“Hey, how are you? Professor Hyun!”
A man with a commercial smile on his lips. It was Professor Lim Hak-jin, who was appointed as the secretary of the planning committee.
He is a professor in the Department of Basic Medicine, Shinkuk University College of Medicine, and since he has quite a bit of experience in planning meetings to derive national research tasks, he said that he took on the role of secretary this time as well.
“haha! Professor Hyun, have you done this a lot at work?”
Professor Lim Hak-jin asked with a smile.
Then Professor Hyun Ji-heung shook his hand, saying no.
“Ah, I was the head of a research institute at a pharmaceutical company, but I still lack a lot. ha ha ha! So Professor Lim, please help me a lot in the future.”
“What? Would you mind if I didn’t say anything else? When the meeting starts, I will explain the meeting schedule, so you will understand roughly when you see it then. really! I heard that K-Pharma Korea is preparing for the clinical trial of a good new drug. You were also involved in that work, right?”
“Oh, is that it? What are the directors of the research institute, aren’t they all like that? I have no choice but to get my hands on everything. But these days, the company is more difficult. Upstairs, I keep asking what the research lab’s performance is. Then, the head of the research institute like me has nothing to do but call the team leaders and ask for it. I’ve been to school now, but I still don’t know much about this and that. I don’t know if I’ll be stuck in school for more than three or four years. Oh, Professor Lim! I’m now on a two-year contract, and I need to get a tenure within two years. Did Professor Lim get a tenure? and! Seriously, these days I’m going crazy because of my thesis.”
Then, Professor Lim Hak-jin’s mouth went up.
Professors who came to school at a late age because they came from a company.
It is common for most of them to become beggars (?) for thesis like Professor Hyun Ji-heung.
Schools want SCIE-level papers.
I couldn’t adapt right away because I didn’t pay much attention to such things while I was the head of the research institute.
In addition, there are many such professors who are good at teaching.
This is because, compared to young professors who are agile in reflecting students’ opinions, they generally lack quickness.
“Oh, why are you like this? current professor. You will do well in the future.”
“No, that’s not it… Hey, maybe, Professor Lim!”
“yes?”
Meanwhile, Professor Hyun Ji-heung sneaks closer.
“By any chance, would you like to write a thesis with me? I’ll help you with anything. ah! It’s not like this, do you need company research funds? I can relate very well to that.”
At that moment, Professor Lim Hak-jin’s expression completely changes.
Mr. Ai, this baby is revealing a thesis.
On the other hand, Professor Lim Hak-jin thought so and his eyes grew cold.
He is doing that to get a paper by doing this.
So Professor Lim Hak-jin immediately shook his head.
Why did you say that to yourself like an idiot?
In fact, medical schools do not produce papers as well as expected.
Of course, there are some top-notch medical school professors who publish top-tier academic papers with an impact factor of over 40 points.
The number of papers per individual published each year by most medical school professors is mediocre.
In particular, it was more like that at Shinkuk University College of Medicine, where Professor Lim Hak-jin is working. After all, it is not a major medical school.
“haha! current professor. What can I do to help you?”
After speaking so eloquently, Professor Lim Hak-jin immediately turned his head.
Someone else entered the conference room.
At that moment, he moved in that direction.
“Ah, Professor Park! Are you here?”
In the wind, Professor Hyun Ji-heung stopped the conversation, made an expression like chewing shit, and then stepped back.
Meanwhile, Hyeon-jun came first and sat on one side, then stood up quietly when Professor Hyeon-heung approached.
Still, a senior professor in this field.
So it’s polite.
“Oh, but who are you?”
Hyun Joon is a professor at the College of Pharmacy.
But just because you’re a professor at a pharmacy school doesn’t mean you know all the professors at a pharmacy school.
Even within the pharmacy, if the major is different, it is inevitable.
So Hyun-jun immediately handed over his business card and introduced himself.
#
“Ah, Professor Choi? haha, nice to meet you I’m local. By the way, Dean Kim Ryun-ki is there, right? Dean Kim Ryun-gi is my junior.”
At the same time, a man who secretly put forward his age.
Hyeon-jun answered with a smile because he was used to this kind of teaching culture.
“Yes, do you? professor. Nice to meet you.”
After that, Hyunjoon didn’t open his mouth anymore.
It was because I had secretly listened to the conversations the two of them were having a while ago.
Of course, not all professors who were former directors of the company’s research institute were like that, but there were also people like Hyun-Heung Hyun, so Hyeon-Jun’s feelings of rejection immediately appeared.
In other words, it’s just a thesis.
He didn’t know how to write a thesis, so he seemed to be frantic trying to get a thesis anywhere. Perhaps after a while, you will either find a thesis partner professor that suits you, or you will find yourself constantly trying to find your own way after being disappointed.
But doing it yourself will never be easy. This is because the characteristics of such professors are not full-time doctoral programs, but mostly part-time doctoral programs, which are close to the concept of a kind of money doctor.
Of course, I would have taken each class to earn credits after paying the graduate school registration fee.
However, this is because they are completely different from full-time regular students who conduct experiments day and night.
As a result, there are many cases where students just barely meet the number of SCIE-level thesis presentations required for doctoral graduation even when they actually graduate.
On the other hand, full-time general students far exceed the minimum requirements, and it often happens that the number of published SCIE-level papers is 2 times, or even 5 times or 10 times of them.
Of course, their experience cannot be ignored in the field of commercialization research related to product development. However, it was a clear fact that the moment they became university professors, they were very inferior in their own creative research direction.
“Then, Professor Choi. Professor Choi, what kind of research are you doing these days?”
On the other hand, Hyeonjun also answered very simply this time.
Then the question came up again.
“Oh, is that so? But these days, young professors are very upset because there is no research funding. haha! How is Professor Choi? Aren’t you short on research funds?”
The opponent who keeps searching for skewers.
Hyeon-joon understood the intention, so he answered very simply this time.
“Well, fortunately I’m fine so far.”
“Oh yeah?”
I heard a voice of regret right away.
And at this very moment, Hyeon-jun stood up again.
Professor Seungbong Park, who greeted Professor Hakjin Lim a while ago.
He came over to the seat.
This time, Hyunjun handed him his business card, shook his hand, and greeted him like that.
In fact, the planning committee itself is composed mainly of middle-level members.
Although it is called the new drug field, the new drug field itself is so wide that various professors have no choice but to participate in this committee.
So Hyeon-joon was also the first person to see Professor Park Seung-bong.
For instance, it is like this.
Numerous medical school clinical professors have a common denominator of treating people, but aren’t their fields very diverse, such as neurosurgery, respiratory medicine, and orthopedic surgery?
Each new drug has its own characteristics, so experts are inevitably different.
“Ah, are you Professor Hyunjun Choi? By the way, how is Professor Bae Sang-gi over there?”
This time, he is suddenly asking after Professor Bae Sang-gi.
Hyunjoon forced a smile and replied.
“yes. I’m fine.”
“Haha, I’m in class with Professor Bae Sang-gi.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Hyunjoon nodded slightly this time. This is because Professor Park Seung-bong also greets in a similar way to Professor Hyun Ji-heung.
But his words continued to grow more and more strange.
“Oh, I heard that Professor Bae is about to go public soon. boy! Even though I said I would invest in the past, they cut it off like a knife. Seriously, it’s boring! ah! Fortunately, I was involved in other ventures, so this time I ate a little big with stocks. haha! ha ha ha!”
what, stock?
Did you eat big with stocks?
However, because he smiled so brightly, Hyeonjun couldn’t understand at all.
How the hell do you make money doing that?
And at this time, another person came up and suddenly said this.
“Ah, is Professor Park here? But Professor Park! Don’t you need to buy some rice soon? I heard you made billions of won in stocks?”
“Oh, Professor Lee! I was going to tell you even if you don’t. I was really lucky. It was a small venture, but at the beginning of its establishment, it moved together. Why is this listed on the KOSDAQ? It suddenly happened. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“That would be nice. I wish. I’m so jealous of you! Ah, so this is Professor Choi Hyun-joon, right?”
“yes. I am Hyunjun Choi.”
Hyeon-jun greeted Professor Ki-young Lee who had just appeared and handed over his business card.
Professor Lee Ki-young is the person who took over as the chairperson of this planning committee. A middle-aged professor whose hair has turned white before he knew it.
However, the neck of Professor Lee Ki-young in front of him looks exceptionally stiff.
Generally, among university professors, there are some professors who have a somewhat stiff neck, or, to be precise, a slightly raised head.
The reason why he secretly takes a high-handed attitude is probably because he thinks he is very good.
However, Professor Lee Ki-young in front of me was exactly like that.
“Oh, come to think of it, I think we met briefly at the conference back then?”
“yes. you’re right. professor.”
Then Professor Lee Ki-young smiled right away.
And with that over, he took his eyes off young Hyeon-jun as if he had nothing to do with it.
From then on, we started talking while looking only at Professor Seungbong Park.
“Professor Park! So, do you still know a lot of people in the company? I want to do some joint research with that company…”
“Well, I know the people there. But what kind of research are you going to do?”
And from then on, Professor Lee Ki-young and Professor Park Seung-bong start talking among themselves.
Hyunjoon quietly fell to the side.
In fact, since Hyun-joon was appointed as a professor, he has been involved in various academic activities.
It was the first such planning committee.
So it’s a bit unfamiliar.
On the other hand, since all of the committee members are made up of middle-level professors, it has become a bit awkward to have a conversation.
It must be because of the Korean Confucian culture.
and after a while
Even Professor Dong-yoon Han, who was relatively young in his early 40s, and Professor Hee-Jung Lee, who was in his mid-30s, appeared.
As the committee members gathered, Professor Lee Gi-young finally began to make a brief oral presentation on the purpose of the committee as chairperson.
