做科普的四条原则

• Ref: Quantum Physics for 7 Year Olds | Dominic Walliman | TEDxEastVan

1. start off at somewhere they can understand 从听众会的地方开始
   • before explaining, try to ask question about their basic knowledge
   • start from the knowledge they understand
   • when explaining, ask “does it make any sense” to keep them up with you
2. don’t dive too deep into the rabbit hole 不需要钻的太过深入
   • only give them several points to make sure they are intrigued, rather than give a whole load of things.
3. clarity beats accuracy 让听众有清楚的理解比精准的解释更重要
   • an accurate explanation maybe too long and uninteresting
   • use examples they understand to make them retain a good understand and curiosity of the thing, and get away with it
4. explain why it’s cool 解释下为什么它很有意思
   • tell people why it makes you excited
