The strange statement prevails and hits the popular science talent's deficient soft rib to keep in good health

"While teaching some simple and practical health care healthcare knowledge, are mixed with the fantastic theories of true and false, unexpectedly can propagate its belief on a large scale in the society. This has exposed deficiency of our popular science construction. " The talents of the Chinese Technology Association that hold on June 9 and adjusting declaring at the working conference, an " old popular science " Spoke of the one in vogue recently " Highly skilled doctor's mythology " Already worry.

In his view, query or condemn a certain " highly skilled doctor " simply The meaning is not big, if can't promote public scientific accomplishment in a more cost-effective manner, will still have " highly skilled doctor Zhao, highly skilled doctor Li " Emerge in an endless stream, and analyse and explain this difficult problem, " the key is popular science talents " .

China's popular science undertaking is facing the enormous challenge. Huge colony of the person who alreadies children and low cutural dynamics exist of our country, also pay close attention to the public day by day enhancedly to science and technology existing.

Vice chief of Ministry of Science and Technology Policy and Regulations Department Li Pu introduced a few days ago, in recent years, the popular science personnel of our country increased continuously. Already there will be 1,760,000 popular science personnel in the whole country in 2008, every the Wan 's of the whole country have 13.4 popular science personnel.

However, the popular science talents of our country build the current situation and still cause anxiety.

"The popular science talent's team is more deficient, the structure is unreasonable. " Zhu ShiLong, Deputy Director of Beijing Scientific and Technological Commission, reveals on the popular science forum a few days ago, the popular science talent's building of contingent of our country forms the problem such as being high of complicatedness, education degree. Check and rate mechanism to be unreasonable to influence scientific research personnel to participate in the enthusiasm that the popular science is created seriously, " this causes the national popular science whole deficient main reason of talent's team " .

Popular science personnel's senilization. Chinese popular science research institute thanks Dr. Xiao Jun for enumerating a group of data that the popular science is created: By the end of 2008, the popular science writer's proportion of the young and the middle aged of age under 40 years old is only 20.6%, a lot of scholars or popular science workers who has already retired are still devoting one's remaining years to the service of the people, but this group of scholars have limited energy after all, and no matter knowledge structure, mode of thinking, writing means create the method, store with the demand of the readers of new generation in certain distance.

The popular science volunteer has just started. Popular science chief of research institute Ren FuJun in China reveals, the popular science volunteer serves and just starts in our country, not becoming scale yet, but in Britain and Japan, 50% of the citizens have participated in the volunteer and served, 80% youth has participated in the volunteer and served in Denmark.

The popular science is not enough to stumble the popular science step without encouraging as one thesis in half a year

" father of pretty young woman of the lady in the moon " Academician OuYang ZiYuan has several dozen popular sciences which face the public or even students in middle and primary schools to lecture every year, in his view, " the scientist has responsibility to do a good job of popular science, this responsibility, and is not second to doing the scientific research by oneself " .

Academician OuYang ZiYuan has spoken one and encouraged the researcher to do the story of the popular science to China Youth News reporter.

Chinese Academy of Sciences is some a researcher, is engaged in the research of ultra base rock and chromium nickel ore for a long time, probably write two or three theses in one year. This researcher studies the foundation solidly, have a wide range of knowlege, eloquence is very good, the style of writing is good too.

"I say to him each thesis of you come out 3 people think at most in the counterpart, the effect is not big, it is too small to influence. You should give full play to one's own advantage, the ones that select some the public to pay close attention to, very interesting question, write the popular science book or popular science article, make the speech of the popular science, the benefited person will be hundreds and thousands of, make contribution more to the society. " Some advice of academician OuYang ZiYuan's has changed this researcher, he is the small and famous popular science writer now.

Unfortunately, such a story is only a individual case.

This back is planned and organized the popular science activity not to get effective system support by the scientific research personnel.

Is the scientist more willing to choose to do popular science or scientific research?

"Most people will choose to do scientific research, as the dictorial supervisor works as a professor works as the academician. You write some popular science books will exert an influence, but can be approved directly as the thesis; Not like doing the project, can obtain the economic income either. " China University of Geosciences ( Wuhan) Professor Xiao Long thinks, have not encouraged scientific research workers to participate in the popular science in current system.

The science and technology of graduate school of Chinese Academy of Sciences propagated an investigation of centre Mo Yang group to offer the evidence for this.

The investigation finds, the policy system is that the scientific and technical personnel of our country put into the main motive force of the popular science at present. Scientific and technical personnel drop the popular science into and work and was encouraged and supported in the state policies direction, but for a long time, it does not have scientific appraisal system to work in most R&D institutions that the department is general, pursue scale and ignore result often to appraisal that popular science work. In most scientific research institution, popular science achievement repel on the job to claim, evaluate, appoint, promote, examine outside the index, influence scientific and technical personnel to participate in the enthusiasm of the popular science work seriously.

Therefore the influence brought is prominent. From 2004 to 2008, part-time per persons of personnel will be putting the popular science of every department into the work load to reduce constantly actually, and high-tech talent's intensive departments such as environmental protection, meteorological phenomena, earthquake,etc., part-time per persons of personnel put popular science into the average that the work load is mostly fewer than every department actually in year.

Whether be some popular science content more in the scientific research plan

"To scientist, propaganda of popular science and development are likewise important in scientific research. " OuYang Zi says far, it is referred to while referring to mission of the survey of deep space that there is a formal file in American National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the mission of the survey of deep space not merely includes that improving the life beyond the earth human living standard, expansion the earth human living space, the discovery earth exists etc., also include stimulating monobasic exploration spirit.

"All scientific and technological projects in U.S.A., are no matter headed the list of signers by American National Aeronautics and Space Administration or the scientific research universities and colleges organize, one is named propagating to the public finally. " Xiao Long Professor introduce, these one " the public propagate " Mean that trains in community service and campus, " for example go to community, primary school, kindergarten,etc. to carry on propaganda and training of the scientific popular knowledge " .

In U.S.A., the funds of the popular science are included in scientific research project directly. Tong of ISTIC Research & Traning Center congratulate abundant group, introduce, U.S.A. scientific foundation to encourage researchers to go on the relevant popular science activity, have set up " Reasearch funds is added extra popular science appropriations " System. Obtain the intersection of subject for research and person in charge that foundation this subsidize, launch relevant popular science work in case of interest, can submit the application, the applicant can get popular science of 3~5 ten thousand dollars to add extra and allocate funds.

It is very charmed that this kind of encouragement mechanism lets to resemble dragons.

Xiao Long is when American Alexander state university becomes a visiting scholar, there is a world-class professor in the laboratory, call Phil Philips? La 8 awl dark dusk clucked for Does the young Spanish mackerel Fu try best?

Acting as a guest at American friend's home, a ten -year-old child hears Xiao Long studies the Mars, why very excited, have enumerated a lot of Mars phenomena, then has asked one bunch. Some questions have all baffled resembling the dragon. "In the popular science exhibition of them, many picture show phenomenon these, understand by even some scientists in the intersection of we and the intersection of this side and a lot of things. "

The such one experiences personally letting and resembles dragons to realize to deeply " Where is Americans' scientific accomplishment from to come " .

It's a pity, though the regulation " national great project in our country " several opinions on strengthening national popular science ability ", project of the plan of science and technology and great science and technology are implemented specially in the course, set up and amplify the scientific and technological information issue mechanism towards the public progressively, let the public understand, know relevant scientific and technological knowledge and information in time " ,But actual conditions, " in the cost of scientific research of China, great project, great project, ' 863 ' plan, ' 973 ' plan of country, the research project of the great fund, does not all have popular science funds. "

Academician OuYang ZiYuan tells reporters, he is in recent a great subject that applies, list in about " Various image departments which launch the project of pretty young woman of the lady in the moon are general to work " Content,too because it is not in accordance with regulation dismissing from lose.

The strange statement exposes the short board of the popular science to keep in good health
