Our thoughts
Science is at the service of mankind. Health is the foundation of a person. We have noticed that there is still a scaring number of patients died because of non-genetic CVD and the number of CVD patients is increasing every year. Bad habits are important factors leading to this disease. However, scientists can help people keep away from the disease by giving advice on healthy lifestyle according to scientific research. As we know there are always lack of a bridge connecting scientists and people. So we want to build a bridge between science and life. And based on three theories below, we started our education activities.
1.Education is a tree shaking a tree, a cloud to promote a cloud, a soul awaken another soul.
2.The six degrees of separation theory states that any inhabitant of the Earth could meet anyone in the world with a maximum of six or fewer mutual connections between them and another person.
3.Actions can be more impressive than just saying.
So we want to try practical education, expand our audiences and build a bridge between science and daily life.
Education is a kind of communication among different statuses. The process of education and communication is actually a transmission of information, and these two are closely related with each other. What worth to be noticed through this transmission process in education is that refer to the side of transmission(Which is different from the side that receives the transmission)can also get the feedback. This process of education, had proved that people are neglect about healthy life style and determined our direction toward our project as well. For the situation of COVID-19, all these activities can't reach a larger scale. Meanwhile, we compared different ways of education during having education. Though we chose the practical education, didn't mean we will deny other forms of education. We embrace different ways of education.
Class Teaching
Children are the hope of the future. In summer holidays, our team members have taught the students in primary school courses in theme "Life Journey" and theme "Blood and Physiology" In order to popularize and impress the knowledge of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases more easily, we played a related card game. What's more, we also introduced the definition of synthetic biology and its significance in a plain way. We hope this can intrigue their interests in science exploring in an early age. Although it took a long time for us to preparing these classes, it's worthy when we sensed the curiosity toward science from those little kids. After our teaching, most of the students could tell how important health is and they were also glad to talk about CVD with their families. It should be noted that we have gotten parents' consent.
Pratical Education
"Biological Health Week" activity: The main cause of CVD is bad living and eating habits. According to the "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2021", there are many people with bad living and eating habits. Therefore, we carried out a five-day "Biological Health Week Activity" by means of practical education to popularize science among college students in our university. The activity is divided into two parts:
① Contest- knowledge popularize: We set up a booth to popularize the knowledge of healthy life through online knowledge answering, and made a questionnaire survey about healthy life (sample size: 165).
②Jogging - practice deepened: jogging is an important way to relieve stress. Nowadays, the competitive pressure in the university is becoming more and more intense. Many people develop bad life and eating habits because of the pressure can not be properly discharged. Therefore, we improved our education by using the form of fixed point jogging and reward. 124 people participated in our activities.
Publicity Education
The advantage of publicity education is that it is wide in scope and low in cost.
Bilibili live broadcast platform thrombosis science lecture: Live broadcast platform can expand the scope of science popularization. We and YiYe-China team jointly held an online science lecture, in the popular live broadcast platform Bilibili platform to open online live broadcast. We mainly introduced the team project and cardiovascular diseases related knowledge, which attracted 9532 viewers. They asked some related questions and we answered them. This activity also received a good feedback in the end.
Probiotics Handbook: To help people use probiotics properly, HZAU-China and LZU-HS-PRO-A have made a probiotics handbook to help people buy and use probiotics. The manual introduces the functions and principles of different kinds of probiotics in detail, which can be used as a reference when people buy probiotic products.
Account publicity:We have carried out the popularization and science practice of thrombosis on the WeChat public account.
