However, what is the ideal way to communicate science? What is the solution proposed by the current audiovisual scenario, which is so demanding in terms of entertainment and audience share? And, finally, how do we fit the language of science among the general public? Our proposal to achieve the objective of effective science communication, without sacrificing its rigor or entertainment, would be the use of the scientific documentary and its multifunctional capacity; a hybrid audiovisual format with the capacity to simultaneously assume a pedagogical, informative and entertaining narrative.</p> ER -
