral students not far away were full of envy.
"The teacher is too caring for Junior Ai, right? He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he actually introduced the use of instruments to Junior Ai in person." A male doctor muttered sourly. Students who can become Johnson's students are all favored by the gods in the eyes of others. They are usually treated with favor. Seeing Johnson take such good care of Addison, it is inevitable that they feel a little unbalanced.
"Yes, I also think that the teacher is a little partial to Addison. I admit that he can get full marks in the college entrance examination. He is indeed a rare genius, but he has just graduated from high school and has no accumulation. Apart from anything else, can he understand the topic we are studying now? And the teacher also asked us to leave the laboratory time after 8 o'clock in the evening for him. Is the topic he is studying more important than ours? How is this possible? You know, he can't even use the instrument now." Another male doctor was also a little indignant.
"The teacher must have his reasons for doing this, so don't talk about it behind his back." Another female doctor said.
"Cut, you are a face control, just because Ai Xuedi is handsome, you speak for him." Hearing the words of the female doctor, everyone else rolled their eyes.
