Chapter 1678: Chapter 1682: Chen Cang Prevails on a Narrow Path! (Third Update)
Time flows by day after day!
A week really isn’t long.
However, this matter is fermenting.
Day by day, it’s getting more flavorful!
More and more people are getting involved.
Chen Cang also saw this news online.
To be honest, he felt bad when he saw it too.
One could say he empathized.
To the extent that... he almost wanted to muster the courage to leave a comment below telling this brother not to lose heart, everything will be alright!
But when he thought carefully, he realized he’s already heard this kind of talk enough.
Talking about the future, dreams, can you actually deliver something, prove it with results!
Any promise about emotional attachment without touching on the conditions is just nonsense!
So, Chen Cang didn’t reply immediately!
He held back!
The third day.
Chen Cang didn’t go to work but instead used his connections to directly contact the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine.
He went straight to the point:
"Hello, Mr. Yotel, I’m Chen Cang, and I’d like to submit a paper!"
Yotel was taken aback by Chen Cang’s straightforwardness!
It only took him three seconds to recall who Chen Cang was before making a decision!
"The earliest issue is the day after tomorrow, I can arrange it today, Professor Chen, do you have any requests?"
Chen Cang nodded and said, "I want the cover!"
After hearing Chen Cang’s words, this time Yotel didn’t agree directly, but said, "Let me see the article first, send it to me."
Chen Cang nodded, "Okay, I’ll send it to your email now, Mr. Yotel, please hurry, my time is limited, I’m counting on you!"
Yotel nodded, "Alright!"
Then Yotel promptly hung up the phone and hurriedly opened the email to check.
However, the moment he opened the paper and saw the article, Yotel’s pupils shrank!
This...
Instantly, Yotel’s expression changed, and he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp!
His hand holding the watch even trembled slightly!
At this moment, Yotel was stupefied.
This is not a simple paper.
This might be an overturning of two hundred years of Parkinson’s syndrome history!
That’s right!
The publication of Chen Cang’s paper will signify a revolutionary reshuffling in the history of Parkinson’s!
It’s also a breakthrough leap forward!
The more Yotel read, the more captivated he became, as if possessed, he didn’t even hear the knocking on his door.
The miraculous folding of α-synuclein!
The bizarre autoimmune response!
Has Chen Cang’s research on Parkinson’s reached this level?
Who knows how he discovered it!
Looking at the charts one by one, Yotel felt thrilled.
After finishing, he directly called his secretary, "Notify the editorial meeting! Immediately!"
With that, he got up and printed out Chen Cang’s paper!
At the meeting!
All the editors were puzzled as to why a meeting was organized so early.
But soon, Yotel’s words stirred curiosity among everyone!
"Everyone take a look at the article in your hands, this will be the cover article for this issue!"
These words sparked instant discussion in the room.
"Editor-in-chief, this issue is the annual volume, and... the cover has already been decided, it’s the result of our long discussion!"
Yotel remained unfazed, "This is why I called you all here today!"
Another deputy editor directly said, "Mr. Yotel, I think you should be more cautious."
"Moreover, Tethys’s research achievements have won the Albany Biomedical Prize this year, making this result very significant!"
That’s correct!
Half a year ago!
Tethys’s paper was already prepared to be printed with the annual special edition on the cover!
Having won the Albany Biomedical Prize, Tethys was certainly deserving of this honor.
Chen Cang, of course, wasn’t aware of this news.
He chose Nature because of its significant impact.
His impact factor isn’t the highest.
However, the impact factor doesn’t explain everything.
It only demonstrates industry expertise and high citation.
Whether it’s the 159-point impact factor of the Journal of Clinical Oncology or the 60-point high New England Journal of Medicine, these are highly specialized.
Which is why they’re niche, with few readers!
But!
Nature and Science are different.
As top-level journals in the industry, not only do they have high impact factors, but more importantly they have numerous readers, a wide audience, multiple times more than The Lancet!
Put simply, Nature and Science are journals that break the circle.
That’s why Chen Cang decided to publish here.
It’s just...
Even Chen Cang himself didn’t expect, that he’d clash with Professor Tethys?!
If Chen Cang knew, he might actually laugh himself awake.
...
...
In the office, the deputy editor looked at editor-in-chief Yotel, quite angry.
"Yotel, you... lack contractual spirit!"
Yotel remained indifferent, he said to everyone, "I believe once you’ve read the article, you’ll understand why I’m doing this!"
The moment these words were spoken, everyone paused.
They glanced down.
This glance!
Made them understand.
"Parkinson’s is actually an autoimmune disease—The Mysterious Visitor: Folding α-synuclein!"
This...
This theory doesn’t seem the same as Tethys’s.
They are of the same type, both theories on Parkinson’s.
However, they are dramatically different theories.
After seeing this, everyone frowned slightly.
At this point, even the deputy editor put away his earlier anger and started reading seriously.
For a while, the office fell silent.
A long silence!
No one spoke!
Yet, it was accompanied by sounds of breaths being drawn.
Minute by minute time passed, and the shock in the hearts of these editor-level reviewers intensified!
This... this article is about to overturn the entire field of Parkinson’s research!
Thinking about this, everyone’s breathing became a little rapid.
Unable to speak.
The paper was finished.
Everyone remained silent.
No longer asking the previously raised questions.
Because this question doesn’t seem necessary to consider.
If what the article says is true, this could be a historic overthrow for the entire series of diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, etc.!
At this moment, editor-in-chief Yotel looked at everyone and asked, "I support making this article the cover of our annual special issue, who agrees, who opposes?"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Everyone raised their hands!
"Agree!"
"Support!"
"In favor!"
...
Seeing everyone raise their hands, Yotel smiled slightly, "Alright, it’s decided then, notify the relevant departments to complete the final layout quickly!"
...
...
PS: Staying at the driving test center today, exam for section three tomorrow, hope to pass on the first try...
Three updates delivered, two more to go, around midnight.
Asking for some votes...
