In this roundtable discussion, we are interested in the impact of online video-sharing on the public communication of science and technology.
According to Einstein “The question my mind asked was answered by Brazil’s sunny sky”. On May 29, 1919 photographs of solar eclipse at Sobral, Brazil proved the 1915 Einstein’s General Relativity, stating massive bodies deform the fabric of space-time, causing a light beam deviation.
Political expression, the environment, and the way we communicate about these two topics is changing dramatically with the warming planet, particularly among teenage citizens.
What is the added value of analysing science communication networks? Manifold definitions and types of networks exist, depending for instance on epistemic interest, methodological focus, and scale of analysis.
Governments and other research-funders are increasingly describing formally what they expect, incentivise or even require Science Communication to achieve.
This paper argues that American journalist and author Nicholas Carr has had an influential, but sometimes overlooked, role in contemporary communications about the social implications of technology.
There is a policy call for widening participation of stakeholders in research and innovation to realise more collaborative research and innovation practices, particularly in terms of inclusion of end users and/or citizens.
Peru is a country of wealth in terms of natural resources and biodiversity. However, it is an immensely poor country. Under such conditions, the production and dissemination of science in the university, which should be priority activities, are still undeveloped.
I will present a methodology that may help journalists, science communicators or even scientists, to identify key messages within a peer reviewed scientific paper.
STEM university-led outreach is a key element of scientists’ effort to communicate their research. Yet, the question has been raised whether existing outreach initiatives are used to their full potential…
While science journalism is in crisis in many countries (e.g., Guenther, 2019) and scientists are increasingly called to make their work publicly visible (e.g., Rödder, 2012; Joubert, 2018), in new media environments (Brossard, 2013) alternative sources for informing the public on scientific topics have become popular (e.g., Brumfiel, 2009).
The open air and concomitantly digital museum “Caminhos do Conhecimento” (Knowledge Paths), created by the Open Laboratory for Interactivity for Science and Technology (S&T) Public Communication at the Federal University of São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil (LAbI – UFSCar), offers different possibilities of mediation in the dialogue between scientific knowledge and diverse audiences, other than those already consolidated in traditional museums and science centers.
In recent years, we have witnessed a growing tendency within academic and research organisations to turn to the public; and it is surprising how little systematic research exists on how this change is taking place.
Communicating mathematics to the non-experts has proven to be particularly complex, frequently resulting either trivial or non-understandable to most audiences.
Brazilian Science has been going through a deep crisis, especially since the beginning, in January 2019, of a new federal government, whose President and Ministers systematically insult scientific evidences – as in the matters of the Amazon rainforest and climate change.
Inspiring “hard to reach” communities to engage with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is a challenge our team has faced since our opening in 1989.
