The Center for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) launches a new project for scientific dissemination, called Science Cast, which aims to promote science and Portuguese scientists.
The podcast, which premieres on May 16th, National Scientists’ Day, invites you to discover scientists from various areas of knowledge in informal and in-depth conversations. Science Cast is a collaborative project between CESAM, the Aveiro Institute of Materials (CICECO), both from the University of Aveiro, and PlaySolutions Audiovisuais.
Joaquim Pedro Ferreira (CESAM, CICECO) is one of the authors of this project, together with Pedro Miguel Ferreira (PlaySolutions Audiovisuais), and which features Mónica Ribau (CICECO) as host of this podcast, receiving weekly scientists from the most varied areas of science, for a conversation about their work and discoveries, A Conversation with Science.
The Cooperation between CESAM and CICECO in communication and dissemination is strategic, as both have communication skills in areas such as management and analysis of social networks, science and audiovisual journalism, characteristics, almost unique, in relation to most research units at national level. Per this, cooperation in sharing skills, in communication and dissemination, is of the greatest strategic interest to both research centers, strengthening the CESAM’s communication and dissemination strategy.
The objective of Science Cast is to promote science literacy and provide a space dissemination for researchers from different areas of knowledge. Furthermore, the podcast serves as an example of cooperation between CESAM and society, contributing to the dissemination of science and the Portuguese scientists, from all areas of knowledge.
ScienceCast – A Conversation with Science is available on Spotify and Apple Podcast platforms, and also on the YouTube channel in the video version.
