“…But it is on the internet, and specifically on YouTube, where they all converge and have proven effective strategies to increase the impact and popularity of videos among the profile of consumers of popular science content, who are mostly male, aged between 15 and 24, and with a high level of education (EPSCYT, 2018;Velho & Barata, 2020). Hence, if one of the obvious functions of science popularisation is to promote science as a vocation among young students (Calvo Hernando, 1997;Olmedo Estrada, 2011), gender-biased communication will undoubtedly negatively affect future generations (Fernández Beltrán et al, 2019).…”

One of the main features of videos that popularise science on YouTube is the ability to interact with the videos and the YouTubers who generate them. However, some types of interaction are often not gender neutral. In order to identify whether there are gender differences in the type of comments posted on YouTube channels that popularise science, a content analysis of nine such channels hosted by Spanish macro influencers was conducted. A total of 221 videos and 18,873 comments were analysed to identify and classify comments of a personal nature relating to physical appearance, tone of voice, or intellectual capacity, among other aspects. The results show that 7.5% (1,424) of the total number of analysed comments were comments of a personal nature addressed to the channel’s host. Of the videos hosted by women, 95.3% contained at least one positive comment related to their physical appearance, compared to 27% in the case of men. Gender differences were mainly found in negative comments regarding the presenter’s intellectual ability or personality, with women most likely to receive them. These results show that women who face media exposure are more vulnerable to negative sexist comments, which may deter them from professionalisation in this area.

“…Nesse contexto, o conhecimento que antes era restrito a um grupo seleto -os cientistas -passou, por meio do desenvolvimento da divulgação científica, a ser compreendido pelo público em geral. A divulgação do conhecimento científico se torna uma grande aliada, pois dará suporte a população para poder compreender como se dá o desenvolvimento científico, por quais meios isso será possível e quais implicações podem ser ocasionadas com a utilização do conhecimento (ESTRADA, 2011).…”

O progresso da Ciência e da tecnologia cada vez mais se intensifica na esfera social, econômica e política. Nesse contexto, a Divulgação Científica (DC) assume um papel social significativo, uma vez que é mostrado aos cidadãos o que está sendo desenvolvido no contexto das pesquisas científicas. Este trabalho objetivou investigar como ocorre o processo de DC da Química em páginas do Instagram, tratando-se de um estudo de caso de abordagem qualitativa. Para isso, realizamos uma entrevista semiestruturada com 8 administradores de páginas dessa rede social e analisamos os dados à luz da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que há a ocorrência da DC em algumas das páginas analisadas, além de apontar que a contextualização, a ludicidade, o engajamento e o planejamento da publicação são elementos levados em consideração na produção dos conteúdos. Ademais, foi observado que o melhor momento para a postagem do material era dado pelo próprio algoritmo do Instagram. Outrossim, a falta de tempo foi avaliada como um obstáculo para a criação do conteúdo a ser divulgado nas páginas. Por fim, o presente estudo apresenta a importância da DC por meio do Instagram, bem como a necessidade pesquisas que articulem a DC com o ensino de Química.

“…Outreach activities are included in non-formal education. The aim of these initiatives is to communicate scientific advances in a specific field to the general population, using adapted language to set out the ideas at a level suited to the knowledge, interest and needs of the non-scientific audience ( Olmedo Estrada, 2011 ). However, they could also be used as a complementary tool to formal education in schools and high schools, to inspire and encourage professional vocations and develop a scientific culture in children and teenagers ( Olmedo Estrada, 2011 ).…”

Moreover, these activities could be used to address and reduce the STEM gender gap ( Levine et al, 2015 ), which seems to be highly influenced by secondary schools context ( Legewie and Diprete, 2014 ).…”

Research institutes and universities have strengthened the development of biomedicine outreach activities, constituing a non-formal education system of science literacy, although with little commitment from undergraduate students. However, as a Service-Learning methodology, these outreach activities could work as a tool for the acquisition of skills by students of Health Science Degrees. Described here is the development of the workshop entitled “Exploring the human body” at the Biodonostia Health Research Institute and the pilot experience of its implementation as a Service-Learning activity at the University of Málaga. Firstly, 359 secondary education students were mentored by Ph.D. students through a 5-station workshop with experiments and activities related to the physiology of the human body. Then, 301 undergraduate students of Medicine and Nursing Degrees advised 965 secondary education students. Both groups of students assessed the workshop via questionnaires and a debriefing. The data showed an overall score of 4.6 out of 5 for the workshop. Undergraduate students reported a positive impact on their academic background (4.8 out of 5), mainly due to the improvement of oral communication skills (34%). Therefore, this methodology could be a valid and applicable tool to develop the cross-disciplinary competences of undergraduate students.
