The Restless Universe, a classical popular science book about physics written by Max Born, was published in England in 1935. Max Born puts a great deal of efforts in writing the book, including the following aspects such as content selection, narrative method and skills, using literary means, drawing more delicate pictures in the book, and so on, those efforts have left fond and deep impressions on the readers. Thus, it is exemplified as a classical popular science book. Born’s academic thinking, such as attaching great importance to the role of valuing experiment in research work, and placing emphasis on the role of disciplinary history in teaching, were well embodied in that book. The book also illustrates Born’s unique insights into science and science research, and the law of the development of physics due to his meticulously studying and observing history of physics. A popular science writer could get more help, guidance and reference when he holds and reads the book.

The author recalls how it helps him embark on a journey for a pursuit of scientific research by immersing himself into science popularization readings during the boyhood. The good doings are manifested in the following areas: Science popularization and media reinforce each other, especially in the fact that new media is of great importance to science popularization work. Some thought on how to do a great job in science popularization lectures and prospective dream for science popularization endeavors are also illustrated in the paper. In a nutshell, the author hopes to put more energy and time on producing original science popularization works in the future.

Science education develops quickly and it has reaped remarkable achievements for the recent 20 years. As the most important forum for international science education community, JRST has kept track of its development and growth. Therefore, the paper systematically analyzes 20 years’ papers of JRST by six variables involving the topic, subject content, research object and research style to describe the research’s current situation and frontier picture of international science education, and sums up five suggestions for the related researches in China.

Based on the CNKI database, the paper conducts a statistical analysis of the academic literature regarding science museums stored on CNKI from Jan, 1985 to Dec, 2015. The analysis is manifested in the aspects such as the total published papers on science museums, institutes, writers, the way which are used to publish the papers, and the featured traits of the research outputs at the corresponding phases. In a nutshell, the paper epitomizes the current situation and problems facing academic research in the area of science museums over the 30 years, and subsequently puts forward some measures.

Public understanding of air pollution alludes to a series of psychological responses to air pollution from the general public, including how the atmospheric environment is perceived, what attitudes they have towards pollution, and how people assess it, etc. The issue stems from the public’s reaction to the residents’ complaint about the smoke nuisance. While at the present times, the research on the public understanding of air pollution facilitates the potential prediction of public acceptance of the pollution control measures and provides public data support to the development of environmental management and education. The paper reviews recent work in the field of public understanding research, such as pollution nuisance, environmental psychology and risk perception, and also traces back to its root of environment history. The paper concludes itself by emphasizing the great significance of public understanding as public opinions in environmental management and education.

Scientific literacy is a continuously evolving concept with theoretical and practical connotations. When referring to the evaluation of civic scientific literacy, we should combine new content and new change of the concept with local practice and actual demand for the purpose of monitoring the development of Chinese civic scientific literacy objectively and accurately. This paper analyzes the new trend of the evaluation of civic scientific literacy from the perspectives of the evolution of scientific literacy, the innovation of survey method, the improvement of scientific literacy in the internet era. In a nutshell, some suggestions are put forward regarding the prospective evaluation of civic scientific literacy in the paper.

Nuclear safety is a very popular topic on the internet, and the online survey on the nuclear safety awareness and attitude by the netizen and the nuclear science communication are of great importance for the academy and the application in China. The paper uses the online survey with random sampling to measure the Nuclear Safety Awareness and Attitude of Chinese net users as well as the degree of the Nuclear Science Communication in China. The results show that most of people have a limited knowledge in science communication, while they have a high trust upon the Chinese Nuclear Power Plants, yet they don’t like to build more plants in future. The male have a higher nuclear power knowledge level than that of the female, whereas the higher education they have, the more they are against building nuclear power plants in future. Specially, the respondents with the age of more than 50 years old have the highest level of science communication about nuclear safety, while the lowest is for the group of less than 35 years old who embody the negative attitude to build more nuclear power in China. According to the survey data, some revelations on Nuclear Science Communication should be studied in China in the future.

The earthquake disaster, usually classified as the “the most calamitous disaster”, is always happening in a sudden, strong and destructive manner, and is prone to causing the secondary disaster, thus it is highly concerned by the users. Based on the Baidu massive user behavior data, the paper conducts an analysis of the search behavior tendency and trait of the specific keywords “earthquake” by utilizing Baidu index. By doing so, the needs of the users and the the tendency of public opinions on the media are explored for the purpose of coming up with the optimal strategy concerning how to handle science popularization work having to do with earthquake prevention and disaster reduction.
