ABSTRACT

Communication of Science



Luis Estrada


The concepts of diffusion, divulgation and communication of science are cause of reflection, however these concepts aren’t the same and are often confused with science journalism. The communication of science is an “active action”, in other words is an “come and go” of knowledge, opinions, critiques and clarifications. The dialog that assumed the communication of science tries to draw attention on any relevant theme of science, tries to excite to know more about a scientific issue or induce to search more information to better understand the subject published. Well, the intention is bring people to scientific knowledge, that people appropiate knowledge and beside disseminators, scientists, masters, museums and institutions, they participate in an inclusive scientific culture.



Keywords: Communication of Science, divulgation, scientific culture, UNAM.
