A concert paying tribute to scientists was recently held at the Shanghai Science Hall.

It was held on the lawn in front of the well-preserved French Renaissance-style building on Tuesday evening, marking the seventh National Science and Technology Workers Day.

Renowned musicians like violinist Huang Mengla, conductor Zhang Chengjie, and soprano Xiong Yufei presented a one-and-half-hour of performances, accompanied by dazzlingly-beautiful holographic projection.

Reputable scientists such as China's first female observatory director Ye Shuhua and molecular biologist Chen Saijuan were invited to enjoy the concert.
