BEIJING, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ A news report by China.org.cn:
A TV forum themed “Science in an Uncertain World” was held in Beijing on December 8, co-sponsored by China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and CGTN Think Tank. Ten Nobel Laureates, 30 top Chinese academicians and 300 young scientists attended both online and off-line, discussing the role of the science and the importance of scientific literacy amid challenges.
The world has faced multiple challenges in 2020, which signifies the importance of science and technology as well as the importance of collaboration. The forum is therefore highly relevant.

science guy. thank you for joining us, bill. we appreciate it. how did this debate come about? well, a little over a year ago, i mentioned something to the associated press about my concern about science literacy, and people who want to teach that the earth might be 10,000 years old in science class, and how this would not be in the best interests of the united states or really of the world. and so one thing led to another, and this notorious or well-known creationist asked me to debate him. i said, okay. let me bring in what the founder of the creation museum, who you will be debating wrote about all of this. he says this debate will help highlight the fact that so many are just missing the bible because of evolution, even many young people decided the
presented to the public might be different. and i think for me, honestly, what s most important, yes, i want to see more young people get interested and excited about the scientists so that they can come up and be scientists, innovators, engineers, mathematicians working in the tech sector. at the same time, when people ask me why i m a science communicator, i say it s all about science literacy. i m not talking about everybody turning into a scientist, but about the general public. people who have jobs and are focused on what they love and care about, being more scientifically literal. looking at the world through scientific lenses. because science illuminates dark corners and brings us out of fear and helps us understand the world as it is and not as somebody on high told us it is. i think that s fundamental to having a functioning democracy. good to see you. thanks for your time.
