Dear Scientist

Overview

Project Summary

Want to talk to a scientist? The "Dear Scientist" activity aims to bring the scientific community closer to civil society, thereby promoting scientific culture and literacy.

Visit https://queridocientista.uc.pt/ and write a letter to a scientist at the University of Coimbra in an area of your interest. You will then receive a personalised reply by email, clarifying your doubts and curiosities and also showing that, like the participants, scientists have different hobbies and interests!

This is an initiative of the Faculty of Medicine's Health Communication Laboratory (LCS.FMUC), as part of the Promotion of Scientific Culture and the celebrations of the 730th anniversary of the University of Coimbra.

Main Goals

• Promotion of health literacy;
• Dissemination of science;
