Scientific popularization of basic research achievements

2023-03-21

Recently, the top ten advances in Chinese science in 2022 were released. This selection event, which has been successfully held for 18 times so far, aims to publicize major scientific advances in basic research in China, promote public understanding, care, and support for basic research, and create a good scientific atmosphere in the whole society. The release of the top ten scientific advances immediately attracted netizens' attention. While everyone was praising, they also exclaimed: "Every word is recognized, and put together, it's not obvious.". There are both reasons for the large distance between basic scientific research and the public's daily cognition, as well as the failure to take the release of the "Ten Major Advances" as an opportunity to better use basic research and innovation achievements as excellent materials for scientific popularization, thereby resolving doubts and doubts. "If we cannot make these basic scientific achievements, which have gathered the painstaking efforts of countless scientists, better understood by the public in an accessible way, the social atmosphere of basic science cannot be strengthened, and the interest of young people in basic research cannot be mobilized.". If our basic research is an exploration that combines the forefront of world science and technology with major national strategic needs and economic and social development goals, then the results of basic research will also have a bridge to connect with the public. For example, the seemingly esoteric research on "achieving ethylene glycol synthesis under mild pressure" is not only backed by more than a decade of relay research by researchers from different technological routes, but also the significant progress made by China to reduce the external dependence of ethylene glycol. From this perspective, telling the story of ethylene glycol in China will not only help the public better understand basic research and improve scientific literacy, but also provide inexhaustible impetus for shaping an innovative ecosystem with Chinese characteristics and supporting confidence in the development of basic research.
