Abstract

The scientific community faces a unique challenge: to restore public trust in the scientific knowledge produced by laboratories, along with effectively communicating this knowledge to the general population. Laboratories have struggled to maintain this dynamic, given the high demands for productivity and the lack of training in scientific communication. Therefore, this project aims to create a link between the public and the scientific research developed by health laboratories at UNICAMP through the EMRC blog. In this way, it is hoped that scientific knowledge can reach a larger audience, increase understanding of the importance of scientific communication within university spaces, and establish public advocacy for scientific knowledge and production (AU)
