科技弄潮兒：我眼中的科技

熱愛科技的方式有很多，可以是將點子化作產(chǎn)品，也可以是將科學知識傳遞給更多人。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“闖”

我曾一度認為科技發(fā)明很困難，離自己也很遙遠。

由于老弄丟宿舍鑰匙，我通常會多配幾把并分開放，需要時總能找到一把。然而吉林大學的姜同學思考的卻是，能不能設(shè)計一款智能鎖，讓自己直接通過手機上的APP來開鎖。在通過實驗驗證了APP開鎖比機械鑰匙開鎖時間短的結(jié)論后，他開始著手正式研發(fā)。他設(shè)計的APP叫“鎖引”，已經(jīng)拿到了兩項專利。除了智能開鎖外，姜同學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，B站UP主“老師好我叫何同學”自制的星軌拍攝儀、拍攝的與600萬人的合影等，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)計一款自己感興趣的產(chǎn)品。我相信，隨著越來越多有想法、有能力的年輕人投身科技創(chuàng)業(yè)，我們的生活將會越發(fā)充滿驚喜。

親自體驗，觸碰科學的魅力

發(fā)光的魚

女，26歲，上海，科學老師

過去，談起理想時，很多學生會說想當科學家、天文學家，現(xiàn)在卻很少能聽見學生這樣回答了。其實，不是他們不再愛科學了，而是我們這些教育者、引導者沒讓他們愛上科學。在擔任科學老師的幾年里，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，很多學生都對科學充滿了好奇，并且積極上進，真正缺乏的其實是探索科學的渠道。

我教授的科學課是一個探索科學的重要渠道，由于涉及的知識廣泛，授課對我來說挑戰(zhàn)不小。為了讓學生對知識的認識更深，我會在課堂上設(shè)計一些體驗活動和動手操作環(huán)節(jié)。此外，我也會帶大家參加航模大賽、科創(chuàng)大賽，組織科技節(jié)活動、外出參展等。希望通過獨特又多樣的經(jīng)歷，學生們能體會到科學的快樂，保持對科學的興趣。

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。有一種偏見叫“瑪?shù)贍栠_效應(yīng)”，指女性在科學中遭受不公正待遇，科學成就被忽略，從而在歷史中被湮沒。比如女性射電天文學家喬瑟琳·貝爾發(fā)現(xiàn)了脈沖星，可諾貝爾獎卻頒給了男性。這些“誤會”如果不被消除，那些重要的女性就無法被人們知曉并記住，我們也將永遠不會知道關(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.

科學幫助我們認識宇宙、解決問題，還改變了全世界數(shù)十億人的生活。但部分人沒有意識到科學的重要性，他們認為錢應(yīng)該花在有實際意義的事情上，而不是某個科學家身上?？梢?，我們?nèi)〉玫闹匾夹g(shù)進步，正是來自科學家們的研究。如果想未來生活得更美好，我們需要在科學上投入更多的資金。
