Xiao Wenjiao pointed out in his speech that the Institute of Biodiversity is an important strategic scientific and technological force deployed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Xinjiang and is a research institute with a glorious history and fine traditions. In the 1950s and 1960s, the older generation of scientific and technological workers at the institute responded to the call of the Party and the country, and with the ideal of serving the country through science and technology, they gathered from all over the world, took root in Xinjiang, and devoted themselves to Xinjiang. They climbed snow-capped mountains, entered deserts, went to grasslands, and stepped on the Gobi Desert, and wrote a brilliant chapter in the development of science and technology for Xinjiang with their youth and passion, fostering the "birth-land spirit" of "unity, pioneering, dedication, and innovation".
Xiao Wenjiao emphasized that the Institute of Biodiversity should take the opportunity of building a scientific spirit education base of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to deeply explore the typical deeds of the older generation of scientists "taking roots in the frontier, working hard, and serving the people of all ethnic groups", and integrate more examples of promoting the spirit of scientists in the Xinjiang Natural History Museum, tell stories and inherit the spirit of biodiversity, focus on young scientific researchers and graduate students, strengthen ideological and political guidance, strengthen work style and academic style construction, firmly strengthen the original intention of innovating science and technology, serving the country, and benefiting the people, and continue to carry out the promotion and inheriting the spirit of scientists in the special work of action, build a strong, powerful and capable scientific and technological innovation team that can fight hard battles, and effectively fulfill the mission and responsibility of the national strategic scientific and technological force. During the
event, the Urumqi Hi-tech Zone (Xinshi District) New Era Civilization Practice Base was also unveiled at the Xinjiang Natural History Museum, Xinjiang Institute of Breeding Places. In his speech, Mu Huili, member of the Standing Committee of the Urumqi Hi-Tech Zone (Xinshi District) Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, said that the Hi-Tech Zone (Xinshi District) New Era Civilization Practice Base relies on the advantages of the Xinjiang Institute of Breeding Areas of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to explore new paths for civilized practice work that popularizes science and benefits the people and realizes the integration of grassroots resources. It is a high-tech "model" with distinct characteristics of civilized practice in the new era.
Zhang Yuanming said that the establishment of the Scientist Spirit Education Base of the Chinese Academy of Sciences marks the establishment of a new position to promote the spirit of scientists integrating display, publicity and education. In the next step, we will give full play to the role of the scientific spirit education base as the main base in promoting the scientific spirit, actively carry out inheritance and practice activities, inspire young scientific researchers to dare to overcome difficulties and climb to the peak of science and technology, and talk about the moving deeds of scientific researchers in the new era to promote the scientific spirit of scientists, and welcome the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with a good mental outlook and excellent scientific research results. After the unveiling of
, the Xinjiang Institute of Breeding Places, the Science and Education System of Xinjiang Natural History Museum 2.0 was officially released. Teacher Wang Huwen of Xinjiang Natural History Museum spoke and introduced the advantageous resources, science and education concepts, and the direction of museum-school cooperation. He said: "Xinjiang Natural Museum will integrate the expert resources, collection resources, course resources, etc. of the museum, and provide the school with rich and optional museum-specific courses, educational activities and diverse customized R&D service systems through the methods of "going out of school" and "please enter school". While meeting the personal development of students, it will continue to play the role of an important scientific and educational position of the museum under the "double reduction" policy."
30 student representatives from 113 Middle School in Urumqi, Xinjiang came to participate in the event and listen to the lecture. They have a deeper understanding of the Xinjiang Natural Museum, a deeper understanding of nature, and are full of desire for scientific knowledge. Li Haotian from Grade 4 Class 2 said that Teacher Wang’s lectures are vivid and interesting, providing a new perspective for viewing things in life in the future. It is different from the learning in school textbooks. It can truly appreciate the manifestation of science in life and also provide a broader platform for students to acquire knowledge and summarize laws.
In the future, the Xinjiang Natural Museum will also play its role as a hub for science and education resources, establish a science and education linkage cluster of "Museum-Research Institute-Outdoor Station", integrate museum-research cooperation resources, promote the in-depth integration of education, popular science and technology and scientific research, and provide the vast number of primary and secondary schools with broader fields and deeper scientific and educational characteristics.
