PerCientEx, an initiative that identifies and disseminates journalistic works of excellence in science, technology, health and environment in Ibero-America, is organising its sixth conference on science journalism, dedicated this year to exploring the relationship between narrative podcasting and science.
The event is organised by the PerCientEx Observatory and coordinated by the Catalan Association of Scientific Communication (ACCC) and the Communication and Education Office of the UAB, with the support of the “la Caixa” Foundation.
The event will feature the participation of Argentine-Chilean journalist Nicolás Alonso, known for his work in Radio Ambulante and podcasts such as Adiós, Plutón, and Spanish journalist Belén Remacha, member of the Hoy en El País team and winner of the Prismas 2024 Award for her work Tu cerebro es oro. Both will present sound stories specially created for the occasion, focusing on scientific and social issues. In addition, the writer and cultural critic Jorge Carrión, author of the podcasts Solaris and Ecos, will offer a reflection on the role of the narrative podcast in the popularisation of science and its ability to connect knowledge with the contemporary cultural narrative.
La sessió serà moderada per Michele Catanzaro, professor lector del Departament de Periodisme i Ciències de la Comunicació de la UAB i periodista científic, i Verónica Couto Antelo, biòloga i comunicadora científica; director i subdirectora de l’Observatori PerCienEx.
The session will be moderated by Michele Catanzaro, lecturer in the Department of Journalism and Communication Sciences at the UAB and science journalist, and Verónica Couto Antelo, biologist and science communicator; director and deputy director of the PerCienEx Observatory.
