Chapter 431 Is it still too late for me to say that I am not his teacher?

Although Wells and Cleese found it difficult to accept that Lu Cheng was still taking the medical statistics exam, after about half a minute, they struggled to accept this cruel fact.

Yu Youlin suggested: "Professor Wells, Professor Kress, I'm very sorry that Lu Cheng can't come to receive you now."

"But there are two VIP lounges next to here, so I have to trouble you to go there and rest for a while."

"We will serve you tea or coffee, or a Coke."

After Yu Youlin saw the work IDs of Wells and Cleese, he directly received them as the most distinguished guests.

It can be said that whether it is a comprehensive university in China or some of the top well-known universities abroad, they are very happy to make friends with top magazines like JAMA. After all, if you get familiar with it, you will be more familiar with the scientific research in the school.

It is of great help for people to publish articles and enhance the reputation and comprehensive strength of each college.

It's getting late now. Yu Youlin has notified the hospital office group. It is estimated that people from the Scientific Research Department and the Graduate School of the Second Xiangya Hospital will come to receive them soon and have some academic and daily discussions with Wells and Kress.

communication.

What Yu Youlin can do now is to try his best to meet the requirements of Wells and Cleese, do his best to serve as a landlord, and do a good job of entertaining.

Lu Cheng is taking an exam, so we can't let Lu Cheng not take the exam.

Each comprehensive university has its own examination.

Wells and Cleese looked at each other, and then Wells suggested: "It's okay, Doctor Yu, you don't have to be so polite."

"The main reason is that we didn't agree on a specific time with Lu in advance before we came."

"But I still have a humble request. Could you please ask if the person in charge of the current medical statistics examination, or the professor who teaches Lu Cheng's medical statistics, is nearby?"

"If possible, I hope to discuss some issues with him."

"To be honest, we made a special trip to China this time and came to Shashi because we wanted to discuss some data-related issues with Lu."

After Yu Youlin listened, although he didn't understand the meaning very accurately, he nodded immediately and said: "Professor Wells, please go to the VIP room and wait for a while. I still have to ask this question."

"Although under normal circumstances, during the examination of the corresponding subject, there are subject teachers who are in charge of invigilating the examination in the examination room, but the professor who teaches Lu Cheng may not be present. He may be his assistant or someone from the research team."

"I also need to inquire."

"Thank you!" Wells felt that Yu Youlin's explanation was very reasonable.

But in fact, what Yu Youlin did not say was that the medical statistics professor at the Second Xiangya Hospital was invited from Xiangya Medical College. This time the examination was organized, and it was not necessary for the teacher to be present.

But it doesn’t matter if you’re not there. I guess the professors of statistics would also like to discuss some issues with Wells and Kress.

After bringing Wells and Cleese into the lounge, Yu Youlin immediately went to the nearby office of the graduate department where the lights were still on and told Wells about his request to see the medical statistics teacher.

There was no need to mention it, so we arranged it immediately and made a phone call.

Medical statistics is a large course, taught in chapters by two professors and one associate professor.

All three people received the call. After confirming the true identities of Wells and Cleese, they just briefly searched JAMA's editorial list online and responded immediately if they had time.

This is not to flatter others, but mainly because Wells and Kress must have their own unique understandings and can discuss many academic issues since they can become editors of JAMA.

The three of them all said that if they had time, they would rush to the postgraduate department of the Second Hospital immediately. The fastest person could arrive there in ten minutes.

After Yu Youlin asked Wells and Cleese whether they wanted drinks, he served them two cups of Chinese specialty tea. The only one in the office was Longjing. Regardless of whether they could drink it or not, as soon as the tea was placed, they

Started chatting.

The main purpose was to ask Wells and Cleese if they had accommodation arrangements and whether they had food. In addition, they also responded to the suggestion from the teachers in the scientific research department in the hospital office group, hoping that Professors Cleese and Wells would take time to come to the hospital.

If you teach a class here, the class fee can be paid according to high international standards.

As editors of JAMA, Wells and Kress are very clear about where the front-end development of various medical fields in various countries is. They can summarize the article requirements published by their editorial department, as well as the popular development directions in the future. Please do not ask for this.

opportunity.

However, it was a pity that Wells and Kress did not agree to the request for teaching, saying that they came mainly with a mission.

Soon, the first professor of medical statistics arrived in the office and introduced himself very enthusiastically in English.

Qian Wei, currently an associate professor in the Department of Medical Statistics at Xiangya Medical College, previously studied in the United States for two years, so although his English is not that authentic, it is much better than Yu Youlin.

Wells turned out to be a native of San Francisco, California, where Qian Wei studied abroad, and he also studied for a master's degree at Stanford University, where Qian Wei studied abroad. So the two of them talked about some more interesting local characteristics.

During this process, Yu Youlin stood beside him.

Cleese was also quite a gentleman and waited until Wells and Qian Wei were almost chatting before he explained the purpose of his visit: "Professor Qian, actually the purpose of our coming to Shashi is to find Lu Cheng from the Second Xiangya Hospital. To find him

Let’s discuss the data aspects of an article he submitted to our editorial office.”

"Then we heard from Doctor Yu that Lu Cheng is your student, and now Lu Cheng is taking the medical statistics exam. So we just want to discuss it with you, is it okay with you?"

Lu Cheng?

Qian Wei had only heard about it. As for whether he was his student, Qian Wei really didn't know. Anyway, he had never called his name, and he had never heard from any students that this influential figure came to class.

Lu Cheng doesn't even go to class.

But Lu Cheng was able to submit the article to JAMA's editorial department and have two editors fly thousands of miles to Shashi to find him. This proves that Lu Cheng is really capable.

If it comes to questions related to Lu Cheng's major, Lu Cheng is an orthopedic surgeon and Qian Wei has heard about it, so he has nothing to say.

But if it’s just a question about the data in the article, Qian Wei thinks he can still take a look.

But Qian Wei is an authentic Chinese and has a humble instinct. He still said: "This is no problem. I can discuss it with the two professors. But Professor Wells, you have to know that Lu Cheng is an orthopedic doctor.

, so the topics he did were related to orthopedics.”

"I didn't participate in his research group, so I may not be able to solve it."

Wells and Kress were able to come to Shashi for the data in Lu Cheng's article, which is in line with the pragmatic and truth-seeking nature of JAMA's editorial department, and is worthy of JAMA's position as the top journal in the world.

For some domestic journals, if you don’t understand the data in the article, you can explain it yourself. If you still can’t understand it, bye bye.

This is the difference in academic atmosphere and habits.

Wells and Kress were obviously fully prepared. They printed out Lu Cheng's article and printed multiple copies. They took out three copies in total and handed a blank copy to Qian Wei.

Then he took out a copy of the full text of the article with multiple annotations and pointed it out to Qian Wei one by one.

Qian Wei just flipped through the data in the article and immediately panicked.

He really wanted to say, damn, I don’t have a student like Lu Cheng, but everyone is already sitting here, so there is nothing I can do, just rely on your own knowledge and watch it slowly, at least until Professor Qi and Professor Zhou

Only two people can come.

Then give up your seat!

"Professor Wells, Professor Kress, can I skim this article first?"

"Of course!" Wells and Kress also felt that Qian Wei was more pragmatic.

Then he sat down and waited in a very gentlemanly manner...

Qian Wei was silent, patiently looking through the English literature. He had no problem reading, he knew all the numbers, and he also knew the principles of statistics, but there was just one part that he didn't understand very well, and then he understood it more and more...

I am just a professor of statistics. When were these complex mathematical formulas invented...

Fifteen minutes later, Qian Wei was still silent.

Finally, Professor Qi Lin and Professor Zhou Fanwen of Medical Statistics also arrived at the battlefield. Qian Wei immediately stood up to greet him with relief, and then took the initiative to act as an interpreter: "Professor Qi, Professor Zhou, these two are Professor Kress

and Professor Wells, from the editorial board of JAMA."

"They came here mainly to discuss with us an article submitted to them by students from our hospital. Well, the original text of the article is here, and these are the annotations of two professors."

Qi Lin wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He pushed them up slightly and glanced at Qian Wei, who was trembling a little. He felt secretly in his heart. Is there something wrong with this kid?

I rarely see him looking for advice.

Then Qi Lin's eyes sank to the article and immediately sank.

After watching it for a few minutes, Professor Zhou Fanwen asked Qian Wei in a strange tone, specifically in Chinese: "Is this Lu Cheng? Is he from our school? Is he a student of ours?"

"Yes, I checked the student list, but it seems I haven't attended any classes." Qian Wei nodded, very sure.

"Professor Zhou, Professor Qi, your tea is a bit cold, I'm going to change it for you." After saying that, he ran out of the lounge, feeling panicked inside.

Okay, I can finally come out and get some air.

Professor Zhou, Professor Qi, it’s great to have you.

Two minutes later, Qian Wei discovered that Professor Zhou also came out of the bathroom to 'sprinkle' water. When he entered the bathroom, he lit a cigarette first.

Qian Wei didn't have the habit of smoking, but he was very embarrassed when Zhou Fanwen found him hiding in the toilet.

"Professor Zhou, um, the articles written by students in our school are quite acceptable. Even people from the JAMA editorial department came to do it in person."

"Professor Zhou, you teach well." Qian Wei showed his human sophistication to its peak at this moment.

"Shit!" Zhou Fanwen said angrily.

"Have you read it in advance? Did you see any problems?"

Qian Wei was about to cry: "Professor Zhou, I couldn't understand half of it. I couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't finish it."

"Don't you think there are still two teachers here?"

"I'll make tea!"
