科技馆与创新人才培养浅议

科技馆应充分发挥自身优势,与学校教育相衔接,为创新人才的培养做出应有的贡献.为了更好地满足创新型人才的培养,科技馆应该：展品设计,应尽可能体现探究式的学习理念;科技馆应增加关于创新方法和创新精神的展示;科技馆应开设科学开放性实验室等创新实践场所;开展定期的创新教育活动.科技馆通过这些“套餐”式科普教育活动,才可以更好地服务于创新人才的培养.广东科学中心通过开展针对青少年创新性能力培养的“展翅计划”等活动,争取成为创新人才培养的重要基地.     

“Whatever happened to the Genomatron?” Documenting a 21st century science

With notable exceptions, specialist museums have generally failed to collect an adequate record of the material culture of post-war science and technology. Some reasons for this failure are identified, and some suggestions for remedying this situation are made with the help of a specific example: genomic science and medicine. Genomics is a quintessentially 21st-century science: data-rich, digital, and technique-and technology-driven. As such, it presents particular challenges and opportunities to museums wishing to improve their performance in collecting recent and contemporary science and technology. The paper explores different dimensions of this challenge through the attempt to establish a Museum Genomics Initiative, an international group of museum professionals who are committed to collaborating around the documentation of genomic science and medicine.
