Nous aimons tous la science ! Ses progrès, ses promesses, ses découvertes fracassantes pour l’humanité ! Nos timelines regorgent de contenus qui participent à la diffusion de ces la science et entretiennent contenus de vulgarisation et d’anticipation font de la science, et de ses promesses, un objet de curiosité Mais comment fonctionne VRAIMENT la science ? Quelle place occupe-t-elle dans nos vies quotidiennes ? Quelle est sa chaîne de valeur ? Quel est son sens ? Qu’est ce qui guide le travail des scientifiques ? Comment s’articulent les interactions entre une science parnassienne (l’art pour l’art), une science humaniste (politique, écologique et progressiste) et une science business (l’économie de la science) ? Quel est le rôle des amateurs éclairé, ces artisans de la vulgarisation, dans la grande marche de LA science ? Venez en parler à l’Antenne le 11 décembre à 19h avec un prestigieux panel réuni par Solvay et le Social Media Club France.
