Chapter 407: Invited to participate in MRS meeting report

Wei Xingsi continued: "Another thing is that our research team has received an invitation from the beautiful country MRSSpring conference to give a presentation at the conference. The time is next April..."
"MRSSpring conference?" Xu Qiu asked curiously. He now knows a lot about journal literature, but he knows almost nothing about these domestic and international conferences, because there is no channel to obtain this information.
Wei Xingsi shook his hand and motioned Xu Qiu to look at his computer screen, which was the publicity interface of next year's MRS Spring Spring conference.
Afterwards, Wei Xingsi explained patiently while paddling the mouse:
"The MRS conference is the world's top academic conference in the material science field. Every year, the organizer invites leaders in all fields of the material science field to report. Its full name is'Materials Research Society', which is the beautiful country materials science research association. The two annual conferences are in spring and autumn, so they are called'MRSSpring' and'MRSFall' conferences."
"The next spring meeting will be in early April next year, in Phoenix, Arizona. The meeting will last six days."
"The MRS conference covers a very wide range and has several large sections, including fields that have a wide-ranging impact in the near future, characterization and modeling, electronics and optics, energy and sustainable development, nanomaterials and quantum materials, soft and biological materials, and structures. Materials, etc., for example, we belong to the'energy and sustainable development' sector, and further subdivided, it can be divided into dozens of subdivisions."
"If you want to participate in the MRS conference, the proportion of scholars directly invited by the organizer is very small. Most of them apply by themselves. This is divided into three categories."
"The first type is only intended to listen to the report in the past. This type only needs to pay a registration fee. For students, it is relatively cheap. I remember it is $150 per person. For teachers, the fee will be more expensive, which is several hundred larger. , Nearly 1,000 dollars. Therefore, I encountered some people who didn’t pay, but the key was discovered later and the registration fee was paid."
Having said this, Wei Xingsi laughed, and after a while, he continued:
"The second type is to report at the conference. You can submit an abstract to the organizer. Similar to the submission of a paper, the organizer will select a part of the submission and give them the opportunity to report. However, this kind of self-application Even if the report is passed, there will not be too long a report time, usually only 15 minutes."
"The last category is poster submission, which is similar to report submission. You can summarize your work on a poster and submit it to the MRS organizer. The organizer will also select a part from it. There will be poster exchanges and posters. Awards."
"When I was working at NREL, a beautiful country, I attended this conference twice a year, but I didn’t participate as an invited scholar, but I signed up myself. This time I was taken in your light and became an invited Scholars, you have half an hour to report, and the topic is the ITIC series of molecules you developed."
Wei Xingsi suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, Xu Qiu, should you talk about the MRS report this time?"
"I'm coming..." Xu Qiu hesitated for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Debriefing at top international conferences is a rare exercise opportunity. The most taboo thing in scientific research circles is working behind closed doors. With the deepening of research in the future, there will be more and more exchanges between Xu Qiu and his colleagues. Now there are ready-made ones. Opportunity can exercise himself, he has no reason to shrink.
"Okay, I will listen below when the time comes. If there are any problems or emergencies, I will help you." Wei Xingsi nodded in satisfaction.
Afterwards, Wei Xingsi raised another question: "In addition to you, I plan to take another person in the group. Who do you think is more appropriate?"
I plan to bring another person, it seems a bit difficult...
There are currently 13 people in the laboratory, except for myself and the four new undergraduates.
For the remaining eight people, Sun Wo, Duan Yun, and Mo Wenlin are first excluded. The first two are completely irrelevant to Xu Qiu's field. The latter is from Gong Yuanjiang, and it is definitely not appropriate to bring them there.
The remaining Wu Feifei, Chen Wanqing, Tian Qing, Wu Shengnan and Han Jiaying, if they do not take selfish consideration, it is really difficult to choose...
Wu Feifei is the big housekeeper in the group, this kind of good thing about going abroad to play, definitely can't directly exclude her;
Chen Wanqing is the veteran of organic photovoltaics in the group and cannot be ruled out;
Wu Shengnan is a postdoc and one of the founders of the ITIC system, which cannot be ruled out;
Han Jiaying has a special status and is also one of the founders of the ITIC system, which cannot be ruled out;
Tian Qing can be regarded as having a touch with organic photovoltaics, but in terms of priority, she is the lowest priority among the five people.
But even if Tian Qing is eliminated, there are still four people left.
And the most important thing is that these four people are all girls...
If it's a girl, this involves booking a hotel.
Three people must book two hotels. Taking into account the gender factor, Xu Qiu and Wei Xingsi can only squeeze a room, and the sister will have a separate room.
Instead of this, why not bring another girl?
‘However, there is another issue to consider, that is, Teacher Wei is not necessarily willing to squeeze a room with me...’
Thinking of this, Xu Qiu said: "Several candidates on my side, Wu Feifei, Chen Wanqing, Wu Shengnan, and Han Jiaying are all girls, just for accommodation..."
Wei Xingsi was stunned for a moment, lost in thought, and said after a while: "This is indeed a troublesome thing, because if I go to a beautiful country, I have to go to Bazan to make an interview report and stay with them for about three days. Bazan is at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).
"Therefore, I will not attend the MRS meeting the whole time. The two of us will definitely not live together. There are only five-star hotels near the MRS meeting place. The cheapest one costs more than $300 a night, which means it is best if you and Another person lives in a room." Wei Xingsi exhaled a long breath and said, "There are many female students in the group, so it's really a troublesome thing, otherwise you and Han Jiaying..."
Before Xu Qiu could react, Wei Xingsi shook his head again, denying his previous thoughts, and said, "This is not very good. Bring one more... Well, just two, Feifei Wu and Feifei Han, and it's just right to take Wu Feifei. Let her also listen to lectures on perovskite and thermoelectricity. Then you will live in a single room and the two of them will live in double rooms. What do you think?"
"Yes." Xu Qiu nodded. Teacher Wei said that it made sense. It is still necessary to take Wu Feifei over.
As for the other candidate, from Xu Qiu’s perspective, he definitely hopes to be a school girl. He went to a beautiful country for more than a week. It is impossible to listen to the report all the time. It is equivalent to traveling abroad with the school girl. That's it.
"Yes," Wei Xingsi nodded, "For organic, you can give a PPT and summarize the recent work of ITIC. Then, for perovskite, I will ask Feifei Wu to submit a poster. I can't go there empty-handed."
After a pause, Wei Xingsi continued: "In addition, you are about to start applying for passports and visas. For the passports, you can get them first. You can apply for them at the Mordu Entry-Exit Bureau with your ID card. As for visas, just It’s more troublesome. First, you have to wait for the passport to be issued, and then you need to prepare a series of materials. After I send your names to the MRS organizer, they will reply with an invitation letter. You can use this invitation letter as Let’s prepare visa materials based on the basics."
"Okay." Xu Qiu nodded.
Wei Xingsi took out a box of honey grapefruit tea from the refrigerator, handed it to Xu Qiu, and asked casually: "How is the review of "Joule" written~EbookFREE.me~Welfare] Give you a cash red envelope! Follow vx public [ Book Friends Base Camp] to receive it!
"It's about 30-40% completed. The difficulty of writing this review is not too high." Xu Qiu responded.
"Of course it's simple for you. It's mainly our work." Wei Xingsi smiled happily, and then said: "By the way, for that key project, regarding the introduction of nitrogen atoms, I have listed the general framework. You See if there is anything to add."
After speaking, Teacher Wei copied the file with a USB flash drive and handed it to Xu Qiu: "Nothing else, you can call Feifei Wu for me."
Xu Qiu returned to 216, walked to Wu Feifei's table, and tapped the table: "Wu Feifei, Teacher Wei, look for it."
Feifei Wu stopped the codeword hands and raised her head: "What's the matter?"
Xu Qiu deliberately shut down: "Good things, you will know when you go."
Wu Feifei showed a puzzled look: "It's mysterious, what's the matter, I haven't had any article comments to come back recently. What will it be?"
After Wu Feifei left, Xu Qiu shared with others in the group: "Next year's MRS spring meeting, our group will receive an invitation from the organizer. At that time, Teacher Wei will take me, Feifei Wu and Jiaying Han to the beautiful country. ."
Duan Yun was the first to react: "What time is it?"
Xu Qiu said: "April 1st to 7th ~ EbookFREE.me~ The meeting time is from 2nd to 6th."
Duan Yun cheered and said, "It's great, then we can have a holiday when the time comes."
Xu Qiu somewhat admired Brother Duan Yun’s concern. Whenever he can paddle on the water, he wouldn’t worry that the absence of his tutor would affect his graduation...
Han Jiaying answered, "Really, is this a trip abroad?"
"That's right," Xu Qiu nodded: "I just looked at the location of the venue. It's in a corner of Phoenix, but there should be a chance to go to the surrounding downtown (central business district), and the Grand Canyon. I probably won’t be able to go to the place."
Others have different expressions, Mo Wenlin, Sun Wo, Wu Shengnan, and Chen Wanqing are all calm.
Mo Wenlin and Sun Wo were calm, because this matter had nothing to do with them. Wu Shengnan was calm as always. The senior sister liked the house and didn't like running around, and had no interest in going abroad for a short time.
Tian Qing was originally doing experiments in the Lijian laboratory, but when he heard the news, he ran out and joined the discussion team on twitter.
