Chapter 121 Chapter 120 The second graduation defense in life (69)

Time flew by again, and in a blink of an eye came October 10, which happened to be Monday, and it was also the day when Zhou Ming participated in the graduation defense of his doctoral thesis.

Zhou Ming's name has long been spread throughout the Chinese academic circle, but at least half of the people in the Chinese academic circle have heard of Zhou Ming's name, not to mention the School of Life Sciences of the University of Science and Technology.

Before school started, Zhou Ming made his name known to all the professors, lecturers, and students in the School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China because of him and his mentor Bi Wanfang.

And in September, after only three people came up with two research results in less than a month, this kind of fantasy happened, and the teachers of the School of Life Sciences of HKUST also Everyone knows Zhou Ming's strength.

Therefore, in this graduation thesis defense, the teachers who participated in Zhou Ming's defense actually came here with the intention of meeting Zhou Ming, a legendary student.

It was precisely because there were too many people who were curious about Zhou Ming, although there were six teachers participating in Zhou Ming's defense this time, and there were also many teachers and students who came to watch.

"Is this God Zhou? This is the first time I've seen a living person."

"Nonsense, is it possible that you have seen dead people?"

"I mean I used to see it online, now it's seeing real people in real life."

"Actually, if you really want to see it, you can go to Shuyuan. There is Zhou Shen's office over there. Zhou Shen is usually in the office."

The defense has not yet started, and there are already many onlookers outside looking at the situation inside the house through the small glass on the windows and doors. They are talking to themselves, some are chatting with other people's topics, and some are with their companions, and the chat is also chatting with their companions.

"Hey, it's started, it's started, I'm starting to introduce myself." While these people were chattering, someone said, and when he said this, the people talking outside immediately became quiet, paying attention. They were all placed on Zhou Ming in the classroom.

Zhou Ming, who had already defended himself once a few months ago, released his PPT in a very familiar manner this time. He spent about 5 minutes giving a simple self-introduction and briefly explained the experimental process of his thesis. and the conclusions drawn from the experiments.

"Your paper said that you used local hyperpolarizing current injections to map the subthreshold characteristics of rat and human dendrites at different distances from the soma. Can you introduce this picture to us?" A serious expression The middle-aged defense teacher spoke first.

Zhou Ming answered the teacher's question clearly and rigorously.

"Rodent and human brain tissue are of different origins, and you standardized sectioning methods across species and controlled for many factors, including age, transport, and time since sectioning. However, disease etiology, medications, and anesthesia procedures may influence Dendritic integration. How did you solve this problem during the experiment?" After the first question, a responding teacher asked Zhou Ming a second question.

"Our non-pathological sample was obtained from a cohort of epilepsy patients, but previous studies with a wider range of patient histories and types of surgery failed to observe a link between disease history and dendritic morphology or synaptic plasticity. Dendritic and axonal architecture of single pyramidal neurons spanning the adult human neocortex by Mohan et al. this year and Potential for association plasticity rules at adult neocortical synapses by Verhoog MB et al. in 2013 It is mentioned in Mechanism..."

Zhou Ming once again gave his own answer to the responding teacher's question.

Originally, the teachers would not ask Zhou Ming too many questions in the graduation defense, but since Zhou Ming is the one who is defending today, and Zhou Ming quickly gave a perfect answer to the questions they raised earlier. Their satisfactory answers made these teachers interested, and the questions gradually increased and gradually became broader.

"Why do I gradually lose track of their topics?"

"You don't understand now? I didn't understand Zhou Shen when he introduced his thesis."

"Then how long can you hold on? Are you from the Academy of Biological Sciences?"

"No, I'm from a number of colleges."

"Why did you come to our School of Biological Sciences to listen to your doctoral dissertation defense?"

"Zhou Shen is a professor in our college, isn't it normal for me to come to listen to our professor's defense?"

"I'm not from the School of Biological Sciences either, I'm from the Department of Computer Science."

"Me too, I mean I'm not from the School of Biological Sciences, I'm from the School of Physics."

"Hey, me too. I major in business administration."

"I'm environmental."

"I study astronomy."

The crowd watching outside the house also began to discuss one after another, and the former student of the School of Life Sciences discovered at this time that none of the students around him were from the School of Life Sciences, and he was the only one from the School of Life Sciences.

"Don't you have a School of Life Sciences?" The student said a little speechlessly.

"I am, I'm from the School of Life Sciences." Someone patted the man on the shoulder, and said to this seemingly speechless student from the School of Life Sciences, with some comfort in his tone.

"Why is it that our college has the fewest people in the defense department of the College of Biological Sciences?" Seeing that someone like him is also from the College of Biological Sciences, this student felt better, but he was also curious about the same student. also a student from the School of Biological Sciences asked.

"I don't know, maybe there is a class." The student of the School of Life Sciences who was questioned shook his head and explained.

"I'm stupid, I forgot that I still have classes, so I'm leaving first." As soon as the student finished explaining, the student from the School of Life Sciences immediately remembered that he still had classes, and ran away in a hurry, leaving only The other people stood there dumbfounded, watching the back of the student who was running further and further away gradually disappear around the corner.

clap clap clap...

There was bursts of applause in the defense room, and several defense teachers and teachers sitting in the back seats of the defense room also stood up one after another, and one of them said to Zhou Ming: "Congratulations, classmate Zhou, the defense is over. I have to say, wonderful, really wonderful, your defense is the most wonderful defense I have seen in so many years, and you are also the most thorough understanding of your own experimental research and your own thesis that I have seen One. I can't wait to apply to the school to let you be a professor in our School of Biological Sciences like the other side of the School of Mathematics."

The one who spoke was Zhang Mingjie, the dean of the Academy of Biological Sciences. He was also an academician, a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
