People are used to fast reading nowadays. It has been a trend in science popularization that motivating public’s aspiration to scientific knowledge. ACG is one of some good approaches for science popularization in terms of popularity, accessibility and big coverage of audience. The integration between science popularization and ACG would be a new focus for some related industry development in the era of ubiquitous net and multi-screen.

First, a comprehensive understanding and major problems of infrastructure for popularization of science and technology are discussed; then it tries to find out the reasons of the problems; finally, the suggestions are proposed.

Concerning major challenges of domestic science museums, this paper illustrates “walk with two legs” as a feasible way of development for science museums. By analyzing the measures and practical effects of Guangdong Science Center under the guidance of “one body with two functions” development mode, it demonstrates that GDSC has elevated the idea of science center. The mode preserved public science educations as the foundation, while fully exert resource effects to energize GDSC for a new scientific development mode of “one body with two functions”.

According to the latest ideas for science education and the practice of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, we try to construct the model of three dimensional science education goals. The model circles the exhibits as a center, using the graphics, cartoons, models and objects to show the scientific principle; and expand the scientific knowledge by three approaches of “the process of exploring science”, “the application of science knowledge”, “the fun of playing with science”. This model shows the transformation of science education goals, from linearity to being stereoscopic. This is a creative exploration for the science education.

Watching TV and reading newspapers have always been the important ways to obtain science and technology information for the masses in recent years. Understanding scientific news in newspapers and TV programs is the basic requirement for the masses. By finding out the recent changes of modern physics knowledge on TV and in newspapers in content and quantity, we can know social basic requirements of scientific literacy for the citizens. It is also helpful in constructing up-to-date modern physics curriculum as well as popular science resources.

As a new scientific community force, science blogs are playing a more and more significant role in science communication by exploring in the forefront of promoting the public understanding of science. Based on the analysis of the development of science blogs and their features, this paper focuses on why and how science blogs can affect the public understanding in terms of dimensions of the communication model, content (scientific affairs), information sender (scientists) and receiver (the public). It will also discuss the trend of science blogs in the coming world of information. Carried by science blogs and mass media, a new scientific communication ecosystem is being formed.

A case study of behavior deletion in science communication suggests that public identity crisis in geography is the physical and mental suffering from geographical behavior deletion when facing public. The behavior deletion in geography lead to dissatisfy every kind of social group’s requirement. There are some main approaches to get out of the public geographical crisis, including grasping “regional” dimension and the research of scale conversion; relying on the preponderant heritage coming from “quantitative revolution”; and adopting or carrying out some necessary behavioral measures.

This study is about the first comprehensive popular science magazine in Taiwan: Everybody’s Science Monthly, from 1951 to 1974. It focuses on exploring the changing of the Everybody’s Science Monthly, including its personnel, location, editorial committee and contents.

Popular Science Monthly will celebrate its 40 years anniversary. It grew out of Taiwan Shin Sheng Daily News and Science Weekly for High School Students. This essay stresses its ideal, style and practice with looking back its origin, founding in US and publishing in Taiwan, and challenges afterwards. It also discussed some difficulties which science community are facing.

Popular Science Monthly has been published for more than 40 years, with starting its publication in January, 1970. On the occasion of Popular Science Monthly’s 40 years anniversary, this paper reviews its several issues in terms of starting time, elitism, science writing items on the agenda, and organization work of science community. Some ideas on historical positioning of Popular Science Monthly are put forwarded as well.

This paper attempts to analyze the main internal and external factors that influence the exhibits innovation in science and technology museums in China. Firstly, it reveals the exhibits characteristics of modern science and technology museums by analyzing the development of the exhibits in science and technology museums in other countries. Meanwhile, it compares the exhibits designing concepts in China with that of international pioneers and finds out the differences between them. Secondly, it also analyses the external factors that restrict innovating exhibits in terms of exhibitions design procedures, institutional arrangements of exhibitions and exhibits bidding and bid, and etc. Finally, it concludes that the main factors which result in the lack of innovative exhibits in science and technology museums in China are exhibits designing concepts and exhibitions designing procedures.

At present, there is no a uniform or universally accepted definition about innovative exhibits, nor the assessment standards in China or other countries. This article explores the understanding of innovative exhibits from the perspective of R&D process. Innovation is a process. In China, only innovation is successful, it can be called innovation. It, taking an example of the Exploratorium in the U.S., states that exhibits innovation is a perpetual work in progress; then analyzes the current status of exhibits innovation in science and technology museums in China, which pay little attention to understanding of R&D cycle and judging an innovative exhibit in inappropriate time. Finally, it put forward some proposals in promoting innovative ways about exhibits, they are emphasis on renovation, strengthening the management of the whole process of the exhibit development cycle, establishing the risk awareness and enhancing exhibit researchers’ expertise.

As a world-class palaeobotanist and geologist, Chinese academician Prof. Li Xingxue (Lee Hsing-Hsüeh) has contributed a lot to national science popularization apart from his academic achievement in geosciences. His ideas in popularizing science are not only full of rational enlightenment in logical argumentation, but also reflect a kind of humanism spirit to strive for realism, progress vigorously, and develop harmoniously. They are highly significant for our pursuit of science popularization in the new stage.

In this paper, the abundant resources of science and humanity behind entomology culture have been highlighted and reviewed. It shows that: entomology culture have profound meaning of science popularization. In consequence, it is of great humanity value to incorporate the culture values into science popularization and establish an innovative way in integrating entertainment into ecological education.
