Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, post-doctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend video-conference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries. Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducing research in China, and Chinese graduate students, post-doctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.
【正确答案】:全球化也在改变着科研的方式。一个新的趋势是将科研项目的一些部分给别的国家做。担任耶鲁大学教授与霍华德·修斯医学研究所调查员的许田就在上海复旦大学管理着一个专门研究人类疾病遗传学的研究中心,与来自两校的工作人员进行合作研究。上海中心有95位职员和研究生,他们在一个4,300平米的实验室里工作。耶鲁大学的教师、博士后和硕士生会定期来这里参观,与两所大学的科学家们一起参加视屏会议研讨班。这样的安排对两国都有好处。由于在中国进行研究开销比较低廉,许在耶鲁的研究室变得更加高产;而中国的硕士生、博士后和教师则受到一位世界级科学家及其美国团队的在岗培训。
