It is understandable that everyone hopes that China can produce some Nobel Prize-level results, but Han Chunyu said: "Researchers should not be presumed guilty. Why should I prove my innocence? Am I sick?" That's not right! You posted the paper! Isn’t it possible to ask if others can’t do it? Can't question it? During the video interview, Han Chunyu was indeed a little crazy. He said: "If I hadn't done it, could I have been so calm? Whoever hasn't done it, please use academic argumentation to question it with your real name, and don't use a vest to post in the forum... If these people who can't do it are willing to disclose their names, we will let those who have successfully repeated the experiment reveal their real names..." Saying such words in the video makes people feel that he has really done it. If these professors don't have their real names, wouldn't they become the trolls who use vests to post posts in the forum as Han Chunyu said? This is no longer an academic argument, but has been provoked into an academic confrontation!
But later more than a dozen professors questioned Han Chunyu according to his real name, and he changed his mind again! At first, it was said that more than 20 companies had done it, then it became 6 companies, and finally it became 1 company, which was still unwilling to announce it. At first, it claimed that the success rate of the experiment was very high, but then it kept decreasing... As a university associate professor, speaking Can you be more rigorous? It is also said that cell necrosis caused by power outage is very passive. Even if the power goes out for a whole day, it’s not necessarily all bad, right? Can't it be re-cultivated? A professor of biology at a prestigious university doesn’t even have a liquid nitrogen tank? Although the laboratory conditions in many universities are indeed very crude, with storage rooms and laboratories combined into one, large turnover of personnel, and serious pollution, this is only limited to ordinary college students. Many professors' key experimental projects will definitely be carried out in independent laboratories, especially at Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Are the conditions still bad? Those are all state key laboratories! What is the probability that they are all contaminated?
Some people speculate that Han Chunyu may want to apply for a patent and deliberately keep it secret. Even if there is such consideration, it should at least be explained, right? Say nothing! Just emphasize that the cells are contaminated! If there are other conditions, whether it is temperature, pH value, serum, bacteria, mycoplasma, light, electric shock, operating environment... As long as you can tell what is wrong, professors from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences will definitely be able to improve it! But he repeatedly emphasized that the cells were contaminated! It is said online that one experiment cost tens of thousands of yuan, or tens of millions of dollars around the world. This description is too exaggerated, but each professor has multiple students to conduct multiple experiments, fail - repeat - fail - repeat. The cost of reagents consumed by this process + The cost of cleaning and disinfection + the cost of one or two weeks of time, it’s worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?
And later, some professors sent one of their assistants to Han Chunyu to see the results. You should at least produce the lab report, right? Didn’t write it! Then let me do the experiment, right? During a power outage, all cells become necrotic! How many days will it take to get it done? have no idea! Can you come again next time? Not necessarily available! What does this make people say... If you deliberately conceal key details so that others can't do it, show off your ability, belittle your peers and elevate yourself, it is also called academic misconduct! Therefore, the Peking University professor said that Han Chunyu was at least academically dishonest, which is very polite! If ordinary people want to curse! Dignified professors from Peking University, Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences were being toyed with for wasting their time!
Hwang Woo-suk of South Korea also made a fake claim, claiming to be stem cell cloning. His paper involved asexual reproduction of female egg cells, but he couldn’t tell after it was done. He repeatedly used forged pictures to prove that it was stem cell cloning. This shows that There is something wrong with his ability. However, after much questioning and argumentation, other researchers discovered other results, which can be considered as a certain contribution to human society! But Han Chunyu doesn't allow others to question, which is a bit unreasonable!
In addition, according to the internal forum of Hebei University of Science and Technology, it is said that Gao Feng tinkered with a project casually in order to publish some papers to gain credits. A previous classmate studied for half a year without results, but Gao Feng produced results within one month. Part of the content was fabricated based on speculation. Han Chunyu agreed to publish it without seriously verifying it. Generally speaking, if students are not high-level and publish papers in a certain journal, they will choose some papers that no one pays attention to and have little value and send them to multiple journals in an effort to get extra points by publishing them a few times. However, Gao Feng doesn’t understand how influential this achievement will be. It was sent out, this possibility is indeed quite high.
PS: Regardless of whether this experiment is true or false, Hebei University of Science and Technology received more than 200 million in financial allocations, Han Chunyu himself gained an increase in popularity, and with the help of the media/netizens, he stepped on many A kick from a professor from Peking University/Tsinghua University.
The funniest thing is the experimental paper on zebrafish gene knockdown jointly published by Fudan University and Nantong University. Originally this article was meaningless, but because it was related to Han Chunyu's experiment, it was published in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In "Cell Research", he made a small appearance. Others will say, can such an article be published? Why didn't I think of that! ! !
