If Siberian tiger and South China tiger fight, who has a greater chance of winning? Are there any scientific rules here?
Our national treasure giant panda loves to eat bamboo . Of course, bamboo is not nutritious without meat, so pandas eat more and pull more, so how many "baba" does it have to pull a day? How did this "bear" that originally ate meat become a "vegetarian"?
I often hear bamboo leaf green snake , but what does it look like? Where does its venom spurt out from?
…
and other questions, I believe many children will ask, even adults are very interested. The answer can be found in Douyin , called "Professor Guo who does not do questions", and the owner of this account is Associate Professor of of the School of Life Sciences and Technology of Tongji University and Director of the Shanghai Ecological Society Guo Guangpu .
He just joined Douyin this year. The number of works, fans and likes is still increasing, but it is a "treasure" account, because the popular science videos related to animals and plants he posted, both in content and form, make It is refreshing; more importantly, popular science education propositions such as "not practicing questions", "playing to learn knowledge", and "going to nature" are thought-provoking.
Guo Guangpu interacts with children in nature and popularizes science knowledge.
introduces biology in the most professional and vivid way
First, let’s briefly answer the previous questions - adult Siberian tigers are larger than adult South China tigers, so the former has a greater chance of winning in a fight. The same animal category generally lives in a high latitude It is bigger than individuals with low latitudes; adult giant pandas may have to pull 60 kilograms of "baba" a day...
If you want to know more and more in detail, you can search Guo Guangpu's popular science account on Douyin "Professor Guo who does not write questions" , His way of explaining animals and plants is somewhat different.
For example, the short video explaining the bamboo leaf green snake was taken by Guo Guangpu during the inspection of Tianmushan . In the video, he directly grabbed the head and neck of a bamboo leaf green snake with his hands. If there is no "There is a risk to this behavior, please do not "Easy to imitate" reminder, perhaps some people mistakenly think that this highly toxic bamboo-leaf green snake has no attack power. Guo Guangpu used the branch to gently pry open the little snake's mouth and showed the camera the source of the venom - two slender and sharp fangs.
The reason why Guo Guangpu "dare" to do this is because he is professional. Before he went to college, he wanted to major in computer science, but later he was admitted to the biological science major of Henan Normal University. When he took the postgraduate entrance examination, he wanted to study genetic engineering, but he entered the ecology major of East China Normal University and continued to study. Graduated from a PhD.
has such a professional background, which has enabled Guo Guangpu to participate in field inspections. Now, he is an associate professor at Tongji University and takes students to conduct internships every year. He has also participated in the biodiversity survey in Motuo, Fujian Wuyi Mountain, Jiangxi Guanshan, Gannan , and Hunan Wulingyuan. He organized or participated in the Qiangna Township, Linzhi City, Tibet, Yunlong County, Yunnan Province, and Datong County, Qinghai Province. Teaching activities in other places.
The school is on vacation, and he is used to carrying his bag and running to the field for the science and technology exam. So, he is often in natural scenes in the video. He searched for antelope in the jungle of Motuo, Tibet, and met with five-toed jumping mouse in Tengri Desert , and sang cicadas in Tianmu Mountain and Chinese toad , katyds , katyds , singing cicadas in Tianmu Mountain. intimate contact, observed red-horned owl at the Raptor Protection Center of Dali , and explained Likka at the Lancangjiang ...
Guo Guangpu was wrongly inspected in Basson, Linzhi, Tibet.
The best classroom is nature. Now it has been moved to Douyin
Solid professional knowledge reserves and rich field science experience provide Guo Guangpu's short video popular science with unique advantages and convenience.
In fact, Guo Guangpu has been doing children's science popularization for ten years.At first, he founded a nature education institution with his friends, and later cooperated with some institutions to take the children to participate in summer camps, weekend camps or community activities. They have been to Linzhi, Tibet, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, Guangdong, Zhuzhou Island, Shanghai Chongming Island, etc. , I have been to South Africa at the farthest time and I am on campus recently. He believes that the best classroom is nature.
Guo Guangpu often thinks of his hometown - Yanjin County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. There is The Yellow River alluvial plain , and many sand hills are formed on the ground. When he was a child, Guo Guangpu always liked to go to the bushes on the sand to pick sour jujubes and eat them all the way home. Later, when he went to elementary school, what impressed him the most was playing. He grabbed cicada and used the money from selling cicada shells to buy popsicles; he caught fish and shrimp, and was stabbed by the fins of the yellow croaker to his feet; he touched the apples when picking When I arrived at the hornet's nest, my head was covered with the bag. My grandmother used the juice of loofah vine to smear his head to reduce the swelling...
But now the children are too far from nature. In Guo Guangpu's view, children today are far from being able to guard against dangers in the wild, and most of the time, they don't even get close to nature. Many people scream when they see little bugs, fearing that they will not be able to hide. Whenever this happens, Guo Guangpu always has questions: "How did humans become like this?"
He began to take the children to the park, to the suburbs, to nature reserves, and to learn about various insects, birds, and frogs. , small flowers and plants. Many children did not dare to touch any insects at first, but later they actually let the insects as big as half a palm burrow around in their fingers. This was one of Guo Guangpu's most proud moments.
Guo Guangpu leads children to carry out summer camp activities in Tianmu Mountain.
He decided to restore the courage to get intimate contact with bugs. Now, Guo Guangpu has moved this class to Douyin.
He tries to make popular science videos vivid and interesting, and also has a certain degree of knowledge. When explaining animals, he is accustomed to talking about the shape and behavioral characteristics of animals, and then transitioning to structure and function, allowing children to experience it personally, from contact, curiosity, understanding, understanding, and love, and finally develop the emotions of caring for life and protecting nature. consciousness.
Professional habits drive him to be more rigorous and he will consult relevant information for each issue. He once looked up several doctoral thesis on how much bamboo giant pandas should eat in a day.
Guo Guangpu took the children to use specimens to play treasure hunting.
Young and middle-aged people love to watch his videos
This associate professor who is usually busy teaching college students will "play" with primary and secondary school students on weekends or holidays. Guo Guangpu and the child were lying on the ground playing with locust , putting mosquitoes on his arm to observe how to suck blood, and putting his fingers into the little gecko's mouth, all to introduce the magic and cuteness of animals to the children.
Since the beginning of this year, these scenes have been recorded as short videos and have been moved to TikTok. Before this, his popular science was mainly achieved through offline lectures, with a maximum of one or two hundred listeners, most of whom were still in school. He said that education is a social activity that affects people's physical and mental development, and this requires a platform with greater influence to help achieve it.
Guo Guangpu found that on Douyin, not only young people but also middle-aged people like to watch his videos. Many people care about who can win the fight between Siberian tigers and South China tigers, or who is the prey between Guo Guangpu and Zhuyeqing . So far, behind each of the 60,000 likes he has received is people's curiosity about nature.
In fact, in addition to poisonous snake and beasts, Guo Guangpu felt that more of them were naturally around him. When he was unable to go to the field to shoot due to the epidemic, he went to the garden of the community to catch a mantis or cicadas, and could also make a Douyin video. In his opinion, any life is a wonderful story.
" Parks, zoo and botanical gardens, flower and bird markets, and vegetable markets all have natural elements, and they are also places where I usually ask students to do research."Guo Guangpu said that in addition to going from plateau to plain, from northeast to southwest, from mainland to islands, he is also planning a series of more "down-to-earth" Douyin video content to go to communities and vegetable markets, the most common places in everyone's lives. Shooting, let the audience know "nature around them".
"I want the children to know that we live on biodiversity, and that the children themselves are beautiful ones. "In Guo Guangpu's view, ecology is actually a kind of relationship science. Only when people find their position in the relationship network can they show their attitude and take action.
He advocates letting children learn and understand in a real environment. The real world, thus changing the indifference and at a loss to the environment. He said that this can also allow children to encounter problems, improve their ability to face, analyze and solve problems, and also have the opportunity to ask questions because they are asked. A problem is more important than solving another problem, and it can greatly improve creativity. This is exactly why he wrote "not writing questions" into his TikTok account nickname.
short video posted by Guo Guangpu.
handed the child to nature. This great teacher
In all the Douyin videos of Guo Guangpu, he was almost smiling, and his curved eyes were hanging wrinkles. He is 53 years old this year, He still often shows a childlike expression. He said that the sign of a person's aging is not age, but the disappearance of curiosity.
Someone asked: "How can we maintain a strong curiosity? "Guo Guangpu replied with a smile: "Go to nature. "
Guo Guangpu found that people would naturally be happy when they were in the wild. A few years ago, he and his students went to Chongming Island for inspection. It was spring, and the bright yellow rape flowers were covered with the fields. A boy who was usually introverted and shy Run directly to the flower field to imitate Pavarotti; some girls hummed songs and jumped forward as they walked in the fields...
"Life is the full expression of genes. "Guo Guangpu said, "Nature has a power that can awaken people's feelings and expressions of beauty. This beauty is buried in the genes, usually locked up, but it is opened naturally. "
Guo Guangpu believes that you can learn while playing in the wild, killing two birds with one stone. This should be one of the best postures for learning.
Guo Guangpu is in Linzhi, Tibet, and behind him is Nanjiabawa Peak .
" Children can probably listen To the sound of 30,000 Hz, the sound that adults hear is only 20,000 Hz at the highest. The richness of information in an artificial environment is far from that of natural systems. In nature, children's senses are the most sensitive. "Guo Guangpu said, "So, circling children is to break the exchange of their information with them, which will affect their physical and mental development. "
A scientific experiment in Finland shows that in an environment with soil, grass, shrubs and trees, the healthy level of bacteria in kindergarten children is much higher than that in children in all artificial environments.
" I am full of affection and sincere I hope all parents can open this magical window for their children and let them feel the power of nature. I hope that parents can make up their minds from the day their children are born, make up a plan, let go of a hand holding the child tightly, and then hand it to the hands of the great teacher of nature. "
" This is the view of the British philosopher and educator Spencer , and it is mine. "When Guo Guangpu said this, his voice was very light, but he was firm.
Guo Guangpu had close contact with koala at the zoo in Australia.
