"Most of these specimens were collected by teachers and students in the field practice base. Today, I feel very happy to pass on what I have learned to primary and secondary school students." He Kunrun and Jing Xinjing,

sophomores from the College of Life Sciences of Zhengzhou University, shared their experience as interpreters in this activity. "Compared to the past, this activity received more students and a wide range of students. This popularization of science can increase their strong interest in biology, and also let them better understand the knowledge of biology textbooks."

In addition to viewing, hands-on operation is also a highlight of this event. At the site of the biological specimen making area, the staff not only provided various necessary materials and tools,

but also the instructor taught the production skills on the spot. "After holding the butterfly in place by a groove in the middle of the flap, we then move on to the flap."

The staff explained the steps of making butterfly specimens in detail to the primary school students who came to experience, so that students had the opportunity to make their own biological specimens by themselves, and enhanced their understanding and interest in biological knowledge.

Not only that, the plant dyeing area also allows students to experience the charm of natural colors. Primary and secondary school students used fresh plants to dye canvas bags and clothing, and tap to make the SAP of the plants ooze out,

leaving the natural colors, shapes and veins of the plants on the cloth. During the production process, the volunteers popularized the structural characteristics and growth process of plants, which not only let the students understand the traditional techniques of plant dyeing, but also inspired them to think about how to use ordinary plants to create.

"This activity was taught by the teacher, so that my children learned some biological knowledge in the process of experience, which has a very good guiding role for my family's children who are about to enter the eighth grade." Said Zheng Weihua, a parent of a seventh-grade student at Zhengzhou Fengyang Foreign Language Middle School.

In addition, lectures on topics such as Understanding Brain Science Research from Phenomena in Life were also warmly welcomed by students. Experts use easy to understand language, combined with examples from life, deep and simple analysis of complex scientific problems, so that students can learn professional knowledge in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The activities of this Biotechnology Culture Month not only enrich students' extracurricular life, but also greatly enhance students' scientific literacy and practical ability, and stimulate students' enthusiasm and curiosity for biotechnology,

which will have a positive impact on their future study and career. "We hope to create a positive, open and dynamic social atmosphere for the development of biology through this event,

and attract more young people, especially children, to join such a promising discipline in the future." Said Lu Jike, executive dean of the School of Life Sciences at Zhengzhou University.
The 2024 Science and Technology Annual Meeting of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences opened in Han

Scientific and technological progress will lead the coordinated progress of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, effectively promote the battle against pollution prevention and control, ecological environment protection and restoration,

and all-round green transformation of economic and social development, and comprehensively safeguard the construction of a beautiful China. Hubei Province is rich in ecological resources, vibrant innovation vitality,

and superior scientific and technological innovation environment, making it an ideal place for ecological environmental scientific and technological innovation. We will strengthen innovation-driven development,

promote synergies in reducing pollution and carbon emissions, promote green transformation in the industrial structure, energy structure, transport structure, and urban and rural development, and activate new engines of green and low-carbon development.

Create a first-class ecology, coordinate the coordinated development of education, science and technology, and talents in the field of ecological environment, build a good government guidance fund group, enrich the fertile soil for innovation,

build a green and low-carbon innovation choice, accelerate the construction of beautiful Hubei, and realize the green rise. I hope to take this annual meeting as an opportunity to work hand in hand with the vast number of friends in the ecological environment and science and technology industry to pursue new and green, and jointly draw a new picture of the construction of beautiful China and create a new situation in the construction of beautiful China.

Wang Jinnan, President of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences, delivered a speech. Vice Governor Zhang Wentong, Mayor of Wuhan Cheng Yongwen, academician Liu Wenqing, He Kebin, Ren Hongqiang and other experts,

representatives of ecological and environmental management departments, universities, research institutes and related enterprises and institutions attended the meeting.

The opening event also presented the "2023 Environmental Protection Science and Technology Award", the "Sixth Chinese Society of Environmental Science Young Scientist Award" and the "Chinese Society of Environmental Science 2024 Member" certificate.
