? There are three highlights in this book: first, each chapter traces the history and discusses the evolution and development of biological history at home and abroad, which has the tendency of "taking history as a mirror and creating the future". The second is the academic tips of animals and plants, which tells the progress of genomics research, and at the same time marks the journals published by research results, with references, which is scientific and convenient for interested people to further study. Third, the concept of life science conveyed is worth thinking about. "The gene is the cause, and the future has come." Technology has witnessed different times of species upgrading, from the farming civilization of "rice, millet and millet are eaten by people" to the seed bank, to the national gene bank, and finally to the spatial gene bank of global animal and plant DNA map proposed by China Space Station on the Wandering Earth. The purpose is to make everything have the guarantee of "eternal life", and the purpose is whether human beings can finally solve the ultimate proposition of overcoming disease and death.
? It is particularly worth mentioning that the full text always insists on using easy-to-understand language, focusing on popular science, and the reading experience is excellent, just like an expert uses the language you can understand as much as possible, quotes relevant historical stories, and tells you what you should know about biology, but there are many misunderstandings. I even read some chapters directly to my 6-year-old, and he was very interested. I think this has reached the author's expectation. The research team headed by the author has been racing with other countries in the world gene technology competition for many years. Through unremitting efforts, it has helped China's genetic technology to catch up from the desperate situation to the basic synchronization, and from the basic synchronization to some international leading levels, which reflects the professionalism of scientists in overcoming difficulties. What's even more rare is that while we are concentrating on scientific research, we have also set up public welfare funds such as "China Fund" and "Guangming Fund" to pay attention to global genetic diseases, tumors and infectious diseases and devote ourselves to promoting genetic technology to benefit mankind; At the same time, he hosted radio stations such as Arabian Nights and Yin Ge Chatting Genes and official WeChat accounts, enthusiastically participated in various online and offline popular science activities, and vigorously promoted the popularization of life sciences; It embodies a strong sense of home and country and mission. As Academician Yang and Dr. Wu Jun mentioned in the preface of the recommendation letter, popular science is definitely a very important thing for a country and a nation, which helps people to face up to science, understand science, believe in science and pay attention to science, and has a far-reaching impact on the development of the country and society; This is by no means an easy task. It requires practitioners to have a "bucket of water reserve", be good at using easy-to-understand language and expressions of people who love music, and let the audience really get a glass of water, which puts higher demands on people engaged in popular science work. Yesterday, May 30th, coincided with the National Science and Technology Workers' Day. I want to take this short article to pay tribute to all the scientific researchers and relatives engaged in popular science work! If you want to chase, chase the star of science and technology! This is the brightest and most beautiful star [fireworks]
