Description: How to engage better with the public? Can astronomy be used as a tool for education? In this conversation with Pedro Russo, we talked about the importance of science communication, his story as the coordinator for the International year of astronomy, IYA2009, his work in the Universe Awareness program, science communications as a research field, how to work with celebrities to communicate astronomy, what is the International Astronomical Union, and of course, so much more.
Astronomy et al brings informal conversations about the fascinating world of astronomy. Ricardo Garcia, the host of the show, picks the brains of researchers, astronomers, science communicators, and physicists about the work they do, how and why they do it, delving into the science but also talking about the personal journey of each guest.
Bio: Ricardo Garcia is a science communicator, youtuber and podcaster traveling the world to share his experiences with the internet. Ricardo is a filmmaker who also studied astronomy, mixing two separate worlds, his passions, to create engaging content to get people interested in the fascinating world of science.
