v2 Chapter 606： It belongs to the world (1/2)

Amidst a burst of warm applause, the brief report came to an end.

But Tu Youyou didn't mean to leave at all. She helped the microphone and said to everyone in the audience: ”Professors, please wait a moment.”

”Next there will be a press conference where I will announce all the experimental data and the results of the experiment.”

While talking, Tu Youyou waved to the assistant beside him, and the assistant turned and left.

When she reappeared, dozens of media reporters were already behind him.

They had microphones in their hands and cameras on their shoulders, and the lens was directed at Professor Tu on the podium.

The shutter keeps beating like raindrops.

At this moment, the audience was silent, everyone was stunned, looking at Tu Youyou blankly.

She actually wants to announce the results of the experiment to the world? This is incredible.

All of you here are the big cows in academia, and they all know any rules of academia.

You can publish all the theoretical results at the report meeting, but you cannot disclose it to the media.

I think that once the academic conclusions are made public in the face of the media, it means giving up academic results.

Tu Youyou and his team will not be able to apply for the patent rights for dihydroartemisinin.

This is not just a loss of millions, but a loss of hundreds of millions, billions, and even tens of billions!

Thinking of this, the professors suddenly couldn't calm down.

”Professor, before making it public, I would like to ask, have you applied for a patent?” asked a professor from the Department of Life Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

”Yes, Professor Tu, we do not object to your disclosure, but before you publicly apologize, please be sure to submit a patent application.”
