Editorial – The recipe of communication in science
My name is Araceli, and presently I am doing my PhD at the University of Strathclyde under the supervision of Andrew Daley.
Throughout my childhood the process of learning science relied basically on educators together with books. Nowadays, the access to all kind of videos and online courses is only a stone’s throw away, thanks to new technologies. The means used to teach and communicate science have changed over the years. Nevertheless, the general way to connect with people remains basically unaltered.
