By facilitating greater participation，richer content presentation，more efficient knowledge translation，and more focused science outreach，generative AI has the potential to enhance science communication and popularization significantly. This technology also introduces two different kinds of ethical risks. On the one hand，generative AI raises technical，ethical questions about information authenticity，fairness，security，bias，and copyright. On the other hand，problems historically linked to science popularization may get worse，such as oversimplification，a lack of scientific communication，the erosion of scientific authority，and populism. Consequently，it is crucial to investigate the application potential of generative artificial intelligence in science popularization practices going forward，as well as to raise the technical awareness，application capabilities，and supervision level of the general public，science popularization professionals，and regulators. Additionally，it is necessary to guarantee the accuracy，privacy security，and fairness of the content produced for science popularization.

The content creation in science popularization led by artificial intelligence means that science popularization content production has entered a brand new stage of development. This paper analyzes the current situation and challenges in the development of AI-Generated science popularization content，the underlying logic of AI-Generated science popularization content from the technical paths of large model pre-training，vertical domain model fine-tuning，and popular science content generation，as well as the roles and functions of the three types of science popularization content producers，namely professional content producers，occupational content producers，and the public，in the process of collaborating with AI to create science popularization content. Based on the results of the study，this paper suggests that in order to realize the high-quality development of science popularization，it is necessary to carry out the “AI +”action in the field of science popularization，promote the in-depth fusion of AI and science popularization，and build a new paradigm of human-machine collaboration and multiple co-creation of intelligent science popularization content creation，so as to provide an intelligent impetus for improving the scientific quality of all the people.

The deep integration of generative artificial intelligence（Gen AI）technology in museum-school collaboration will bring about profound changes in science education models，concepts，scenarios，applications，and the relationship between subjects. Using the Actor Network Theory as an analytical tool，this paper analyzes the role of the actor，the process of information translation，and the construction of the network when Gen AI is involved to clarify the transformation of the science education model in museum-school collaboration promoted by Gen AI. It discusses the problems that may be brought about by the application of Gen AI in science education，such as the risks of digital divide，technology dependence and ethical bias. Corresponding countermeasures are proposed，including improving digital literacy，optimizing curriculum design，and improving AI ethics，in order to promote the systematic construction and sustainable development of museum-school collaboration.

From the perspective of gender，combined with relevant literature，this paper analyzes the related concept of women in science popularization contained in the current policies，regulations and academic research in the field of science popularization in China，and examines the main types and basic status of women in science popularization practices in China from the perspectives of women as the main body and the object of science popularization. It is contended that many significant achievements have been made in the cognition and practice of popular science for women in China. However，problems still exist，such as the ambiguous concept of women in science popularization，the insufficient initiative of female groups to participate in popular science activities，and the less attention paid to in-depth issues such as science and gender. Accordingly，more active explorations and reforms should be made at the levels of subsequent policy-making，academic research and practice of science popularization.

Women play an important role in economic and social development，and the construction of women’s scientific literacy is of great significance for building a high-quality innovation army and promoting the practical transformation of productivity. This article aims to analyze the development status of scientific literacy among female citizens in China and propose suggestions for improving their level of scientific literacy. By analyzing the data from the 13th Chinese Citizen Science Literacy Sampling Survey，this study explores the different manifestations of women’s scientific literacy levels in terms of region，urban-rural area，age group，educational level，occupational group，level of interest in scientific and technological information，and channels for obtaining scientific and technological information. The results show that the scientific literacy of female citizens in China has grown rapidly，and the gender gap has been narrowing yearly. However，the overall level is relatively low，with scores in all dimensions lower than the national level. There are regional differences in the scientific literacy level of female citizens in China，with higher levels in urban areas than in rural areas and higher levels in the eastern region than in the central and western regions. The scientific literacy level of female citizens in China decreases with age and increases with education，and is lower than the national level in all age and education groups. Female citizens in our country have a high level of support for technological development，and their interest in technological information is generally average. Female citizens in our country often obtain technological information through digital products，and the utilization rate of science popularization infrastructure is low. On this basis，the following countermeasures and suggestions are proposed to improve the scientific literacy level of female citizens in China. First，optimize social gender awareness and cultural concepts and accelerate the bridging of the urban-rural scientific literacy gap. Second，establish a nationwide women’s education and training system，and improve the mechanism for ensuring women’s education and employment. Third，highlight the key points of women’s science popularization work and focus on women’s groups to carry out science popularization activities. Fourth，expand the channels for utilizing digital technology to obtain technological information and create a favorable atmosphere for women’s participation in science.

Girls’science learning has always been a critical issue in the international science education field，and science learning based on informal contexts，as a learning activity that occurs outside the framework of formal school education，plays a significant role in enhancing the scientific literacy of girls. Based on a systematic review and analysis of the literature，this paper finds that informal contexts have unique functions in promoting girls’science learning：they extend learning time and space，encouraging the cultivation of a growth mindset in girls’science learning；they create rich contexts，helping girls’interest in science；they take care of gender-specific qualities’helping girls to build a solid scientific identity；and they coordinate with the family and the school，laying the foundation of lifelong science learning for girls. There are four main strategies to promote girls’science learning through informal contexts：taking into account gender differences and relevance to stimulate girls’participation in science; innovating the content and form to enhance girls’interest in science and their identity；integrating resources from various sources to empower girls’science learning continuously；and implementing diverse assessments to highlight the diversity of girls’learning outcomes. This paper explores the functions and strategies of promoting girls’science learning from the perspective of informal contexts，aiming to provide new perspectives and ideas for dissolving gender differences in science learning and promoting girls’science learning.

The modern science and technology museum system is an essential force for popularizing scientific knowledge，promoting the spirit of science，improving the scientific literacy of the whole nation，and achieving the equalization of basic public cultural services. Based on the development data and practice cases of the construction of the modern science and technology museum system from 2012 to 2024，this paper draws on the theory of synergism，summarises the practice of synergistic development of the modern science and technology museum system，analyses the problems，modes，and mechanisms，and explores the future development strategies. The study shows that in terms of synergistic practice，there are mainly problems such as insufficient total amount of science popularization resources，unbalanced regional distribution，and imperfect top-level internal and external synergy design. In terms of synergistic mode and mechanism construction，we carried out problem-oriented research，summarised the synergistic development modes of intra-provincial synergistic mode，regional synergistic mode and cross-field synergistic mode，increased the overall supply of science popularization resources and reduced the regional supply gap，and connected resources and activities and promoted the information construction of the the system. Finally，it proposes strategies for the future synergistic development of the system，i.e.，strengthening intra-provincial synergy，improving regional synergy，and promoting cross-field synergy，to better serve the equalization of science popularization services at the grassroots level and the improvement of the scientific literacy for all people.

Cutting-Edge science and technology resources are widely and abundantly present within innovation entities such as research universities，scientific research institutions，and high-tech enterprises. These resources possess characteristics of original innovation，leadership role，interdisciplinarity，disruptiveness，and high risk. Uncovering and disseminating their content in science popularization directly contributes to maximizing research benefits and enhancing public scientific literacy. Based on an analysis of the current state of the science popularization of cutting-edge science and technology resources domestically and internationally，this paper delves into the challenges faced by China in this regard，such as the lack of top-level design，ineffective conversion channels and the separation between creators and disseminators. Utilizing the 5W1H analytical method，a transformation model is constructed that encompasses four dimensions: drivers of transformation，agents of transformation，long-term and efficient transformation methods，and elements of transformation content. By analyzing the core principles，gradual logic，and practical case studies of the science popularization of cutting-edge science and technology resources，the paper proposes effective strategies from four perspectives：top-level design and guidance mechanisms，building a collaborative framework for socialized science popularization，applying combinatorial innovation methods，and providing multimodal popular science supply.

“Promoting the spirit of scientists”is a practical necessity for research or science communication institutions. The core of this content，the“stories of scientists”，not only carries a wealth of information about social，disciplinary，national，and institutional development but is also rich in humanistic value and spiritual connotation. However，the creators of these stories lack a narrative model for the spirit of scientists that they can refer to. This paper analyzes the two types of narrative tendencies,V-shaped and A-shaped，and proposes a scientist spirit narrative model“VVAV”and a corresponding knowledge organization method for scientist documentation，based on traditional storytelling techniques and the construction characteristics of archives of famous figures in science，supplemented by the literature of academician Fang Jun as a case study. It also demonstrates the application of the narrative model in exhibition hall design through program simulation. This model and method can provide a standardized solution for content creation centered on the spirit of scientists.

As an alternative and progression of the“deficit model”，“public engagement with science”has received widespread attention and discussion from scholars since the end of the last century. However，in recent years，the development of“public engagement with science”has encountered certain difficulties on a global scale，and scholars have proposed a large number of solutions to this problem. However，these solutions still have shortcomings in addressing the passive engagement of the public and the substantive inequality between the public and science or scientists. Therefore，we also need to rethink the concept of“engagement（canyu）”itself and its significance for the public’s subjective identity cognition. In this regard，this article starts from the interpretation of “engagement（jinhe）”in the field of marketing，and discusses the theoretical differences and advantages of“engagement（jinhe）”theory compared to“public engagement（canyu）in science”. The“engagement（jinhe）”theory emphasizes on the flexibility of process，the integration of posture，and the sharing of value production based on the emphasis on the“user”attribute of participants. These characteristics are good references for debugging the theory and practice model of“public engagement（canyu）in science”and solving the current dilemma of“public engagement（canyu）in science”.
