What is a person's second brain? What should I do if I have osteoporosis? How do LED lights emit light? Interesting scientific questions stem from a wonderful popular science interpretation contest. On April 16th, under the guidance of the Guangzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the Shenzhen Advanced Institute), the Shenzhen Institute of Science and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (tentative name, referred to as shenzhen polytechnic), and the first SIAT Doctoral Classroom Lecture Contest and The Preliminary Competition of the Science popularization interpretation contest supported by the China Children's Mercy Association Science and Technology Dream Building Special Fund were held.
At the scene, the million bloggers of Station B and 21 players from various research fields cross-border linkage to talk about science popularization. The competition was conducted online and offline, and the live broadcast attracted nearly 300,000 viewers.
Zhao Wei, academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences and Academic Committee of Shenzhen Polytechnic, Liu Genping, chief distinguished expert of SIAT Innovative Talent Training Center, Feng Wei, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee of Shenzhen Advanced Academy and deputy director of Shenzhen Polytechnic Preparatory Office, Pan Yi, academician of the American Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering and dean of the School of Computer Science and Control Engineering of Shenzhen Polytechnic, and heads of functional departments of Shenzhen Advanced Institute attended the event.
Sun Jinlong, deputy director of the Science and Technology Cooperation Department of the Guangzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in his online speech that the science popularization interpretation competition is part of the activities of the Guangzhou Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the holding of this activity also shows the importance attached by the Shenzhen Advanced Institute to the science popularization work, which will further promote the construction of the science popularization work of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and create a science popularization brand in the Greater Bay Area.
Feng Wei said that shenzhen advanced institute and deep rational work for Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City, as well as Nanshan District science popularization base, hope that through this activity can spread scientific knowledge, carry forward the spirit of science, publicize scientific ideas, stimulate the public, especially young people's attention and interest in science, in the enlightenment of science education.
Lonely Planet, The Mystery of Neural Oscillations in the Brain, The Wonderful Journey of Sand and Chips... At the scene, a professional and cutting-edge scientific topic was transformed into an interesting popular science language, covering the science of life science, material science, engineering and technology, earth and environment and other fields, involving artificial intelligence, automatic driving, micro-robots, chips, brain science, immunotherapy and other themes, the contestants with different styles of explanations, for the audience to bring a fun and vivid science feast.
In the comment session, Liu Genping said that the science popularization contest is of great significance. In the context of the mainland's construction of an education power, the construction of the teaching team is very important, Nanshan District has made a lot of explorations in this regard, shenzhen advanced institute "doctoral classroom" has become a brand activity, will further promote the construction of SIAT innovative talent training research center, to provide more powerful support for the improvement of the quality of science teachers.
