[Light Review] Science popularization needs a good "tour guide"

【Light Review】

Recently, the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Popularization of Science and Technology in the New Era further strengthening the popularization of science and technology" was issued at the national level to formulate a clear timetable and roadmap for science popularization. It is clear that by 2025, citizens have more than 15%of the scientific quality ratio. The atmosphere of advocating innovation is stronger; by 2035, citizens have a scientific quality ratio of 25%. The high -quality development of science popularization services has a significant energy efficiency, and the soft power of science and culture has significantly enhanced, providing strong support for the construction of the world's strong country.

Scientific and technological innovation and science popularization are the two wings of innovation and development. It is necessary to place science popularization in the same important position as scientific and technological innovation. From the "Outline of the National Science Quality Action Planning (2021-2035)" to the State Council, to the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" National Science and Technology Popularization Development Plan, and then the deployment arrangement a few days ago, it is not difficult to see that science science is set up. At the important position, it is given more attention and expectations.

Relevant statistics show that the proportion of citizens in my country has increased from 3.2%in 2010 to 10.56%in 2020, which can be described as significant achievements. But we must also be aware that this proportion is still small compared to developed countries. When it comes to popular science, many people may think of a few popular science slogans in the community, a few popular science essays on the window of public places, and some popular science programs on TV. These methods cannot be said to have no effect, but it can no longer adapt to the trend of the development of the times, and it is difficult to deeply root the hearts of the people.

How to better improve the science popularization effect? In addition to "encouraging regions with conditions, global science popularization actions to carry out global actions, global coverage, all -media communication, and participation in the people, how to practice" focusing on improving the science popularization capabilities and using the public to understand, accept and participate in the way Science "is the key. In other words, science science is not one -way output, but to strengthen interaction and focus on the effect. In order to use the public's easy understanding, acceptance and participation, we can do more with less.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the "Tiangong Class". On June 20, 2013, the Shenzhou 10 multiplied group opened the first space lecture in China in the Tiangong No. 1 Space Lab, demonstrating the unique physical phenomenon in the weightless environment for tens of millions of primary and secondary school students across the country, and conducted interactive exchanges of heaven and earth. In December and March of last year, Shenzhou -thirteen started the class twice. According to statistics, the "astronauts" have demonstrated about 20 space experiments for young people across the country. They have "height" and grounded, making students interested and open their brains. More importantly, this unique world interaction has stimulated and added many students' interest in science.

According to reports, Zhong Nanshan, Zhang Boli and Li Lanjuan have not won "the highest honor in China". This leads a topic -popular science, who will do it? Obviously, scientific and technological associations at all levels should play the role of the main social forces of science popularization. Various schools and scientific research institutions also strengthen the sense of responsibility of science popularization, and enterprises and media must do their best. At the same time, it is necessary to enhance the sense of popularity and mission of science and technology workers.

The majority of science and technology workers should use their own advantages and expertise, actively participate in and support the science popularization cause, consciously bear the science popularization responsibility, and encourage and support old science and technology workers to actively participate in popular science work. At present, some academicians have performed "cloud science popularization" in the form of videos, live broadcasts, and have become new "net celebrities" in the field of popular science. They have high ethics and full abdomen, have extremely high scientific literacy and rich experience, and become popular science "net reds". With enthusiasm, capable, and good ways, such scientists are commented on science, which is worthy of praise.

Some scientists said: "The role I undertake in the popular science is like a tour guide. I hope that through my own explanation, it can inspire netizens' curiosity about science." The more such "tour guides", the more obvious the science popularization effect. Innovative methods and methods, more careless popular science, enhance the availability, targeted, and appealing of science popularization work, which can further stimulate the masses of curiosity and imagination, consolidate the foundation for building a strong country, and to achieve high -level technological independence. Self -improvement provides support.
