Arts and games are becoming a favored medium for conveying science to the public. They can deeply engage people by focusing on the affective domain of learning (i.e., engagement, attitude, or emotion) as well as on the cognitive domain (i.e. understanding, comprehension, or application), which is often emphasized in science education.

Many years ago I started a bit for fun to write and draw comics focused on astrophysical themes which I then printed and left as flyers to the public during the astronomical outreach events in which I was involved. Later this activity became more and more important in my job and it was enriched with new experiences and awareness to the point of becoming the object of a research on the...

Communicating small satellite's science to the general public is a challenge. When your goal is to give voice to an italian CubeSat to be released from a breakthrough planetary defence mission by NASA... things can be even more challenging. In my talk I will show you the incredible results we obtained in about a year managing LICIACube's social media. LICIACube is the small satellite released...

Since the last decades of the 19th century, Rome has been waiting for a Science Museum. Despite the place of honor in a virtual ranking of the capitals of the world, Rome has neither a Natural History Museum nor a Science and Technology Museum. This is paradoxical if we compare this condition with that of other cities, even in the Italian context (see e.g. Milan). Recently, after countless...

The experience gained during the pandemic has on the one hand strengthened initiatives that were previously only collateral to in-presence communication programs, and on the other hand it has put us in front of the need to involve an increasingly wider and more varied public in a non-random way. The immediate need for online initiatives by schools allowed us to experiment, first, and then...

The emergence of the Sars-Cov-2 virus on a global scale has amplified fragilities, catalyzed social, cultural and economic changes, generated rapid, massive and uncontrolled circulation of information, and challenged the role of science: infodemia, of which fake news is only one form. Tones of the narrative recall those of war; new or forgotten words have become commonplace; numbers of...
