In response to hekko's plea for “more time”, wei wensheng, a researcher at the faculty of life sciences of beijing university, suggested that “the cycle of the experiment is two to three weeksHan chun rainIt will not take too long to prove it.”。
The six-month-old korean spring rain puzzle remains undiscovered。
To this day, openHebei university of technologyOn the website of the college, the term dr. Raccoonsha/hor han chun rain invented the gene scissors is still on the third page, and the latter two news articles are reputable for the publication of the korean spring rains paper in the top-class journal, nature biotechnology (hereinafter “nature”). For five months now, this young scholar has been challenged by the repertoire of experiments。
In recent days, 12 scientists have submitted the results of their experiments to the journal nature, all of which differ from the results of the korean spring rains paper. The press spokesman for the journal responded that many comments had been received on the korean spring rains paper and that criticism, after peer review, might be published。
On 31 october, after more than a dozen telephone calls, the times correspondent finally contacted the korean spring rain himself. He expressed the hope that the scientists who questioned him would discuss it in person with him。
“in august this year, the school's sudden power outage caused total damage to the laboratory's laboratory materials, which kept me passive.” the korean spring rains tone was somewhat imprudent, but it was fast, and he had repeatedly stressed that he was busy and had been followed up by a wave of journalists for six months and that he was tired。
In august this same year, the south korean spring rain revealed that six or seven laboratories had successfully replicated the results of the ngago study, but refused to disclose which ones. In a recent interview with the newspaper chengdu, han chun-rain said, “let me prove my innocence is a clear setup for me”。
“it's just a scientific discussion event, and now i've repeated my experiments. It's just that it's not possible to set a definite deadline, and it's very difficult for scientific experiments to have a definite time requirement.” han chun rain said to times journalist。
Changed by a paper on the “noor prize” not only by former unknown young scholar han chun-rain, but also by the equally unknown hebei university of technology. The two technical colleges, which rank 200 out of the list, have an academic star and have the opportunity to advance into the army。
Although the korean spring rain puzzle is unsolved, the hebei university of technology (hereinafter referred to as "hekoda") is bioengineeringGenetic editorSeventeen of the world's top academic construction projects have been incorporated into the construction of the hebei higher school as the only selected subject for the second level of university。
The lab in the wind
The han spring rain laboratories are located in an old laboratory building at hebei university of technology in the middle school district, with posters in front of them, and in the teacher strength column, with news of the korea spring rain award。
The late autumn weather in the northern plains of china is cold, there are few people in the laboratory, many of the laboratories are open, and the laboratories of han spring rain are locked, empty, the bottles and the vessels are placed in an abnormally neat manner, and the windows are filled with potting plants, which are a few minutes more alive than other laboratories. This cold laboratory, which has brought together school leaders, media journalists and others over the past six months, has been extremely popular。
Han chun-rain's mobile phone was left in the laboratory and was picked up by a student, “senior han and the summit are on business”. He said。
The door of another laboratory in han spring rain suddenly opened and a student came out. This student, with a similar appearance and peak, has some hesitation and vigilance in his face. The student, who was reluctant to reveal his name, stated that he had “not seen mr. Han chun-rain for days”. “now we're busy doing experiments to advance mr. Han's research. Although there are a lot of questions from the outside, mr. Han is behind us, and we don't discuss it.” he said。
The same reaction has been reported among many students met by the times journalists, and there have been reports of high-profile incidents that have been taking place in this old campus. Most of the students' impressions of the korean spring rains came from a paper published in may on the results of the noor prize, and many said that they had not heard of subsequent challenges or expressed support。
One student remembered: “sensei han chun-rain won the award, and it was all on tv, and we all knew it on tv, and it felt like it was the whole school. After questioning, many arguments between teachers and students and challengers can be seen in the korea spring rains poster.”
In response to the korean spring rains incident, hekoda issued a statement on october 14, stating that “an institution has been created to achieve genetic editing” and hoping that the south korean spring rains and their teams will be given some time from outside。
The minister of information, zhang jianqung, said to the times correspondent: “the school is currently waiting for further results of the korean spring rain experiment before making further statements.” he also stated that “this also involves national interests and therefore does not allow for further disclosure”。
In response to hekko's plea for “more time”, wei wensheng, a researcher at the institute of life sciences of beijing university, suggested that “the cycle of the experiment is two to three weeks, and it will not take too long to prove it”。
On 10 october, 12 scholars made public their reputation for not repeating the korean spring rain experiment and calling for a third-party investigation, among them wei wei weng. In may of this year, he also invited han chun-rain to report to kyoto. “we were interested in the results of his experiment and did not want to question him, but only after my own experiment,” he similarly said to the times correspondent, “we are looking for it from a scientific point of view”。
Heco's big pet
In the past six months, most of korea's spring rains and hacos have changed dramatically。
After the presentation of the paper, han spring rain himself became the great “child” of hako, not only did the school leader personally come to the lab to offer condolences to han spring rain, but the student peak was also hired as a teacher by heko. On the following day, the han spring rain was proposed to be added to the school to recommend candidates for special government allowance for 2016。
On 13 july, han chun-rain was elected vice-president of kacu in hebei province and was recommended by heko to be a candidate for the yangtze scholar award scheme in the same month。
On 9 august, the day after nature responded to the korean spring rains incident, the hebei provincial commission for the rehabilitation of the construction of the centre for research and research in the great genetic editing of heco, which received a financial allocation of $224 million. According to press reports, “the equipment purchased was from the korean spring rain and the money came from him”。
On 18 august, the korean spring rain was awarded the title of "the beautiful hebei most american teacher"。
Han chun rain became a pyramid for hebei university of technology. At the opening ceremony of the university of hekei in september 2016, headmaster sun tsuruuk said: “the school has a team of teachers who are seriously responsible for teaching and are innovative in scientific research, especially young teachers like the korean spring rain”
The han spring rain laboratories next door, wangjun, a graduate student in hako, recalled to the times reporter: “senior han's former laboratory was only han spring rain and peak. Since the beginning of school this year, the entire laboratory has suddenly been filled with new people.”
By september, despite growing challenges, the south korean spring rains and hakoda had gained tangible projects and honour through ngago technology。
On 9 september, the korea spring rains project received funding from the 1 million national natural sciences fund; on 21 september, the research centre for genetic editing technology at hebei university of technology opened tenders for the import of equipment at ishibao, with a budget of 1. 58 million; and on 22 september, the korean spring rains became the leader of scientific and technological innovation among the youth of the hako university。
It's not fair
Prior to the publication of the “noor prize” outcome paper, the life trajectory of the korean spring rain was confined to the laboratory。
“senior han comes to the lab early on on a bicycle. Their laboratories are the busiest, weekends and holidays are often the last to turn off the lights, and experiments are still being conducted at 112 p. M.” a graduate student next to the han spring rain laboratory told the times journalist。
After the publication of the paper in may, the korean spring rains tour was full. He made three successive academic presentations at beijing concord hospital, north china and zheda, and in june, he was interviewed by phoenix famous personalities。
According to students at the han spring rain laboratories: “there has been no change in research activities at the han spring rain laboratories. Still doing his own experiments." however, students have also indicated that, after questioning, the number of spring rain visits to laboratories has decreased。
In early august, the korean spring rains responded very quickly to the challenge. For example, on 30 july, just one day after the international scholar bargio challenged, han spring rain, through the media, stated that bargio's blog content was “non-scientific” and that “he can neither do it nor do it, and has nothing to do with us from a scientific point of view”。
Between mid-august and the end of september, the spring rain suddenly disappeared in the eyes of the public. Hekoda has also not received any official response during this period. Until october, this discovery, which was hailed as the nobel prize, was once again pushed to the forefront. On the evening of 10 october, 12 scientists, including wei wen sheng, requested the full raw data of the korean spring rain experiment to be made public。
A teacher from hekko, who was reluctant to reveal his name, expressed his understanding of the korean spring rain to the times correspondent. “scientific experiments sometimes make it impossible to publish all raw data because they involve scientists' own scientific research zl. Scientists have more or less a sense of confidentiality." he said。
One of the 12 scientists, lee jin-soon, researcher at the institute of biochemistry and cellular biology of the central college, said to the times journalist: “the korean spring rains thesis gives only full conclusive results, but all raw data are necessary to repeat his experiments better.” he believes that there will be an authoritative investigation in nature magazine in the near future, “we simply hope that the korean spring rains and heco will take a scientific approach to the matter rather than opt out”。
Why did you prove yourself innocent
In 2014, eight years of korean spring rains, teaching at hakot university, happened to see a paper by dutch scientist john van der oost in nature magazine, reporting that ttago could cut dna in vitro at high temperatures. The korean spring rains were inspired to start using argonaut for genetic editing。
After two years of research, the korean spring rain finally published its own paper on nature, the core of which was ngago-g dna, a new genome-editing technology that replaced the current common crisp-cas9. This result broke the international monopoly on genetic editing and was hailed as a fourth generation genetic editing technology。
When the korean spring rains were still under questioning, the young chinese scientist zhang bing, the third generation leader of genetic editing technology he challenged, was elected “next general leader” (next generation leader) in the times in late october。
The next generation of leaders is an election campaign in the times since 2014 and zhang is the only life scientist on this list。
Zhang zhang zhang zing and han chun rain, both of which are the owners of ishijia zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zing, have been deeply involved in the zl dispute。
At the beginning of september, professor yuyuan of the north and shou feng of the college of central sciences jointly sent a letter to hekkota stating that the korean spring rains incident was “an academic ecological node in china that needs to be taken seriously by the scientific community”
There is a well-known case in japan of the so-called academic ecological nodes. In april 2014, koboko, the japanese institute of science and chemistry, claimed to have discovered multi-energy cells similar to stem cells, known as “gang cells”, but six months later her repertoire of experiments published in nature was questioned, eventually proving that she had failed to produce such cells, becoming an annual scandal in japanese academic circles. In addition to the fact that he was a teacher, he even committed suicide。
In the face of suspicion, the korean rain broke silence again. On this occasion, he expressed his willingness to discuss it in person with the scientists who questioned him。
