Symposium on Science Communication



Every stage in a project must come to a closing. The same way all of our favorite TV shows have Season Finales, our Human Practices project came to a "season finale" with an event that congregated several personalities at the local and national level to discuss the issues we addressed throughout this year.

This event was a Symposium on Science Communication called "Perspectives on Science Perception and Communication", held at the Auditorium of the Center for Genomic Sciences on October 23rd, 2012. This symposium consisted of the following activities:

1. Inauguration by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology of the State of Morelos, Mexico, Brenda Valderrama.
2. Presentation of the Bacillus Booleanus project by our Team Members
3. A brief recess to allow the atendees of the Symposium to see the BioSintetizARTE exposition
4. A "Round Table" about Science Communication and Perception with noted science communicators, scientists and representatives of the society.
