Below the stage, most media reporters were seated in the first row, and the live broadcast was in progress.
More than a dozen mobile phones were aimed at the stage, capturing the tense, confrontational scene clearly.
Through wireless transmission, it was simultaneously broadcast across the entire internet.
In other words, apart from the invited experts, professors, and media reporters, the vast number of netizens would also witness everything in this debate.
At this moment, the barrage comments were already exploding, densely covering the live-stream page,
[This Tosaki Kawashima just doesn’t look like a good person]
[His face looks like a shoehorn]
[Shoehorn +1]
[Those saying Tosaki looks like a shoehorn: are you being polite?]
[Hey, what politeness do we need?]
[Exactly. You don’t need to talk about martial virtue with those people living very comfortably, you know?]
[Please aim the camera at Sister Yue, thanks. I don’t want to look at a shoe sole]
[Yes, urgently need to cleanse my eyes]
[First a shoehorn, then a shoe sole, you people have taken all the bamboo shoots in the world]
[It’s “we,” not “you” 🙂 Don’t be so distant~]
[I really love Sister Yue’s calm little expression]
[By the way, where is this? Ming University? I’ve been there before, it doesn’t seem to have this place?]
[Learn about Ming University’s trump card, Wujin Building!]
[Wow! I know! It’s the new building behind the teaching blocks, next to the golf course, right? I saw someone post on the forum before saying this would become the future holy land for scientists, integrating research and leisure, building the world’s largest interdisciplinary new work community]
[D*mn! Isn’t that just a big pigpen, putting all scientists together to raise them?]
[Uh, this metaphor actually… isn’t wrong?]
…
The barrage flashed by rapidly, while experts from various countries also focused intently.
Some directly took out their work laptops and began summarizing; others used the most primitive method, paper and pen, to record key points.
After Tosaki Kawashima finished speaking, some of them nodded, some shook their heads, but most still maintained neutrality without expressing any stance.
From time to time, they leaned toward each other and discussed:
“If Tosaki Kawashima’s experimental data has no problems, then the final conclusion shouldn’t be too far off.”
“So whether the experimental data, especially the human clinical sample data, is reliable is the key to determining whether the final conclusion holds.”
“I agree with that.”
“I agree too.”
“But the problem now is that clinical data isn’t like animal experiment data, it’s much harder to obtain, and individual differences have a huge influence. It’s also not easy to eliminate interference factors during analysis.”
“…”
Thus, the focus of discussion below the stage became whether the clinical data was reliable.
Note, it was the “degree of reliability,” not the “authenticity.”
Up to now, no one had suspected that Tosaki Kawashima’s experimental data might have problems.
After all, even a mediocre research scholar with no achievements should still know that the most basic requirement in experiments is ensuring that data is real and reliable.
Only then can analysis begin; otherwise, everything becomes a castle in the air.
Tosaki Kawashima was, after all, a long-established scientist, it was impossible he wouldn’t understand such basic knowledge.
Because of everyone’s subconscious trust in him, what followed was destined to shatter their expectations, because,
Jiang Fuyue spoke.
“Before officially refuting Professor Tosaki’s viewpoint, I would like everyone to look at these two clinical trial data analysis reports.”
As soon as she finished speaking, they were immediately displayed on the screen.
“As you can see, this sample report corresponds to Sample A mentioned in the paper, a pregnant woman of the same age, with similar physical data indicators, and the same drug dosage. Under the condition of five months of pregnancy, it basically achieved a one-to-one replication effect, controlling all variables. However, the final result I obtained is completely opposite to the conclusion presented in Professor Tosaki’s paper!”
A stir.
Everyone present was an industry expert; no one was foolish. As soon as these words came out, the audience instantly exploded.
“How could this happen?”
“The data is the same, the analysis method is the same, yet the final conclusion is opposite? What kind of logic is this?”
“That shouldn’t be…”
“There must be a problem here! Either the paper is wrong, or the later one-to-one replication samples were not rigorous.”
“Logically speaking, Tosaki Kawashima is a veteran in the medical field, and Jiang Fuyue is a rising star who just won the Lasker Award. With their achievements and level, they shouldn’t make such low-level mistakes.”
“Yes, low-level mistakes…” someone said, half sighing, half mocking, “so low-level that it’s somewhat unreasonable.”
And when something abnormal happens, there must be something suspicious behind it!
…
On stage, Tosaki Kawashima’s expression slightly froze. He subconsciously sat up straight and, for the first time, faced Jiang Fuyue directly.
Suddenly, the girl’s gaze fell toward him. Their eyes collided in midair. Tosaki Kawashima narrowed his eyes slightly, while she gave a faint smile:
“Professor Tosaki, why do you think this is?”
Tosaki Kawashima calmly picked up the microphone.
“First, samples have individual differences. The sample you listed and the one I used are roughly similar but not completely identical. That means there are errors in the variable-control stage. Therefore, it can only be that your sample has problems, or your analysis steps are not rigorous enough.”
“Second, I used a vertical plus longitudinal analysis method, which involves the removal of influence factors. In the paper, this was only mentioned briefly in one sentence. You may not have noticed it, causing you to miss this step during replication.”
In short, whether it was problems with the samples themselves or the failure to remove influence factors, the root of the issue, according to him, lay with Jiang Fuyue.
“Is that so?” Being questioned on the spot, Jiang Fuyue did not get angry. Instead, she raised a faint, playful smile. “But I also have a second, third, and even more one-to-one replicated sample reports. If one or two samples have individual deviations, could hundreds or thousands all have deviations? What do you think the probability of that is?”
Almost zero!
“Yet the conclusions are still opposite to those in your paper, why is that?”
As Jiang Fuyue spoke, the second, third, and even more data reports flashed onto the screen. Although they appeared only briefly, everyone could tell at a glance that they were not fake.
“Time is limited, so it’s hard to display them one by one. If anyone here is interested, you can come to me afterward to copy them. Of course, Professor Tosaki, you can as well. In fact, the clinical observation samples I provide are more numerous and more comprehensive than those appearing in your paper!”
Tosaki Kawashima’s brows suddenly tightened, and a bad premonition rose in his heart…
The next second, Jiang Fuyue spoke word by word, her tone firm and forceful:
“Why aren’t you speaking? It’s okay, I’ll answer for you. The reason the conclusions are completely opposite is because you fabricated the data!”
