科技弄潮儿：我眼中的科技

热爱科技的方式有很多，可以是将点子化作产品，也可以是将科学知识传递给更多人。在科技从业者眼中，科技的发展需要什么，又将如何发展呢？

科技生产需要年轻人来“闯”

我曾一度认为科技发明很困难，离自己也很遥远。

由于老弄丢宿舍钥匙，我通常会多配几把并分开放，需要时总能找到一把。然而吉林大学的姜同学思考的却是，能不能设计一款智能锁，让自己直接通过手机上的APP来开锁。在通过实验验证了APP开锁比机械钥匙开锁时间短的结论后，他开始着手正式研发。他设计的APP叫“锁引”，已经拿到了两项专利。除了智能开锁外，姜同学还为它加入了考勤等功能。这样富有创造力的同龄人不止一个，B站UP主“老师好我叫何同学”自制的星轨拍摄仪、拍摄的与600万人的合影等，都既有科技范儿又创意十足。他们的行为给了我启发，我也正在设计一款自己感兴趣的产品。我相信，随着越来越多有想法、有能力的年轻人投身科技创业，我们的生活将会越发充满惊喜。

亲自体验，触碰科学的魅力

过去，谈起理想时，很多学生会说想当科学家、天文学家，现在却很少能听见学生这样回答了。其实，不是他们不再爱科学了，而是我们这些教育者、引导者没让他们爱上科学。在担任科学老师的几年里，我发现，很多学生都对科学充满了好奇，并且积极上进，真正缺乏的其实是探索科学的渠道。

我教授的科学课是一个探索科学的重要渠道，由于涉及的知识广泛，授课对我来说挑战不小。为了让学生对知识的认识更深，我会在课堂上设计一些体验活动和动手操作环节。此外，我也会带大家参加航模大赛、科创大赛，组织科技节活动、外出参展等。希望通过独特又多样的经历，学生们能体会到科学的快乐，保持对科学的兴趣。

Women， the important figure in science field， are missing

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.

我一直在寫关于科学和技术的文章，记录科技领域中的重要人物，但却很少写到重要的女性人物。有一种偏见叫“玛蒂尔达效应”，指女性在科学中遭受不公正待遇，科学成就被忽略，从而在历史中被湮没。比如女性射电天文学家乔瑟琳·贝尔发现了脉冲星，可诺贝尔奖却颁给了男性。这些“误会”如果不被消除，那些重要的女性就无法被人们知晓并记住，我们也将永远不会知道关于她们的故事和历史的真相。

We should spend more money on science

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.

科學帮助我们认识宇宙、解决问题，还改变了全世界数十亿人的生活。但部分人没有意识到科学的重要性，他们认为钱应该花在有实际意义的事情上，而不是某个科学家身上。可要知道，我们取得的重要技术进步，正是来自科学家们的研究。如果想未来生活得更美好，我们需要在科学上投入更多的资金。
