what does the colorful world look like under the microscope?

how do cells "put on" gorgeous "flower clothes"?

recently, the second phase of the jinfeng science popularization lecture hall, co-sponsored by jinfeng laboratory and hualong.com, was held in the laboratory. a "science practice group" composed of more than 50 primary and secondary school students and parents came to jinfeng laboratory and opened the microscope. a wonderful journey.

professor luo yang, pi of jinfeng laboratory, professor and doctoral supervisor of chongqing university, and director of the public experiment center of chongqing university school of medicine, gave a popular science lecture titled "the artist under the microscope: a wonderful journey of cell staining", and interacted with primary and secondary school students and their parents conduct face-to-face communication.

professor luo yang introduced the structure of cells and the staining process of cells in the experiment to the students one by one. he used interactive questions to stimulate the children to keep thinking and enthusiastically raise their hands to answer.

"what are the differences between the different cells, are they all the same size?"

"what kind of dye is used to dress them (referring to cells)? is it the same as our gouache paint?"

"what are some things that can stain cells?"

the children's questions were a little immature but full of desire and curiosity to explore the unknown. professor luo yang responded patiently and actively, realizing two-way interaction between scientists and teenagers and opening the door to the scientific world for them.

in order to better achieve the goal of entertaining and blending learning with fun, laboratory science popularizers led everyone into the advanced pathology science and technology museum, a municipal science popularization base, to experience the past, development and future of pathology, so that everyone can understand the role of pathology in us the significance and role in the field of life and health, improve everyone's scientific awareness and develop scientific thinking.

"in this activity, the children saw a richer scientific world outside of textbooks, allowing them to combine textbook knowledge with life practice." parents of students expressed that they hope to have more opportunities to participate in scientific practice activities in the future, "children having this opportunity to practice learning is a valuable experience, and it will definitely plant a seed of scientific exploration in my heart!”

this event is also one of the "dragon youth scientific literacy series activities" of hualong.com, with chongqing education development strategy research association as the guiding unit, chongqing-guangdong pathological science research center, chongqing microbiology society, chongqing astronomical society, chongqing public health communication service center, the geological science popularization center of the 208 geological team of chongqing geological survey bureau, chongqing unmanned aerial technology application association, chongqing university of posts and telecommunications internet of things interactive experience hall, chongqing environmental science society and other scientific research institutions serve as supporting units.

jinfeng science popularization lecture hallit is a life and health science cultural popularization brand launched by the laboratory. each lecture integrates district and county, municipal departments, science popularization bases, media, universities, scientific research institutes and other science popularization resources, and is committed to the cross-border dissemination of extraordinary ideas, aiming to discuss biotechnology with the spirit of patriotic, dedicated, realistic and innovative scientists. , the integrated development of information technology and culture and art, inviting guests from medicine, science, art, culture and other fields to share their thoughts and opinions, so that the public can feel the charm of scientific culture and inspire the public with scientific ideas.

in 2023, the first phase of the jinfeng science popularization lecture hall was launched under the leadership of three academicians of the two academies.
