About this talk
Brazil is experiencing a very interesting movement of scientists who decided to dedicate themselves to the production of content through videos on Youtube and Instagram or posts on Facebook and Twitter. Many of these digital influencers in science gained enormous notoriety during the Covid-19 pandemic and were fundamental in guiding the population on basic protection measures. What can we journalists learn from them? Is there space for journalists and science disseminators on the internet? How do the two areas complement each other? These will be some of the questions answered in our debate, which will bring the most important names in this area in Brazil.
