Bridging the 'last mile' of scientific popularization
2023-09-04
When a train enters the station, why do passengers have to stand outside the safe yellow line? "" Look, the current phenomenon is static electricity "... Not long ago, the Baodi District Science and Technology Association in Tianjin drove a science popularization caravan to Weiguozhuang Village, Shigezhuang Town, to popularize scientific knowledge to the masses. This past summer vacation, many local science popularization workers went deep into community streets and fields to carry out various forms of science popularization promotion activities. Some places offer interesting popular science classes for community residents. These grounded activities have opened up the "last mile" of scientific popularization and are deeply welcomed by the masses. Technological innovation and scientific popularization are the two wings for achieving innovative development. The innovation level of a country is closely related to the scientific quality of all workers. The process of technological innovation since modern times has shown that scientific popularization is not only an "accelerator" for improving productivity, but also a "catalyst" for transforming scientific and technological research achievements. The key to Chinese path to modernization lies in the modernization of science and technology. Spreading scientific knowledge and culture, promoting the integration of technology, economy, and society, and cultivating innovative reserve talents, the importance of the "wings of popular science" has become more prominent. In recent years, China's science popularization capacity construction has achieved significant results, with the proportion of citizens possessing scientific literacy increasing from 10.56% in 2020 to 12.93% in 2022. Science popularization provides more solid support for building an innovative country and achieving high-quality economic and social development. At the same time, it should also be noted that compared to the growing demand of the public, there is still an imbalance and insufficient balance between urban and rural areas and regions in science popularization. In some places, grassroots science popularization facilities are relatively scarce and service capabilities are relatively weak. To enhance the scientific literacy of the entire population, it is necessary to further strengthen the public service capacity of grassroots science popularization, overcome bottlenecks, fill gaps, innovate communication methods and means, and let the public fully experience the charm of science and technology. We need to improve the grassroots science popularization service system and effectively enhance grassroots science popularization capabilities. To do a good job in grassroots science popularization work, it is necessary to have a sound system, platform, and team support. The Outline of the Action Plan for National Science Literacy (2021-2035) comprehensively deploys the project to enhance grassroots science popularization service capabilities, and many places are also exploring new models of grassroots science popularization in practice. We need to summarize these experiences, effectively integrate high-quality regional resources, and make more efforts in improving the grassroots science popularization service system and strengthening the construction of grassroots science popularization facilities, in order to jointly build a shared science popularization platform. In terms of building a science popularization talent team, we should not only find ways to strengthen the full-time science popularization team, but also play the role of science and technology workers, science popularization volunteers, and enthusiasts, promoting the professionalization, standardization, and normalization of science and technology volunteer services. We also need to fully utilize new technologies and platforms to continuously enrich the forms of science popularization. Currently, science popularization is developing from a single offline activity to a combination of online and offline activities, as well as digital and intelligent integration. Many scientific research institutions and science popularization experts have participated in the science popularization industry through new channels and forms such as short videos, and have achieved good results. Fully utilizing the new generation of information technology and deepening the development of science popularization informatization will help to fill the gaps in the uneven and insufficient development of science popularization in urban, rural, and regional areas. Further increasing the supply of high-quality science popularization resources on the internet, enriching the forms and dissemination channels of science popularization works, will effectively help
