This paper presents a textual analysis of the science-history content in the journal from 1933 to 1949, exploring how mass media disseminated the knowledge of science history during the Republic of China era and the societal perceptions it reflected. The findings reveal that Science Pictorial's approach to science history reflects an empirical view of science and a progressive view of science history embraced by science communicators. This highlights the strong sense of national crisis felt by Chinese intellectuals at the time, the broad impact of scientific thinking and their deep respect for the scientific community. From a historiographical perspective, we propose that research on science communication should consider the communicators' views on science and science history, as well as the ideological motivations and social forces shaping these views. This approach enables us to tackle more fundamental questions, such as why we conduct science communication and what we should communicate. We also suggest that science communicators should not only disseminate scientific knowledge but also account for the historical and cultural contexts of science. Ideally, they should develop a strong foundation in the historiography of science to help build a comprehensive framework for science communication.展开更多

However, due to the limitations of their professional background, science teachers and science-popularization workers still face problems in understanding the history of science, which naturally affects the appropriate use of resources on the history of science in science communication. One possible way to solve this problem is to learn and gain some basic knowledge of the historiography of science.展开更多

In recent years, research on the science-communication(popularization) function of science and technology museums in China has broadened in scope, and the history of science, as an important academic resource for promoting science, has gained growing recognition. However, from a historiographical perspective, only a few scholars have engaged in research on the application of the history of science in science and technology museums. Research on this subject remains in an infant stage and fails to fully capture the underpinning role of the history of science in science education and communication. In particular, as a theoretical resource, the significance and value of views on the history of science in guiding science communication has been largely neglected. This paper discusses the current situation and associated problems at both the research and practical levels of museums,explores the importance and necessity of science communication in museums in the context of science historiography, and provides some insights for science communication in museums.展开更多

A brief summary is offered of some particular posture of scientific journalism from within new media. With the above background, four priorities for future science communication in context of new media are introduced： （1） a brief description about the actual status of science communication within the new media and mass communication process in general; （2） a solid theoretical and conceptual frame for scientific journalism within new media context; （3） a description of some possible forms of public for scientific journalism; （4） a brief analysis upon the possible set of negative effects of scientific journalism in new media and globalization context, and a need for a larger perspective in any attempt to understand the phenomenon of science communication within new media and mass communication processes.展开更多

In science communication people, for example, experts or scientists attempt to persuade lay people about the validity of their assessments. Currently dialogue in science communication might be seen as an important way to deliver information about sciences to the public as previously communicating science was conducted through top-down approaches. In addition, currently there is a tendency that people prefer to deliver and to receive information about sciences through two-way communication models between two or more parties, face-to-face or mediated by any means of communication as this way of communication is seen as more interactive. In the context of Indonesia, in terms of social science communication, this is an important phenomenon to investigate as two-way communication models might bridge the gap between expert opinion and lay opinion, where lay opinion is often seen as irrational or emotional. However, there are still a small number of studies with regard to how social sciences are communicated to the public and in what ways people preferred to deliver, moreover to discuss information within social sciences. One of the potential reasons is that research on science communication is mainly focused on natural and physical sciences. Since the study in this paper focuses on dialogic interactions in social science communication, this study will contribute to the current discussions of mass communication, in terms of science communication, and to related fields.展开更多

This triggered a wide debate on ‘poison' in traditional Chinese medicine.The popular TV show A Bite of China 3 also put the safety issue of traditional Chinese medicines as tonic food in the spotlight of public opinion. In fact, there are many misunderstandings about poison in descriptions of food safety and medicine safety on the internet and WeChat. From the perspective of science communication, our understanding of poison and its uses should transcend the monism of Western science.展开更多

This study is one of the few studies concerning scientific research groups in China. In 2018, our research team surveyed the public-oriented science communication activities of 601scientific research groups in China using questionnaires. The survey shows that Chinese scientific research groups are active in promoting science to the public, and that related work structure and guarantee mechanisms have been established and have already produced some social benefits. However, there remain challenges, including limited channels for science communication, insufficient collaboration among the participants in the communication process and unbalanced investment. Based on an analysis of the survey results, we put forward several suggestions on how to encourage scientific research groups of universities and research institutions to engage in public-oriented science communication activities.展开更多
