What is Science Blogging?

Why Science Blogging?

Blogging improves the communication of Science to outsiders, however.

It has the potential of bringing non-scientists closer to the understanding of why Science is really important. Blogging contains features that other avenues of Science communication totally lack.

Why Science Blogging?

“The communication of Science does benefit from the diffusion of blogs by scientists. Not so much the amount or quality of the output, although these are both important assets, but the fact that blogs ran by scientists show outsiders that scientists -and Science- are reachable. The blog owners can be taken on in a chat window, they do answer silly questions, and they actually do their best to explain things, when prompted or even when left alone”.

Tommaso Dorigo, blogger scientist at CERN (Geneve) and FERMILAB (chicago)

29/01/10 11.22Il Carnevale della Fisica

Di Maria Teresa Sette | 11 novembre 2009 | Categorie: Cultura

Se diciamo carnevale il pensiero corre a quella manifestazione giocosa e libertina che ogni anno colora i corpi e lestrade di diverse città. Ma per partecipare a quello che nascerà ufficialmente il 30 novembre 2009 non vi serviràalcun costume o maschera. Vi basta essere provvisti di un blog, un account e una passione: la scienza.

Il Carnevale della Fisica è un’iniziativa ideata dal blog Gravità zero e dal suo omonimo spagnolo, con il patrociniodell’UAI (Unione Astrofili Italiani). Il 30 di ogni mese blogger, scienziati e appassionati della materia si darannoconvention sul blog come in una piazza carnevalesca per festeggiare le novità in ambito scientifico, scambiandosiarticoli, post e segnalazioni.

E per tutti i geek a cui Facebook aveva iniziato da tanto a stargli stretto, i promotori hanno lanciato anchehttp://carnevaledellafisica.ning.com/, un social network dove gli argomenti più in voga saranno fisica teorica,meteorologia, nanotecnologie, biofisica, astrofisica, ma anche arte e letteratura.

Nato per dare maggiore visibilità alle decine di blog e siti scientifici che si annidano nella Rete, il Carnevale dellaFisica è anche un modo per agevolare collaborazioni, “fare della buona scienza” e promuovere la conoscenza dellafisica tra la grande maggioranza di profani.

La data fissata per il lancio ufficiale non poteva che essere simbolica: il 30 novembre di 400 anni fa, Galileoimpugnava il suo cannocchiale e lo puntava verso il cielo per osservare quel misterioso oggetto celeste, la Luna.

Il carnevale partirà contemporaneamente in Spagna e in Italia sui rispettivi siti web di Gravità zero.

Se anche voi vi riconoscete nei personaggi di The Big Bang Theory, scordatevi Venezia o Rio, questo è il carnevaleche fa per voi. Qui troverete le regole per partecipare.
