Preface
Recently, two well-known scientists, Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan, have once again become a hot topic of public discussion, but this time, the focus of the discussion is no longer on their heroic deeds in the fight against the epidemic, but on some of their words and deeds as public figures. For a time, there were different opinions about whether the title of "regenerative parent" is appropriate, and whether some of the decisions and behaviors of scientists should be questioned.
As the mainstay of society, the words and deeds of scientists will indeed have a certain impact on society, so it is inevitable that the public will pay attention to and scrutinize them. However, for scientists, they are more likely to give back to society through their scientific research results and practical actions, and these overly personal evaluations and doubts may not be what they expect.
So, what is the reason for this heated discussion and skepticism of scientists by the public? How should scientists perceive and respond to these different voices?
1. Are scientists called "regenerative parents"?
In this epidemic, Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan, two scientists, are well-known figures in the public, and their scientific research achievements and anti-epidemic experience have played a very positive role in promoting the mainland's fight against the epidemic.
Recently, two scientists, Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan, have once again become the focus of heated discussions, mainly because some people have raised some questions and reflections on them. For example, some people think that it may be a bit of a stretch to refer to scientists as "regenerative parents", because the work of scientists is more of a silent effort in the laboratory than a flesh-and-blood life like a parent.
In addition, some people also said that health security is the right of every citizen, and should not simply be blamed on individual scientists, who are regarded as "regenerative parents", which is easy for society to have a "scientists save the world, and I just have to lie at home and wait for redemption" mentality.
Second, scientists are also ordinary people
In fact, whether it is Zhong Nanshan or Li Lanjuan, they are essentially scientists, and their mission is to make more contributions to the cause of human health through their scientific research achievements. And the various titles and expectations given to them by the public may not be so important in their eyes.
At the same time, scientists are also ordinary people, and their words and deeds will indeed be affected by various factors, and they will also have their own helplessness and suffering. Therefore, when dealing with some decisions and behaviors of scientists, the public should also be more rational and objective, and should not interpret and comment too personally.
For example, some people questioned some of Zhong Nanshan's behaviors, believing that his high registration fee was "showing off his wealth" and "hype", and some people even began to question his scientific research achievements and public welfare undertakings.
3. How do you view the behavior of scientists?
Zhong Nanshan also responded to the public's doubts and discussions, saying that he did choose such a registration method for the purpose of academic exchanges, and it was definitely not because of "showing off wealth" and "hype". At the same time, he is also very grateful to the public for their continued care and support for him, and hopes that everyone can give him a certain understanding and trust.
In fact, whether it is Zhong Nanshan or Li Lanjuan, some of their words and deeds will indeed receive public attention and evaluation, and they also need to bear a certain amount of public opinion pressure. However, as public figures, they should also learn how to deal with these different voices and communicate with the public with a more rational and open attitude.
4. How do you view the contribution of scientists?
Of course, the public has the right to discuss and question some of the decisions and behaviors of scientists, but in this process, we should also maintain a grateful heart and give scientists the respect and understanding they deserve.
At the same time, we may not be able to measure the contribution of scientists in terms of money, because their work and dedication bring far more meaning than money can compare. Therefore, in the development of social construction and health undertakings, what we should do more is to support and encourage the scientific research work of scientists through practical actions, so that they can have a better scientific research environment and conditions to carry out more meaningful scientific research exploration.
epilogue
Whether it is Zhong Nanshan or Li Lanjuan, they are all outstanding scientists in the mainland, and their scientific research achievements and medical contributions have been highly recognized and praised by the society. In this special period, the public's attention and heated discussion about them may also reflect the society's respect and respect for science.
Therefore, in the face of the epidemic and various public health challenges, we should work hand in hand with scientists, believe in science and scientists, and support and encourage them with practical actions, so that the power of science can truly become a powerful driving force for social progress and human well-being.
It is hoped that in the future, both scientists and the public will be able to grow and progress together in a rational and inclusive atmosphere, and contribute to the realization of the dream of becoming a scientific power.
