Science in 900 Seconds

Science in 900 Seconds, a new program of Zhejiang University’s Qizhen Cup, was first introduced this year. On the stage, presenters distill their fascinating scientific achievements and mind-blowing knowledge into a 15-minute talk.

 “ZJU Science +++”, a public WeChat account dedicated to scientific activities in ZJU, collates activities from amongst ZJU’s faculties.

1. You have to be young at heart.

2. Your active scientific activities need to draw great academic and social attention.

3. You have to take joy in pursuing scientific achievement.

4. To effectively communicate with people from diverse disciplinary and educational backgrounds, you need to master a foreign language.

In the debut of Science in 900 Seconds on March 2017, four scientists with various disciplinary backgrounds shared their work with the audience to loud applause. This new program serves as an effective and novel platform where ZJU scientists and students get together outside of classrooms and laboratories. With ZJU’s invigorating academic ambience and its marvelous pool of talent, delicious fruits are expected to grow from the fusion and integration of great ideas.
