Science or pseudo-science? Do you want to have the tools to differentiate them? Concerned about the diversity of sciences? Eager to cut out the main ideas about the reality and evolution of today’s society? Solutions for a world in which the phenomenon of fake news has taken on a surprising development and in which many people think they can give lessons to scientists? Let’s give a voice to true experts, the only ones able to distinguish by scientific means the mechanisms that influence the reality of today’s world. In this sense, the University of Bucharest launched the series of videos entitled “UB Science Dose”. #let’s find out
Initiated in October 2021 within the Science Communication Program of the University of Bucharest, the “UB Dose of Science” aims to provide in an intense and dynamic manner, scientific information in an attractive, vivid and expressive format.
Intended to be a synthetic and captivating way of communicating the various fields of science, the “UB Science Dose” addresses to the public and encourages the connection between the academic and non-academic milieu based on current topics of interest to both the scientific community and the public. The guests are mainly professors and researchers from the University of Bucharest.
The videos from the “UB Science Dose” include short and dynamic presentations of topics relevant to contemporary society: pollution, climate change, pandemic and post-pandemic contexts, education, digitalization and more.
Thus, in addition to the fundamental dimension of communicating scientifically validated information, the “UB Science Dose” also proposes an important element of social responsibility, reconfirming the role and mission of the University of Bucharest in society by contributing to the awareness of critical issues of today’s world and popularization of possible solutions to these issues.
The videos, not longer than 10 minutes, are in pre-recorded format, thus in technological conditions that ensure a high quality of resources.
The “UB Science dose” is coordinated by the Communication and Public Relations Department of the University of Bucharest.
