里猛砸，总能做出一些东西来的。勤奋一点的，机遇好一点的，那么就站前面一些。
做实验室大多如此。现在渐渐的看那些“牛人”一长串的publication，不再如何的
羡慕了。这是题外话。
今天早上的感叹，是发现我们领域有一个家伙，搞了一个什么folding@home。理论
上说呢，就是把全世界的剩余计算机资源都利用起来，为他的模拟计算服务。想想
看阿，上百万台pc机一起合作，再牛的supercomputer center也要相形见拙。因
为模拟一个蛋白质的folding过程，按照现有单机速度，估计要算千百年的。很简单
但很聪明的idea。当然最早这么干的人不是他，但生物领域他是第一个。
稍微解释一下他对剩余计算资源的利用：志愿提供计算机资源的人下载一个他的软
件安装，于是每当志愿者的pc机闲置不用的时候他的程序就会开始运行，然后定期把计
算结果传送回他的总部，进行一定分析之后再把有关数据传回志愿者的pc上，继续运算
如此直到一个任务结束。
这个家伙现在同时在世界各地运行者上千个蛋白质的模拟。我们能完全模拟一个就挺高 | p*******r
发帖数: 4048 | 2 My personal experience points otherwise. Of course it is hard work. But the
biggest thing is that you have to pick the right problems.
Personally, I like to work on things which nobody else works on. This has
problems because when it's publication time, you get totally bullshit reviews
and you have to fight them. But I find it very discomforting by the thought
that if I died today, somebody would publish the same work tomorrow.
Actually sometimes it's quite discomforting. I just came back from a

success. as to your concern, when other people are not aware of the importance
of your current work, or their current work has little to do with your current
project, they may not need to be interested in. you have set up some starting
point in the area, and they branched themselves. you may be happy that what
you are doing now is still new and remote to theirs, as that they are not
really compete with you in your current a

发帖数: 1856 | 5 ft, 多亏有人回我才看到你的回. 我的中文打字实在是烂的狠, 原来就是别字大王,
我只是谈一点想法而已.
说到一个问题有多重要, 跟经验和眼界实在是密不相关, 硬工夫, 抱不来佛脚的.
原来department 有professional pathway的讲座, 我常去听. 曾经问过一次
将来自己的lab如何进行rishky的project. the professor answered me that
it is really important and let the ppl know what they are facing.
compared with the project itself, how to train your students is also
an very important issue. so, if they are not willing to take something
with high risk, don't force them to do so. or, you may balance that
by giving him/her an
