Since the Chinese name of science fiction was confirmed, some people have engaged in introspection. In order to distinguish from the concepts of science fiction focusing on fantasy, there are scientific realistic novels, scientific novels, and so on. The author believe that popular science works based on novels can be called popular science novels. Taking Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days and Wu Zhihui's Up and Down Ancient and Modern Talks as examples, this paper tries to put a strategy for promoting popular science novels and made some suggestions on prompting them.

The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of parental roles and the parent-child talk in children's discovery museums. A sample of 41 family groups, which had a child aged 3-6, was randomly selected in the role-play zone at the Laoniu Children's Discovery Museum. The type of parental roles, the content and modes of parent-child talk in parent-child interaction were investigated. The results of the study indicates that parents play the co-player role for the longest time. As the interaction time goes on, parents gradually focus on playing the role of the onlooker, rid of a variety of roles they play in the initial stage of the interaction. In terms of the content of the parent-child talk, topics about exhibits take the largest proportion in all, with a large percentage of perceptual talk and conceptual talk in them. Besides, father's participation has a significant influence on the main topic of the talk. Families with a father are more likely to discuss game plots, while the families led only by the mother are more inclined to discuss the exhibits. During the interaction, the topics of parent-child talk gradually change from being about the game plots and exhibits to focusing only on exhibits. About the parental-child talk modes, the “interactive-dialogic” talk is given priority in all modes, which is almost throughout the whole game process in the role-play zone. The “interactive-authoritative” mode mainly appears in the initial and the end period of the interaction, while the “non-interactive-authoritative” dialogue mainly shows in the initial stage of interaction. The results imply that parents can timely adjust strategies to improve the parent-child interaction. It also provides the idea that educators in this institute can make full use of the exhibits or other materials to design game narratives in order to making sufficient parent-child interaction.

With the development of evidence-based medicine, evidence-based thinking has gradually been applied to more fields. In order to improve the scientific nature of health popularization, this paper proposes the use of evidence-based thinking to create health popularization, and puts forward the following scientific problems of health popularization in the selection, evaluation and application of evidence under the evidence-based perspective: bias in the choice of evidence, the lack of high-confidence-level evidence to support core views, no selection of the latest evidence, the use of controversial content as academic consensus, the selection of expert opinions that are not supported by reliable sources of evidence, the evidence of poorly related to the subject and conclusion of the article, and articles of no matching the needs of the public or health literacy. Therefore, in the creation of health popularization, the author suggested applying evidence-based health popularization, rationally use search terms and databases to collect the latest and effective evidence, evaluate and filtrate the evidence, and finally according to public demand and health literacy to use evidence.

This paper investigated the status of science popularization (S-P) by scientific and technical worker. The results show that they have a positive attitude and strong sense of responsibility towards S-P, but their frequencies of participation in S-P activities are not high, and there exist a phenomenon of contrasts between their thoughts and practice. The main influencing factors leading to this phenomenon include their time, energy, funds as well as lack of assessment. Meantime the responsibility of science popularization and the sense of self-worth are both the important driving forces. They pay more attention to broadcast science spirit and scientific rationality, and believe that they should enhance S-P ability, and establish a multi-party mechanism to promote S-P. This paper suggest: Perfecting the evaluation and reward system of scientific and technological projects, scientific and educational units as well as their workers; broadening the channels for carrying out S-P, as promoting the S-P work on new media, self-Media and informatization; Focusing on the content of S-P, vigorously propagating scientific spirit and enhancing public's rationality on scientific issues; Eestablishing professional voluntary S-P organizations in scientific research institutes and universities, focusing on positive guidance and incentives, and cooperating in many ways to form a joint force for S-P; Complete the emergency mechanism of S-P and improve the S-P capacity of scientific and technological workers.

Cartoon short video of science popularization is a new form of science popularization that developed with the rapid growing of mobile Internet. Such videos are often accompanied by a large amount of entertainment and fragmented information. Based on the theory of seductive details effect, this paper analyzed the relevance between the seductive details and science popularization goal, as well as the effect of situational interest (high or low) triggered by seductive details on the achievement of popular science goals. The research suggested that the low-relevance seduction details were beneficial to the achievement of science popularization goals. Situational interest plays a mediating role, which can improve the audience's memory capacity and learning motivation.
