Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 868

It was no wonder the department and university leadership were so on edge.

In the latest JCR (Journal Citation Reports) global rankings of journal impact factors, Nature was ranked tenth with an impact factor of 40.137, while Nature Biotechnology was eighth with an impact factor of 41.677.

Based on impact factor alone, the subsidiary journal was even more prestigious than its parent!

And Roseanne's team had published two such papers in a single year.

What did that even mean?

Even a workhorse on a farm couldn't be that productive.

"These kids... they're really something," Sinclair Nelson sighed.

"Normally, these academic achievements would be credited to our university, but..."

He trailed off, his mind drifting back.

He recalled his initial disbelief when he heard Roseanne and her friends were building their own lab.

But then it was built, far better equipped than the university's own, and its opening ceremony was attended by a host of distinguished figures.

That's when he knew he'd underestimated Roseanne.

He had been fine with it; a talented student reflected well on the university.

But then Madeleine Payne publicly announced she would waive her author affiliation, meaning all research from Roseanne's team would belong exclusively to Boundless Lab.

Without her name on the paper, the university had no claim to the research.

It was a silent slap in the face to the university administration.

Sinclair Nelson's expression had darkened at the time, but as a long-standing president, he'd quickly composed himself and shown no unprofessionalism.

Later, however, he had unleashed his fury on the vice president and the dean of the Department of Life Sciences.

As for why he didn't confront the main culprit, Edna Moore... she wasn't important enough for his direct attention.

The dean, having taken the heat, would naturally deal with Edna himself.

Those in power rarely bothered with the ants at the bottom; they had countless indirect ways to make them suffer.
