Free Web NovelChapter 362: Chapter 239: Am I Really That Important to Yanhua University?_2
Such influential academic journals would never assist someone in faking information.
Similar to a TV station, some programs might be influenced by top celebrities, but could they influence the overall station? Can they, no matter their level of influence, actually affect the entire station? That would be an enormous reach of power.
Obviously.
A mathematical genius with no background in other fields, doesn’t have such a tremendous influence.
...
The Internet is ablaze with public opinion.
Public opinion doesn’t just stir talk; it can also impact real lives.
As the center of the public’s focus, it would be impossible for the Biomedical Research Institute to do nothing. They immediately clarified the issue on their website.
"Firstly, Zhao Yi is a researcher hired by the Biomedical Research Institute. He manages his own labs and has led teams to complete three projects, including the immunological analysis of rheumatoid arthritis."
"All of Zhao Yi’s papers relate to these completed projects, two of which have been selected for Sci. We are certain that there are no issues with either the project or the papers."
In the meantime.
The Yanhua University School of Life Sciences called for a temporary internal meeting, even the president and vice-president of Yanhua University attended.
The focus of the meeting was on the Biomedical Research Institute.
Both Yan Xuelin and Academician Zheng attended, accompanied by several researchers such as Dai Tianqing and Han Hui.
The straightforward focus of the meeting was to discuss the online buzz about the article, "Top Mathematician is a Biology Genius?", which raised questions about the number of papers published by Zhao Yi, specifically expressing doubts about the number of papers he had published.
This issue doesn’t just concern Zhao Yi personally, but also the Biomedical Research Institute, School of Life Sciences, and indeed, the whole of Yanhua University.
Yan Xuelin confidently stated, "There are no issues with the projects led by Zhao Yi, including the recent project on rheumatoid arthritis. These multi-million-dollar projects are audited."
His point couldn’t be clearer.
If the audit didn’t find any issue, then it was conducted and submitted normally, and publishing some papers was also entirely normal.
Academician Zheng directly stated, "I don’t understand what these online discussions are all about. Is it wrong for someone to be a genius? From that medical conjecture, it is clear that Zhao Yi is a research genius. His thinking is agile, and he has unique insights into experimental projects."
"I reviewed those papers before coming here, and there are no issues."
"If anyone claims there are issues, let them come to me directly."
By the end of Academician Zheng’s strongly worded statement, it was clear that she was somewhat upset. Her words caused the meeting attendees to breathe a sigh of relief.
With Academician Zheng backing them up, what is there to fear?
This obviously means there are no problems.
Given the current swirl of online speculation, with many questioning the authenticity of the papers, the university’s answer, now that they could confirm the papers weren’t faked, is simple--
Be firm!
After the meeting, Yanhua University immediately took a stance, posting a notice on their official website--
In response to recent online discussions about our faculty member, Professor Zhao (Zhao Yi)’s biomedical research papers, our university hereby replies as follows--
First, Professor Zhao’s papers are related to projects he led. The projects have undergone rigorous review by higher authorities, and there is no possibility of any fabrication.
Second, the projects conducted and papers written by Professor Zhao are all frontier biomedical research. Each project, each paper, has contributed to the exploration of biomedicine, and there is no substance to accusations of padding paper count.
Third, to protect the reputation of our university and faculty, we will initiate a lawsuit against the sources of the online discussions using legal means.
The three points, fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Each after another, contains explosive revelations.
The first point states that the papers came from projects that were team-led and audited by a higher authority, which directly links the credibility of the papers with higher authorities.
The higher authority for the Biomedical Research Institute includes national research leaders and the National Scientific Research Fund, which funds the projects. Once these departments are involved, the situation becomes grave.
So the projects and papers have no issues.
The second point is to refute the online discussions about ’padding paper count.’ Many people say that having a lot of papers doesn’t necessarily mean they are credible, with most of them just being fluff. All of Zhao Yi’s papers, however, are at the core of research findings and each one is substantial.
The third point serves as a legal warning.
Yanhua University’s hardline stance immediately set public opinion boiling. Most people hadn’t expected this defiant response to the public opinion from Yanhua University.
In the past, universities faced with negative news, whether management or academically related, mostly chose to suppress public opinion or apologize, etc.
But now... they took a hard stance?
So, is there really no problem here?
Or is it that Yanhua University is trying to protect Zhao Yi... but that said, there’s not much about Zhao Yi that needs protecting. His main field is mathematics, and suspicion about the content of his biological research wouldn’t impact his main field. At most, it would affect his personal reputation.
"So..."
"What is the truth?"
Many people online began to watch closely as the situation developed to this point. Most didn’t dare to jump to conclusions.
...
The author of the article "Top Mathematician is a Biology Genius?" is Ma Weiguo.
