Communication to public is important.

I suddenly realized that I had no sense of spreading our science at all - when I was reading the background information in the Biowriting class. Even though I am in the 'science' field, I do not believe in global warming effect - First, there is no related introduction to 'public' and non-climate people. Second, I heard a lot of rumors that their research is focusing on a corner rather than a large scale, which means if you consider the overall effect, the iceberg is not melting. Maybe our earth is indeed becoming warmer and warmer but those climate people need to introduce their data more regularly to public so that we can be convinced. What they are doing now is simply emphasizing that we need to reduce CO2 release and how to reduce it but we do not understand why at all.

It is this condition in a developed country US, so not to mention in a developing country China. Maybe next time go back to China, I should organize a workshop or a series of presentations about our research, from the very basic knowledge to deep details. The speakers will be scholars studying and working in US. For my part, at least I can explain how signal is conducted through our nervous system and how memory is formed.
