Netizens gathered to ask about the edible value of new species. Should we be criticized?
Recently, a paper published in the international journal Frontiers of Microbiology recorded a new global species - chanterelle phyllum. It is reported that this bacteria was discovered by Lin Wenfei, Institute of Edible Fungi, School of Life Sciences, Zhejiang University, in , Tianmushan . The surface of the cap is smooth and slightly greasy, with a creamy white to off-white color; the meat is solid; and the smell is not obvious. Once the news was reported, the comment section of many media in was "Can you eat it?" "Is it delicious?" "How to eat it?" and other messages were "conquered". For this reason, some public opinion accused the meme of "can, good, and how" that hides the shortcomings of ecological consciousness and green civilization.
White-covered Chanterelle.
It is not difficult to think of the value concept that the accuser hopes to convey, that is, the harmonious coexistence between man and nature; it is not difficult to understand the ecological reality behind hidden worries, that is, the survival status of rare species faces challenges. In addition, the news that the Yangtze River Sturgeon , which has been on the newspapers in recent times, and the Internet celebrity rabbit sturgeon "现子子" died of suffocation, has attracted strong attention from people's wildlife protection. is why this means that netizens should not be curious about the edible value of new species? Even if you want to hit the question "can, good, and how" after the joke appears? The answer is undoubtedly no.
, does not rule out the ridicule and joking intentions of some netizens leaving messages. Since is called "music", it is naturally indispensable for elements such as funny and humor. Discovering new life outside common species is a gratifying thing. It seems that netizens express their inner feelings in the new form of memes. On the contrary, if you solemnly criticize jokes, it will give people a sense of dislocation of excitement and humor. Second, "curiosity creates scientists and poets", and maintaining a desire for knowledge is extremely precious. new species chanterelles, white-covered, must contain many unknown characteristics to be "unlocked". It must be admitted that the reckless practice of eating first is not advisable, but if you understand and explore its biological value, scientific value, etc. more while following safety tips, it is a useful way to enhance your awareness of knowledge and improve your own scientific literacy.
Only when science is mastered by the public can it illuminate the way forward. looks at the past, from the 10th edition of the "Xinhua Dictionary"'s annotation on some animals, including "fine and delicious meat", etc., to the online fight between the "tomb robbery circle" and the "archaeological circle" caused by " Tomb Raiders' Chronicles ", to the current "can, good, how" questions caused a few voices to worry about the protection of new species, and the continuous emergence of various similar cases, behind is people's strong call for scientific knowledge and their concepts. The latest statistics show that in 2020, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy reached 10.56%, an increase of nearly 1 times from 6.2% in 2015. To make the "wing" of popular science harden, this requires the country and society to vigorously strengthen the construction of popular science capabilities, actively innovate the forms of popular science communication, and work hard to popularize the knowledge of science and technology, promote scientific methods and civilized ideas. Although the new species of
are small, you should not believe in blindly eating; popular science is important, and you should move forward steadily. is the only thing that is popular in the online world.
