"The power of knowledge depends not only on its own value, but also on whether it can spread and the depth and breadth of its spread."

This sentence has two meanings, one is that the value of knowledge itself is very important, and the other is how knowledge is spread. The depth and breadth of knowledge are more important, which profoundly reveals the importance of scientific popularization.

As the main body of scientific research, researchers are duty-bound to provide popular science knowledge to the public. However, compared with European and American countries, the time and energy of scientific researchers in China are far from enough, which is also caused by the current situation of scientific research in China.

For scientific researchers, popular science belongs to public welfare affairs, and there is no mandatory task and corresponding incentive measures. Since doing and not doing are the same, why bother? Especially now, the pressure of scientific research is much greater than before, and young researchers can only choose to put most of their thoughts on writing academic papers in order to evaluate their professional titles. They don't pay attention to popular science creation at all, so they can't assume their due social responsibilities. Although some academicians now express the hope that more researchers and university teachers will join the team of popular science creation and provide more wonderful popular science works for the public. He also suggested that popular science creation and public propaganda should be included in the evaluation system of scientific researchers and give them the motivation to create. However, before the introduction of relevant policies, it is difficult for researchers to have a big change in their attitude towards popular science.

At the same time, many researchers still have misunderstandings about popular science and equate "popular science articles" with low-level papers. In fact, the purpose of publishing academic articles is to let peers know your research results, while writing popular science articles is to let the public know your research. These two audiences are different, and their expressions will be different. Colleagues will be more concerned about how to realize it, but the public will be more concerned about the application behind it. For researchers, concrete realization and potential application are equally important, that is to say, popular science and scientific research should be equally important. Researchers should not put themselves in a very cold position, thinking that professional problems can only be communicated by peers, and disdain dialogue with the public. You should know that the source of your own research funding is essentially the tax paid by the public. If your research is worthless in the eyes of the public, why should you let them support your own research?

Most researchers are low-key, unwilling to have more exposure in front of public media, and worried that they might say something wrong or misinterpret their meaning. Now because of the existence of the Internet, the speed of information dissemination is accelerating. If there is something wrong with media expression, it will soon have a great bad influence. If you express it wrong, you will lose your own people. If misinterpreted by the media, defense is also a hassle. Do more than say or say less. This situation undoubtedly greatly reduces the effect of popular science. Only by improving the scientific literacy of media reporters and strengthening the communication between researchers and the media can this problem be solved. But to improve the scientific literacy of media reporters, don't we still have to rely on scientific researchers to make more contributions?

Before the two sessions, the strong performance of Afa Dog almost exploded all kinds of media, and also set off a popular science fever for the two sessions. On behalf of the members of the scientific research personnel also serve as compulsory science teachers. Academician Wu Xiangping also gave us a "gravitational wave" in the group discussion of CPPCC, and the Minister of Science and Technology also made a corresponding comment on the "man-machine war". When NPC and CPPCC scientists are public figures talking about the world scientific and technological revolution and the scientific development direction of Kan Kan, ordinary people outside the scientific and technological circles will also be interested in this scientific and technological knowledge. When the general public is eager to know these cutting-edge knowledge, it will soon promote popular science work. A nation that will not be absent from the world's cutting-edge scientific forums is a powerful nation.
