For example, there are those Do it in the field work, in the woods, as shown in this chapter, and those who do it from the laboratory or from different places.It’s important because it means that in science you can also choose.Obviously showing what science does is a necessity so that young people can from determining how this can positively impact biodiversity, ecosystems, health, the environment and society in general.” He also highlighted the role of audiovisual productions, such as those produced by CONICET documentaries promoting scientific careers: “Public communication of science is essential to encourage scientific vocations and show what science can do to society.”
The Minister of Science congratulated those involved in the production of the series and emphasized: “For us, it is as important to develop science as it is to inform it. As we have seen recently, among other things, research is necessary to take care of the planet’s resources and for society to be able to progress.
