During five consecutive Saturdays, between September 29 and October 27, all those interested in the field of science communication have a quotation in the seminar of Communication and knowledge dissemination of Science, promoted by the Science Museum of the University of Navarra.

This edition -which recovers an initiative that was already taught in 2008 and 2011- will feature 14 experts, among which stand out the Chemistry and popularizer Deborah García Bello -scientific youtuber in the channel Deborahciencia and author of books such as "Todo es cuestión de Chemistry" and "Que se le van las vitaminas!" -; Jordi Portabella -director of area of knowledge dissemination Científica and CosmoCaixa of the La Caixa Banking Foundation-; Lucas Sánchez -director of Scienseed-; Heber Longás - scientific infographer in El País and currently in Fundamentium-; Javier Armentia -astrophysicist and director of Pamplonetario-; and Elena Gascón -president of high school Oficial de Dietistas-Nutricionistas de Navarra.

According to Ignacio López-Goñi, director of the Science Museum, "every day more than 7,000 scientific articles are published in the world, many of which will never be cited or read. In science today, if you are not visible, you disappear. Therefore, it is highly recommended that at least one of the members of a research team has scientific communication skills". This seminar -which will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Science Library of the academic center- is a educational activity whose goal is to improve the skills and competences for knowledge dissemination of science.

Other speakers will be the also professors and researchers of the School of Communication of the University of Navarra Alex Navas -Professor of Sociology-, Silvia Corzo -doctorate student who will talk about Science on Instagram-; Belén Torregrosa -consultant and expert in storytelling-; and Bienvenido León, who will organize a internship on how to make a video about science for social networks.

In this sense, each workshop will end with a session internship on how to record a podcast of knowledge dissemination -at position by Eva Caballero, journalist of La mecánica del caracol, in Radio Euskadi-; how to make a science infographic -with the aforementioned infographist Heber Longás-; a workshop to teach Chemistry with fun experiments -by the hand of the professor of the School of Sciences José Ramón Isasi-; and on different platforms to communicate science in the XXI century, taught by Lucas Sánchez, from Scienseed.

The enrollment of the seminar is already open on the website of the Science Museum itself.
