科技弄潮兒：我眼中的科技

熱愛(ài)科技的方式有很多，可以是將點(diǎn)子化作產(chǎn)品，也可以是將科學(xué)知識(shí)傳遞給更多人。在科技從業(yè)者眼中，科技的發(fā)展需要什么，又將如何發(fā)展呢？

科技生產(chǎn)需要年輕人來(lái)“闖”

點(diǎn)點(diǎn)君

男，20歲，上海，學(xué)生

我曾一度認(rèn)為科技發(fā)明很困難，離自己也很遙遠(yuǎn)。

由于老弄丟宿舍鑰匙，我通常會(huì)多配幾把并分開(kāi)放，需要時(shí)總能找到一把。然而吉林大學(xué)的姜同學(xué)思考的卻是，能不能設(shè)計(jì)一款智能鎖，讓自己直接通過(guò)手機(jī)上的APP來(lái)開(kāi)鎖。在通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)驗(yàn)證了APP開(kāi)鎖比機(jī)械鑰匙開(kāi)鎖時(shí)間短的結(jié)論后，他開(kāi)始著手正式研發(fā)。他設(shè)計(jì)的APP叫“鎖引”，已經(jīng)拿到了兩項(xiàng)專利。除了智能開(kāi)鎖外，姜同學(xué)還為它加入了考勤等功能。這樣富有創(chuàng)造力的同齡人不止一個(gè)，B站UP主“老師好我叫何同學(xué)”自制的星軌拍攝儀、拍攝的與600萬(wàn)人的合影等，都既有科技范兒又創(chuàng)意十足。他們的行為給了我啟發(fā)，我也正在設(shè)計(jì)一款自己感興趣的產(chǎn)品。我相信，隨著越來(lái)越多有想法、有能力的年輕人投身科技創(chuàng)業(yè)，我們的生活將會(huì)越發(fā)充滿驚喜。

親自體驗(yàn)，觸碰科學(xué)的魅力

發(fā)光的魚

女，26歲，上海，科學(xué)老師

過(guò)去，談起理想時(shí)，很多學(xué)生會(huì)說(shuō)想當(dāng)科學(xué)家、天文學(xué)家，現(xiàn)在卻很少能聽(tīng)見(jiàn)學(xué)生這樣回答了。其實(shí)，不是他們不再愛(ài)科學(xué)了，而是我們這些教育者、引導(dǎo)者沒(méi)讓他們愛(ài)上科學(xué)。在擔(dān)任科學(xué)老師的幾年里，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，很多學(xué)生都對(duì)科學(xué)充滿了好奇，并且積極上進(jìn)，真正缺乏的其實(shí)是探索科學(xué)的渠道。

我教授的科學(xué)課是一個(gè)探索科學(xué)的重要渠道，由于涉及的知識(shí)廣泛，授課對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)挑戰(zhàn)不小。為了讓學(xué)生對(duì)知識(shí)的認(rèn)識(shí)更深，我會(huì)在課堂上設(shè)計(jì)一些體驗(yàn)活動(dòng)和動(dòng)手操作環(huán)節(jié)。此外，我也會(huì)帶大家參加航模大賽、科創(chuàng)大賽，組織科技節(jié)活動(dòng)、外出參展等。希望通過(guò)獨(dú)特又多樣的經(jīng)歷，學(xué)生們能體會(huì)到科學(xué)的快樂(lè)，保持對(duì)科學(xué)的興趣。

Women， the important figure in science field， are missing

Katie

32-year-old， live in New York science podcast host

I've been writing about science and technologyfor decades， most of that time for The New York Times，but very rarely did I write about a woman who was amajor figure. I don't remember it bothering me verymuch at the time. It just seemed normal.

I believed I was writing about the most importantpeople in their fields， but it became clear， as my careerwent on， that important figures were missing， namelywomen. I started asking why. This was a couple ofyears ago， and I kept coming back to something calledthe Matilda Effect， which is basically a bias againstacknowledging women for their work in science.Instead， the credit goes to a man. A good exampleI saw in the news recently is Jocelyn Bell Burnell.She's a radio astronomer who discovered the first twopulsars， but the Nobel prize went to a man. If we don'tcatch these misattributions， these women can just fadeaway from our consciousness， and we'll never knowthe truth about their story and about our history.

我一直在寫關(guān)于科學(xué)和技術(shù)的文章，記錄科技領(lǐng)域中的重要人物，但卻很少寫到重要的女性人物。有一種偏見(jiàn)叫“瑪?shù)贍栠_(dá)效應(yīng)”，指女性在科學(xué)中遭受不公正待遇，科學(xué)成就被忽略，從而在歷史中被湮沒(méi)。比如女性射電天文學(xué)家喬瑟琳·貝爾發(fā)現(xiàn)了脈沖星，可諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)卻頒給了男性。這些“誤會(huì)”如果不被消除，那些重要的女性就無(wú)法被人們知曉并記住，我們也將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道關(guān)于她們的故事和歷史的真相。

We should spend more money on science

Angus

22-year-old， live in Edinburgh graduate student in computer science

I don't think that all people realize just howimportant science is. By learning about our universethrough science， we can better solve problems that weface today and may face in the future. Through sciencewe have transformed the lives of billions of peoplearound the world.

Quantum physics has allowed us to buildtransistors. There are billions of them in the deviceyou're reading this on， and on every other device outthere. It's helped revolutionize our society like no othertechnology before it， and it all starts with science. Butwhen those scientists of the 1920's and 30's were firstformulating Quantum Theory， they couldn't see thepractical applications of it. And there lies the moral ofthe story.

I don't think we， as a society， do enough infunding scientific endeavors. People complainthat money should be spent on doing things withpractical applications， instead of on scientists in somelaboratory. But what they don't realize is that someof the most important technological advances wehave made come from scientific theories from thosescientists.

So if we want to build a better world for ourselves，we need to spend more， not less， money on science.

科學(xué)幫助我們認(rèn)識(shí)宇宙、解決問(wèn)題，還改變了全世界數(shù)十億人的生活。但部分人沒(méi)有意識(shí)到科學(xué)的重要性，他們認(rèn)為錢應(yīng)該花在有實(shí)際意義的事情上，而不是某個(gè)科學(xué)家身上。可要知道，我們?nèi)〉玫闹匾夹g(shù)進(jìn)步，正是來(lái)自科學(xué)家們的研究。如果想未來(lái)生活得更美好，我們需要在科學(xué)上投入更多的資金。
