Abstract

While science popularization has been long and firmly believed to be one of the social responsibilities of scientists, discoveries and innovation in both fundamental researches and advanced technologies achieved by scientists and engineers have revolutionized our views of the world and pushed forward the rapid progress and development of our human society. Yet, recent years have witnessed the so-called emerging new media and knowledge explosion, posing a big challenge to our conventional framework of both science research and science popularization. Many new problems have arisen and need to be solved through a cooperative way and joined efforts by government, science and education communities, media and even enterprises.
