Besides, in a service providers customer acquisition and traffic attraction project, I led a team to analyze the current customer acquisition methods and calculated the annual target customer acquisition based on the growth of customer acquisition for service providers currently working with each channel.

This work also broadened my understanding of science communication and public engagement. On the one hand, because of a lack of systematic training in science, journalists and editors introduce scientific findings and knowledge in order to inform the public rather than make the public understand. On the other hand, without the support of communication theories, Chinese scholars and researchers cannot attract the masses&rsquo; attention to learn more about science.
