Latest ArticlesEnvironment is considered as one of the important themes for the writing of scientific essays. From the establishment of P. R. China to the 21st century, the obvious features of scientific essays are shown in the aspect of contents choice, means of expression, target group and communication media, which brings the enlightenment to the creation of science popularization in the context of information society. The results also provide the suggestions for the construction of informatization of science popularization.
Universities and research institutes have become important forces in science popularization work of our country. They play an important social role by carrying out various science popularization activities. Harbin Engineering University, Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Insect Museum, Huazhong Agricultural University and other top universities and research institutes are selected as research subjects. Analyze the current science popularization activities carried out by universities and research institutions from the respects of daily management of science popularization work, common ways of science popularization, science popularization activities, and science popularization personnel. Some problems are found, such as the philosophy and understanding of science popularization of many institutes should be improved; science popularization activities lack of brand and characteristics; the innovations of science resources are insufficient and backward on the quality of science popularization personnel. To solve the above problems, it recommends that it should establish incentive science popularization working mechanism, construct a reasonable science popularization personnel structure, create brand and feature science popularization activities and try to carry science popularization activities with other social organizations.
In this paper, the initial publication of the chemical structure of artemisinin on Chinese Science Bulletin (1977), as well as the disclosure of its antimalarial efficacy and R&D process on Guangming Daily (1978) are documented, and both events have revealed the contribution of Tu Youyou and the Institute of Chinese Medicine of Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the identification and structure determination of artemisinin. The author argues that the disclosure of the particular details in artemisinin's antimalarial research actually did not bring any disadvantages to the invention patent application of artemisinin; instead, it has played a certain role to make Tu Youyou, a 2015 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine.
The large scientific facility is the foundation and important guarantee both for science technology innovation and economic social development. Study of large scientific facilities holds great significance not only for scientific research, but for society and strategic direction as well. It is a key concern in science communication to improve the multipurpose use of large scientific facilities and better develop their systematic effectiveness. Based on a case study of the accelerators in Japan and Taiwan area, we discuss in this paper on how to exploit and make better use of the large science facilities in science popularization.
The research on the function of science popularization in the large scientific devices is not only of important scientific significance, but also has important social significance. The function of science popularization can further improve the comprehensive utilization and efficiency of the large scientific devices. To increase the publicity of the large scientific devices, to create the unique “scientific image” of the science and technology, to establish a variety of interactive space, and let the public participate in it in different ways is very important. The measures to strengthen the policy support for the scientific research and the training of talents will be beneficial to the realization of the function of science popularization.
Thanks to the fact that-the contemporary science communication places, more and more emphasis on interactive and democratic equality, and emerges as the “new public welfare”, and that NGO embodies the characteristics of “grassroots” and “public welfare”, there has been infinite potential for its future development and improvements. The paper takes scientific squirrels as an example, based on its historical evolution and requirements under the new situations, the paper explore the road for NGO's science communication from a perspective of “new public welfare”, and put forward some countermeasures and suggestions for its future development.
This paper established evaluation indicator system the regional science popularization ability based on the basic conception and high-frequency indicators in reference, verifies the influence relationship in evaluation indicator system by SEM and measures the ability of regional science popularization and technological competitiveness by factor analysis method in year 2012, and compares matching degree of the ability of regional science popularization and technological comp-etitiveness. The conclusions may contribute to the assessment and policy making with respect to the system of science popularization. In the final analysis, some corresponding suggestions are proposed in the paper.
