Chapter 206 The Unlucky Person Who Was 'Pit'

More than three hours later, the time has reached 12 o'clock. Usually this time is already a lunch break. There will only be two people watching in the customer service hall. Everyone else can go to lunch, but today's situation is different. Another, Myerson has no way to let his subordinates rest.

Myerson can only ask everyone to keep working.

Soon someone stood up to express their dissatisfaction, and Spogelt was one of them. He stood up and glanced around. His colleagues were in a similar situation to him, and they were constantly talking on the phone to explain patiently.

But he really couldn't take it anymore.

One of the important reasons for Spogelt to do this job is to have enough leisure time. He has a lot of time to rest and have fun, so he can't control that much, and said loudly to Myerson, "I want to rest, I want to rest. !"

Hearing the shouts, the others should also join in.

Myerson hurriedly walked to the stage in front of the hall to keep everyone quiet, and said seriously, "I'm a little busy with work now, I've already ordered lunch for everyone, and it will be delivered right away!"

This sentence doesn't work at all.

Spogelt immediately dissatisfied, "But I can't work like this. My workload today is at least three times as much as before, so I ask for three times the salary, otherwise I will quit!"

"It's so tiring!"

"If I go to another job, I'll definitely get more pay!"

"..."

In the face of a large group of dissatisfied subordinates, Myerson could only smile bitterly, and in his heart he could only be very dissatisfied with a few editors who temporarily changed the nomination of the Science magazine award.

Everything was fine, so why change the nomination of a world scientist? That's all for the change, and one of the tough guys who is quite influential in the world and has many fans, don't they know how much trouble this will bring? Didn't they think of this when they changed it?

"These self-righteous idiots!" Myerson thought.

A job as a customer service executive at Science magazine doesn't require a high degree of education. Myerson graduated from an ordinary college and got through it step by step from an ordinary customer service staff. He usually hates those editors who have high self-esteem. Those guys are at least Ph.D. from various famous universities, which is exactly what he thinks. They are more or less intellectually superior. The tone of looking down on people is on the bright side.

Now, are you in trouble?

To change an award nomination, the other party is still the most influential figure in the world, this is completely self-inflicted trouble.

If so, wouldn't it be better not to nominate before?

Why don't they put Michael Jordan in at TMD, and then change it, when the time comes to the headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It is estimated that they will be smashed by Jordan's angry fans!

fortunately. This guy is a European football coach and his fans are in Europe or China...

But in any case, these troubles are now on his head. Myerson can only try to appease the employees. He doesn't want to have half of his employees leave their posts after this incident, and the trouble will be even bigger.

Fortunately, the work on weekdays is quite leisurely, and the treatment of employees is better. A little more overtime pay can still appease it.

What Myerson didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.

......

After a day. The customer service hall at the headquarters of Science Magazine is still full of phone calls.

Myerson had already reflected on the situation.

In fact, there is no need for him to react at all. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, which is issued by the journal Science, has already received the news, because their other departments have also been affected. This matter has even been stabbed in front of Philip Sharp, the chairman of the Association for the Advancement of Science. One day he received more than a dozen similar messages.

Philip Sharp is a geneticist and molecular biologist, born in the United States in 1944. After graduating from Commonwealth College, he received his Ph.D. He went to work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in 1991 served as the director of the school's biology department.

In 1993, Philip Sharpe was awarded the Jobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his discovery of the broken gene.

Afterwards, Philip Sharp was invited to serve as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and seven years later served as president.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science is the world's largest consortium of science and engineering societies and the largest non-profit international scientific and technological organization. It has 21 professional chapters covering mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, Biology and other natural sciences and social sciences.

Now, they have 265 branches and 10 million members.

Its annual meeting is an important gathering of the scientific community. In recent years, each annual meeting has attracted thousands of scientists and thousands of science journalists.

As the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Philip Sharp's work is still very busy on weekdays. In addition, he has to do his own research, so he can't find time to manage the "Science" magazine.

In Philip-Sharp's view, it was just a journal published by world scientific events, and he didn't know how much to pay attention to it. Only young scientists who wanted to "become famous" or wanted to know more would pay attention to those things.

But what Philip Sharp didn't expect was that today's "Science" magazine found itself in his head, because "Science" magazine is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and he is the chairman of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, so a lot of The news and feedback came to him, and it would be better to say one or two, but there was too much news, and he had to ask.

Philip Sharp quickly learned what was going on, and at the same time scrutinized the dissertation of the young Chinese who had been de-nominated for his thesis on sports recovery theory.

"What a genius idea!"

Philip Sharp is an American geneticist and molecular biologist. His research field is also related to exercise recovery, so he can easily understand what the paper says. After reading the whole content, he also has to. Feeling the genius of the author of the paper, I also know why this young Chinese was nominated for the "Top Ten World Scientists of the Year" with a piece of paper.

But why was he de-nominated again?

Philip Sharp didn't ask directly, but thought about it carefully, and soon he thought of a possible reason, "Maybe they think. This kind of motion recovery theory, some of which can't be verified, may be faked. , false? In addition, its theory is unlikely to become practical application in the short term?”

He understands a little bit.

Sure enough, when Philip Sharp called Ms Marcia McNatt, who was in charge. Got this answer.

But giving an answer doesn't solve the problem. Philip Sharp immediately asked the people in charge to hold a press conference to clarify the matter, because he knew very well that the longer the matter dragged on, the more questions would be raised, and the more unclear it would be.

......

It's not just the American Association for the Advancement of Science that is in trouble. The SEC has also received many complaints against the journal Science.

If it's only a few calls, it's not worth paying attention to, after all AAAS is not a for-profit organization. Science is not published purely for profit, either.

Too many phone calls. They had to ask.

So the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission formed a temporary investigation team to go to the headquarters of Science magazine to investigate whether there was any other inside story.

With the investigation of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the person in charge of this matter had to stand up and make a special statement.

In fact, the inside story is that LeBron Jenson was very dissatisfied with Wansheng, so he found Marcia McNutt to cancel Wansheng's quota, but Marcia McNult, who is quite influential in the scientific community, will definitely not admit this, All she could say was repeating what Philip-Sharp said, "We think. There's something in his theory that can't be proven at all. There may be false parts, and also, even if the theory is correct, it's not intended to be applied in practice. The current level of technology can do it.”

"So we canceled his nomination. In contrast, Sheehan's insect research is more conducive to scientific applications and contributes more to the development of world science."

McNutt then emphasized, "This is not my decision alone, I have no right to change this nomination directly, and Dr. Jake-S-Yeston and Dr. Vaughan-C-Turekian agree with me, we The three made the decision together."

Later, Dr. Jake-S-Yeston and Dr. Vaughan-C-Turekian also came forward to admit it.

In fact, both of them were very dissatisfied with Marcia-McNutt. The selection of "Top Ten Scientists in the World" by Science magazine was a quota proposed by many editors. At that time, Dr. Jake-S-Yeston's nomination for Wansheng was A question was raised, but it was only a question, not a complete denial. At that time, the nomination of 'Wansheng' was also adopted by most people.

It was nothing to worry about. I didn't expect McNutt to find him later and seriously support his point of view. At that time, Dr. Jake-S-Yeston was very happy, because unlike McNutt, in "Science" magazine, he Still just a newbie.

Jake-S-Yeston graduated from Harvard University in 1996. In 2001, he received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and spent several years as a postdoctoral fellow in Germany.

At the time, he wanted to find a job in Washington, so he looked at the CE News job ad every week, and after seeing the Science ad, he thought, I should be good at it, so he applied for a science editing career he had never thought of. .

He was an absolute newcomer to Science's editorial team, so he was so happy to have McNutt's support that he agreed to cancel the nomination with McNutt.

According to the review rules for the content of the journal Science, at least three editors at the director level or above must agree to temporarily change the nomination of an award.

So McNutt found Vaughan-C-Turekian again, and when he heard that Jake-S-Yeston also agreed to the resolution, he agreed without much thought, and the three together canceled the nomination.

In fact, Jake-S-Yeston and Vaughan-C-Turekian didn't know the situation at all and were thrown into the water by McNatra, but the three were canceled together, and now something went wrong, the three are sure Stand up together and explain why.

Because of this, both of them felt that they had been 'pitted' by the old woman McNatt.
