Abstract

In this journalistic research project, we propose science communication to prepare a unique set of materials in the issue biodiversity and Amazon fauna associated to the Fapesp Thematic Project "Insect biodiversity in an Amazonian tropical forest", coordenated by the scientific advisor research. The Thematic Project (TP) is developed at Universidade de São Paulo and includes several Universities and research Institutes in Brazil and abroad. Specifically, we propose the elaboration of a communication plan for the official website of TP and science communications materials about issues and advances related to the TP. Science communication will explore different formats (text, audio, image) and social media. Materials prepared will be enriched with high quality images of insects, and interviews with scientists of TP´. Materials produced will be disseminated mainly in "Jornal da USP", but also in "Ambiente-é-o-Meio" podcast (rádio USP), "ComCiência" Journal and "Oxigênio" podcast (Labjor/Unicamp), besides the oficial website. The exercise of a series of skills and techniques of journalism in accordance with the specialization course in Scientific Journalism (Labjor/Unicamp) and the dialogue with an interdisciplinary team will offer the candidate the possibility to expand his network of contacts, as well as new ways of communicating science.
