What is the current level of the youth science and technology innovation competition? Answer: PhD thesis level. You must have noticed the recent news. Some elementary school students participated in the competition and took out doctoral-level research papers. You must know the reason behind it. We all hope that the competition will not forget the original intention and not become a “fighting father”.

How strong are the current “back waves” in primary and secondary schools?

After reading the results of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, I am about to close up.

As a result, my jaw dropped…what kind of topics are these?

It turns out that elementary school students have already begun to engage in “6-BA cell division”, “flavonoids”, and “C10orf67”.

The middle school students are also unwilling to show weakness, “responsive nanoparticles”, “spiropyran-pyrene dichromophore”, “kidney tubular IMCD3 cell line”.

Can’t help but think of a sentence from the recent speech “After the Wave” that was popular on the whole network:

However, let’s think about it calmly. Is this really a topic that children at junior high school, or even elementary school level can hold?

Fumbling through the information, digging for people–oh, it turns out that this competition is a “Scientific Parent-Child Relay Baton Contest”.

Why do you say that? Everyone, look at the official and carefully.

Unusual topic difficulty

How difficult is the concept involved in these topics?

Let’s first look at the recently discussed “Skills and Mechanisms of C10orf67 in the Development of Colorectal Cancer”.

According to public information, the author of this study is Chen Moushi, a student from an elementary school in Panlong District, Kunming.

I believe most people’s first reaction to this topic will be-what is C10orf67?

Checked the information online,It turns out that C10orf67 is a gene on human chromosome 10.

In a simpler way of saying, the meaning of this topic is the study of the function and mechanism of a certain gene in the occurrence and development of rectal cancer.

After that, the second question comes-what genes do elementary school students know?

Be aware that for the concept of “gene”, undergraduates need to send it a year to study.

According to the description of this child Chen in his diary, he did not fully understand what genes are at first.

However, in just 4 days, I have reached the state of “understanding the principles of PCR technology and knowing the design of PCR primers”.

Moreover, I also understood the concept of “PCR amplification of mRNA substrates and fluorescent genes”.

Some netizens commented:

The level of this thesis has reached the doctoral level.

I don’t know how to be serious…

Let’s look at another topic that has been recently discussed-“Study on the role of dihydromyricetin in regulating liver lipid metabolism and extracellular matrix production.”

This is the first prize study of the 33rd competition in the middle school category, Is Peng Moushan classmate.

Her research is the same as that of Zhang Xian, a master student of Zhuangshan, in terms of graphs and data.

Furthermore, the instructors are all the same person—Professor Yi, and Zhang’s name also appears among Peng Moushan’s tutors.

However, in the rules of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Achievement Competition, it is clearly stated that the entries should satisfy the “three-self” principle, that is, to choose the topic, design and research, make and write by yourself.

So, whose result is the same data and the same result?

If it is the result of Zhang’s master’s thesis, how did Peng Moushan’s research be shortlisted for this award?

If it is Peng Moushan’s original research, why did Zhang not mention Peng Moushan in his master’s thesis appreciation?

According to the report of The Paper, after calling Zhang’s training unit many times, he failed to get through.

“difficult operation” group

A closer look at classmate Zeng’s “One Work” essay is also very promising.

Not to mention the specific content, it is the last reference, there are as many as 32, of which only 3 are in Chinese.

And in two of the articles, the same person participated-Zeng Mouqin, the weight of reference is also very high.

The dean’s father’s response was:

I didn’t participate, don’t hurt the children.

The response of the Wuhan Association for Science and Technology is:

Students can complete the experiment independently and declare in accordance with the procedures.

Such response aroused heated discussion among netizens.

First of all, according to the “Implementation Rules for the Management of Medical Laboratory Animals”, staff engaged in medical animal experiments must operate with a certificate!

So these two elementary school students, at such a young grade, really hold the “experimental qualification certificate”?

Secondly, the hotly discussed point is the “declaration in accordance with the procedure” responded by the Wuhan Association for Science and Technology.

In the 2017 National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition Competition Rules, it is clearly stated:

Does not accept isolated human or animal tissues, organs, blood and other
