The German research community (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; DFG) has launched a new Youtube format for science communication.
The aim of the three-part video series "Explored - Conversations about Science Communication in Social Media" is to initiate a discussion on the topics of "mediation" and "reception" of science on the Internet.
In each of the three episodes, two scientists and one YouTuber or Sciencefluencer will address the respective topic: they will explore various areas of tension, contribute their experiences and research results, and classify them scientifically.
On March 23, CSS Director Stefan Aykut will be in conversation with Professor Dr. Hannah Schmid-Petri (Professor of Science Communication, University of Passau) and Sciencefluencer, Katja Sterzig, on the topic of science communication on climate change.
Below you will find the dates, topics and guests of each episode [the conversations take place in German only]:
