Vaquinha científica 2.0: crowdfunding como ferramenta de marketing científico
Published:
How can we diversify funding in science? How is marketing related to funding in these new grant requests? In this talk I presented my experience with the crowdfunding campaign for the Laboratório de Ecologia Quantitativa, in 2015.
Seremos ainda cientistas, se nos desligarmos da multidão?
Published:
What is the importance of Science Communication in our society? How can we benefit from it? What do we need to do better SciComm?
Divulgação científica: pra quê perder tempo com isso?
Published:
In Brazil, SciComm activities are not recognized as valuable work in a scientist’s career. It is also sometimes very exhaustive and demands lots of time. But we know SciComm is fundamental for our progress as a society and it is our responsability as scientists. How can we implement SciComm in our routine as researchers and students?
Projetos abertos em divulgação científica
Published:
This talk was part of the Camp Serrapilheira, an event to debate and promote Science Communication in Brazil.
In this talk I presented the core concepts of open projects and how they can help us promote Science communication and outreach.
Como Nossos Pais
Published:
This talk was part of 29th Semana do ICB, an annual event promoted by students of Federal University of Goiás.
I invited the participants to critically think about what we have and haven’t done about science communication in the last few years.
Defying our senses to promote diversity and inclusion in Science Communication
Published:
Session presented at the Mozilla Festival about accessibility in Science Communication. How can we communicate science in unconvetional ways using our senses? Can we make a podcast for the hearing impaired? How can we make videos that can be fun for those who have difficulties to see?
O Segundo Sol: divulgação científica, empatia e resistência cotidiana
Published:
This talk was part of an academic week of biological sciences at Federal University of São João del-Rei.
Here we discussed how we need to use empathy on Science Communication, and how it can help us on our daily political issues.
Islands of biodiversity digital knowledge on the Atlantic Rainforest and the environmental variables behind them
Published:
Biases and gaps are common on biodiversity data, which can have serious consequences on ecological and conservation research and actions, as it can lead to misconstrued hypotheses and incorrect conclusions. This talk was about the incompleteness of digital biodiversity data at the Atlantic Rainforest and which environmental variables are correlated to it.
Data bias in the Atlantic Rainforest: uncovering the elephant in the room
Published:
Biases and gaps are common on biodiversity data, which can have serious consequences on ecological and conservation research and actions, as it can lead to misconstrued hypotheses and incorrect conclusions. This talk, presented at the Annual Symposium of the Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science, was about the incompleteness of digital biodiversity data at the Atlantic Rainforest and which environmental variables are correlated to it.
A Traição das Imagens
