Promoting scientific and technological innovation and giving play to the positive role of popular science is of great significance to the "rice bowl" in the hands of Chinese. **The general secretary stressed that the popularization of science should be placed in the same important position as scientific and technological innovation. Young agricultural scientists are not only pioneers of scientific and technological innovation, but also one of the main forces of science popularization. In the new era, young agricultural scientists give full play to their own advantages, actively carry out a variety of forms of science popularization, and strive to sow scientific seeds among the masses, demonstrating the spirit of responsibility of scientific workers in the new era.
The vast number of scientific and technological workers take it as their responsibility to improve the scientific quality of the whole people, and take the popularization of scientific knowledge, the promotion of the scientific spirit, the dissemination of scientific ideas, and the advocacy of scientific methods as their unshirkable responsibility." Young agricultural scientists have changed the concept of popular science, carefully produced popular science content, innovated and planned popular science forms, and made full use of various means and methods to implement popular science actions in a unique and unique way.
They have a solid knowledge reserve, are young and energetic, full of enthusiasm, and are generally proficient in network technology, which has laid the foundation for them to popularize science in their hearts and minds, and see results in actionThey are full of humanistic care and carry out popular science in the form of relaxed and equal dialogue, making popular science more humane, popular and life-oriented, and better accepted by the masses. For example, the "Science Café" in Yunnan Province allows scientists to interact with the masses cordially in the way of "coffee + science" relaxed dialogue, which has received rave reviews on the Internet and is very popular. For another example, China Agricultural University set up a science and technology institute in Quzhou County, Hebei Province, where young agricultural scientists and scientific research teams applied technologies such as satellite navigation fine sowing and drip irrigation and fertilizer integration in practice, and promoted them through field observation meetings, science and technology broadcasting, and other forms of solutions, and achieved good results.
The informatization of popular science is very important for the modernization of popular science. Young agricultural scientists keep up with the trend of the times, and in addition to using traditional forms such as popular science lectures, salons, exhibitions, books and texts, they also apply modern information technology to enhance the effectiveness of popular science dissemination. Some of them are the creators of popular science short on the Internet platform, combining interesting explanations with popular science content, conveying the scientific spirit to the majority of netizens, and at the same time, breaking the potential rumors and pseudo-science in the online world. With the popularity of live streaming on the Internet, popular science lectures by young agricultural scientists are usually conducted in a combination of online and offline ways. Compared with offline lectures, online live broadcast and recorded broadcast have the advantages of wide influence and relatively low cost, which can better balance the differences in regional science and education resources, and are deeply loved and welcomed by the masses.
It is an irreplaceable advantage and value for young agricultural scientists to carry out science popularization. Many young agricultural scientists work in universities or related research institutions, and have high-quality popular science resources that can be used for popular science activities. They can unite and organize potential science popularization personnel around them, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of in-service agricultural science and technology workers, college students and people from all walks of life to participate in science popularization activities, and have the conditions to organize and form a high-quality science popularization volunteer team. Young agricultural scientists also have the advantage of taking advantage of the resources of the agricultural science infrastructure around them. The scientific research institutions or scientific research bases where they are located store all kinds of scientific equipment, scientific facilities and scientific devices, which can vigorously promote the transformation of scientific and technological basic hardware resources into popular science infrastructure resources. At the same time, the scientific thinking, scientific methods, scientific thoughts, scientific concepts, etc., as well as the scientific literacy and scientific spirit displayed in daily work and life, are their unique internal resource advantages for science popularization.
Young agricultural science experts have joined the team of science popularization, which has promoted the improvement of productivity and economic and social development. Scientific and technological innovation needs the support of popular science, and popular science is inseparable from the guidance of scientific and technological innovation, and the two help each other and transform each other. Young agricultural scientists are the main force of agricultural science and technology innovation, and they join the agricultural science popularization team, so that the professional knowledge from books and laboratories can be transformed into methods and means that people can understand, practice and operate, so that scientific knowledge can be tested and played a role in concrete practiceAt the same time, the real and new problems encountered in practice provide samples for scientific research, and provide a basis and reference for scientific research to continuously enhance its pertinence and practicability. Such a benign interaction has promoted the transformation and application of agricultural scientific and technological innovation achievements, and promoted the coordinated development of scientific and technological innovation and scientific popularization.
Young agricultural scientists carry out science popularization to demonstrate the spirit of responsibility. The vast number of young agricultural scientists insist on innovation for the people, and actively promote scientific and technological achievements to benefit the people, and their sense of responsibility and spirit also originate from the people.
They pay more attention to the guidance of scientific spirit, scientific thinking and scientific method in popular science, and broaden the channels for the dissemination and popularization of high-quality popular science content, so that the masses can have access to more high-quality popular science content. Among China's young agricultural scientists, many of them attach importance to telling knowledge and disseminating experience in the process of popularizing science, so as to promote the cultivation of scientific and cultural qualities of the massesIt also attaches importance to moral influence and conveys truth, goodness and beauty, so as to promote the improvement of the moral consciousness of the masses. Such a practice is conducive to the construction of material civilization and spiritual civilization, and provides assistance for the smooth implementation of the party's scientific and technological principles and policiesIn the process of promoting economic development and social progress, we can also change people's production and lifestyle, thereby enhancing the innovation ability of the whole society, enhancing the spiritual strength and competitive strength of the nation, and promoting the better and faster development of science and technology.
Popular science is an important channel for the healthy growth of young agricultural scientists. On the one hand, young agricultural scientists bravely shoulder the important task of scientific and technological innovation in science popularization, and effectively transform some of the scientific research results in their hands into real productivity through science popularization, so as to promote the deep integration of agricultural technology and economy and societyOn the other hand, young agricultural scientists continue to temper their will, fulfill their duties, not be afraid of difficulties, carefully design popular science content, carefully select popular science methods, accurately grasp popular science objects, and differentiate and hierarchical the focus of popular science content according to the characteristics of different popular science objects, which have boosted the all-round growth of scientific workers in the new era.
We believe that in the future, more young agricultural scientists will join the ranks of science popularization, have the courage to take responsibility and be good at fulfilling their responsibilities, constantly promote the spirit of science, popularize scientific knowledge, and sow the seeds of science among the masses through different kinds of science popularization.
