SUMMARY:APECS Italy Workshop on Social Media and Science Communication
LOCATION:Trieste\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:For the occasion of the SCAR PAIS conference (http://pais-conference-2017.i
 nogs.it/) in Trieste, APECS Italy is organizing a workshop about the use of
  Social Media to effectively communicate science to the wider public.\nINTR
 ODUCTION\nOften, it seems, the ability to communicate our research is under
 valued, or at least not given the importance it deserves. However, especial
 ly in a society in which “science culture” is not generally taken into acco
 unt (just think of the popularity of falsehoods such as the “correlation” b
 etween vaccinations and Autism, “Stamina therapy”, or the idea that climate
  change is a hoax), the ability to render the results of our research compr
 ehensible to the society at large is fundamental.\nInvolve, impassion, educ
 ate. These are the three objectives that every researcher should have in mi
 nd when concluding a project.\nToday, thanks to the existence of social net
 works like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, this goal is much more within rea
 ch. The power of these instruments is in the hands of all of us, and this i
 s especially evident when “hyped results” from “fake science” go viral. It 
 is necessary then to reverse this trend: to do what we can to make “good sc
 ience” go viral, and involve the members at large of these social media com
 munities. How? The goal of the workshop that APECS Italy is organizing alon
 gside the PAIS conference aims to address this “How?” by providing practica
 l tools to participants in order to be able to successfully share their own
  research.\n
