On January 9^th, the Guangzhou Science and Technology Communication Alliance organized a media tour at South China Agricultural University, focusing on the agricultural history of Guangdong.

"Ever wondered why the soil here has a reddish hue? It's because, in the humid and warm climate of South China, organic matter decomposes, while iron, aluminum, and their oxides tend to accumulate." At the South China Agricultural Museum, the guides explaining this phenomenon to visitors are all student volunteers from South China Agricultural University.

The tour covered a wide range of topics, from the agricultural history of Guangdong to traditional farming tools in Lingnan, and from marine life in the South China Sea to various plant and animal specimens. Visitors not only learned about Guangdong's agricultural development but also gained insights into diverse flora and fauna.

The head of South China Agricultural University's science communication base highlighted the infrastructure, open sharing of science communication resources, and annual science communication activities at the base.

The university boasts six science communication bases, including the South China Agricultural Museum, the Insect Science Communication Base, and the Guangdong Ethnic Clothing and Apparel Museum. Visitors can schedule free tours, and in addition to on-site explanations, the guides also share science communication videos online and conduct voluntary science communication in communities.

The representative of the event expressed deep appreciation for the hands-on experience in various science communication activities, emphasizing the importance of making scientific stories engaging to attract a broader audience, especially the younger generation.

The purpose of this event Is to leverage the platform of the alliance in areas such as information dissemination and resource integration. The focus is on extensively promoting the outstanding achievements of science popularization in Guangzhou, with the aim of effectively utilizing and activating the science popularization resources in the city. This will be achieved through organizing alliance members to visit excellent science popularization bases in Guangzhou, actively participating in on-site science communication activities. The goal is to enhance communication and collaboration among alliance members, facilitating the widespread dissemination of excellent science popularization resources and achievements in Guangzhou.

The responsible person from the alliance affirmed their commitment to acting as a link, collaborating with more science communication resources to contribute vitality to the development of science communication in Guangzhou and fostering a positive societal atmosphere that values science and innovation.

科普游：到华南农业博物馆了解广东农业史

1月9日，广州科技传播联盟科普游媒体行活动在华南农业大学举行。

“大家知道为什么这些土壤整体颜色都偏红吗？是因为在华南地区的湿热的气候条件下，有机质分解流失，而铁铝及其氧化物则相对集聚。”在华南农业博物馆，为参观游客进行讲解的讲解员们都是来自华南农业大学的学生志愿者。

从广东地区的农业历史到岭南传统农具，从南海海洋生物到各类动植物标本，学生志愿者们对于馆内展品的讲解信手拈来，让游客们在了解广东的农业发展之余学习到了不少动植物小知识。

华南农业大学科普基地负责人介绍了华农科普基地的基础设施建设、科普资源开放共享及科技资源科普化、年度科普活动等基本情况。

据介绍，华南农业大学共有华南农业博物馆、华南农业大学昆虫学科普基地、广东民族服装服饰博物馆等六个科普基地，游客可以预约免费参观。除了科普基地的现场讲解外，科普基地的讲解员们还在网上发布科普视频、前往社区进行义务科普讲解，让更多的人都能了解到相关的科学知识。

“实地体验各种科普活动让我深深感受到科学的魅力和力量。”参观结束后，一位参加活动的代表表示，如何生动有趣地讲述科学故事，以吸引更多的观众尤其是年轻一代关注科学、热爱科学是科普工作者应该要努力的方向。

据悉，本次活动旨在充分发挥广州科技传播联盟在信息发布、资源整合等方面的平台作用，聚焦广州科普游优秀成果进行广泛宣传，达到用好、用活广州科普游资源的目的，通过组织联盟成员实地参观广州市优秀科普基地、现场参与体验科普活动的形式，增进成员之间的沟通交流，促进广州优秀科普资源、科普成果的广泛传播。

广州科技传播联盟相关负责人表示，广州科技传播联盟将继续发挥纽带作用，联动更多的科技传播资源，为广州科技传播发展贡献活力，助力营造崇尚科学、尊重创新的良好社会氛围。
