Chapter 877: Interested In Research
The teacher in charge of the library watched from behind as Liu Qian left and shook his head. It was no surprise that Bioinformatics was such an unimportant faculty. One of the reasons was probably because the teachers were not good enough.
**
Huo Yao found two books on Bioengineering. There were Physics books on the neighboring shelf, but she paused briefly before disregarding them. She walked straight past them without looking sideways and headed to the reading section.
Since it was lunchtime, the library wasn’t crowded. Most of the students preferred to take a break in their dormitories at this hour.
Huo Yao sat down in a corner and flipped through the books she had picked out.
Genetic Engineering was a major subject in Bioinformatics since Genetic Engineering was all about comparing genetic data.
Since a vast amount of genetic data was involved, it was impossible to remember everything by heart. The genetic data had to be entered into a computer and needed to be studied using a special software. This was essential in the study of Genetic Engineering.
After Liu Qian took the books he had come for, he glanced at the books on the shelf. He noticed that a couple of books about genetic engineering and heredity were missing.
The people who usually took out those books were either Biology faculty students or teachers who needed them for a conference.
Liu Qian raised his head and looked at the reading zone. He contemplated for a few seconds before walking over with his books.
After he pulled out an empty seat in front of Huo Yao and sat down, he was caught by surprise to see the book she was reading.
However, Liu Qian’s face twitched when he saw Huo Yao’s reading speed and could not resist saying. “Are you able to understand these books?”
He was undoubtedly puzzled by her reading speed. Moreover, students were only able to grasp the contents of this book a little when they were in their second year.
Huo Yao was flipping through the book when she paused and raised her head to look at Liu Qian. “Uh huh. It’s okay. I wanted to find something about our past years’ research subjects, but there was no such thing here.”
The moment Liu Qian heard what she said, he said in surprise, “The past years’ research subjects? Are you interested in research?”
Huo Yao rubbed the pages of the book in her hand and said nonchalantly, “Bioinformatics is quintessential in Bioengineering. After all, there are billions of people on earth, so the direction of future research needs to focus on identifying exceptions in DNA sequencing.”
It was the first time Liu Qian had ever heard something this insightful about Bioinformatics from a first year student. He would be lying if he said he was not surprised. A thought crossed his mind and he smiled sadly. “To be honest, our division hasn’t done any research in over three years.”
“Why?” Huo Yao raised her brow. “Do we lack funding because we are unpopular?”
Liu Qian shook his head. “That is not entirely true. The main reason is because most of the students aren’t interested in doing it.”
Even if he was very keen on teaching the students, the other professors would never agree to it. Without talented students, it would be a complete waste of time and money to conduct new research.
Huo Yao fell into silence.
Liu Qian glanced at her. He wondered about her quick learning abilities. She was the top Arts scholar. She must have a keen interest in Biology research since she decided to take Science now. He paused before he comforted her. “Don’t worry. I am sure we will eventually have the chance to conduct new research.”
Huo Yao acknowledged softly and did not continue with the subject.
“If you want to see information about our past years’ research, I have them. Just swing by my office later to get them,” added Liu Qian.
“Sure thing. Thanks, Mr. Liu.” Huo Yao nodded.
Liu Qian nodded before he stood up. “I will leave you to it. I have to make a move now.”
