Recently, the 2019 "Pineapple Science Award" award ceremony was held in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. This "interesting and serious" "science award", known as the "Chinese version of the Funny Nobel Prize", has 10 "interesting" scientific research achievements at home and abroad this year. Among them, this slogan was awarded the 2019 Pineapple Science Award - Pineapple U Award.
"I just went to Wenzhou to collect the award and came back." Chen Taimin, secretary of the party group of the Chengjiang Fossil Land World Natural Heritage Management Committee and director of the Chengjiang Fossil Science Research Museum, said.

In December 2018, Chengjiang County, Yuxi City, launched the public collection of World Natural Heritage slogans for Chengjiang Fossil Land, and received 4392 submissions from all over the country. In the end, the very interesting and controversial "Chengjiang Worm, Your Little Ancestor" won the championship. Soon, it became popular.
Chen Taimin introduced that in July 1984, Professor Hou Xianguang of the Institute of Southern Antiquities of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a completely preserved soft naros fossil in the Chengjiang Hat Tianshan Mountain, opening the door to the Chengjiang animal fossil group 530 million years ago, which shocked the world's scientific expedition community.

The phyla of the Chengjiang Fossil Heritage Site is very rich, including almost all the animal phylums of today, from sponges to chordates. It is the cradle of life on Earth and the "root" of the modern animal kingdom. Among the fossils excavated here are the earliest known chordates in the world, the ancestor of humans, the Yunnan worm.
"This is the 'little worm' in our slogan, are you saying that it is the 'little ancestor' of each of us?" Chen Taimin said.
At the award ceremony that day, Chen Taimin's appearance was as full of brain holes as this slogan - he carried a huge horn on the stage, and the horn played various versions of the shout: "Chengjiang little worm, your little ancestor!" Everyone at the scene was instantly brainwashed, erupting into bursts of light-hearted applause and laughter.
Awards ceremony
It is understood that the pineapple science prize, known as the "Chinese version of the funny Nobel Prize", aims to "pay tribute to curiosity", let more people understand science, and also let science enter the public.
The prize was born in 2012 to celebrate interesting scientific research to arouse curiosity and enthusiasm for science and bring the spirit of innovation closer to the public. Its organizers are china science and technology association, Zhejiang science and technology museum, fruit shell network and so on.
Ji Thirteen, founder of Fruit Shell Network, said that compared with the satire and self-deprecation of the scientific community by "Funny Nobel", the slogan of the Pineapple Science Prize is "interesting and serious" and "tribute to curiosity", so that more the public can understand science and let science enter the public.
It is said that its jury lineup is extremely strong, composed of 42 academicians, scientists and Nobel Laureates, and this year it has become the core sub-event of the 2019 World Young Scientists (Wenzhou) Summit.
