The Observatori de
la Comunicació Científica (Science Communication Observatory) at
Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona was the first organisation to volunteer to
participate in the World-Wide Day in Science in its inaugural year
of 2004.
The Science Communication Observatory runs the oldest and largest
science communication degree program in the Spanish-speaking world. They were also host to
the international Public Communication of Science and Technology
(PCST) conference in 2004, which coincided with the official launch of the WWDS website.
Observatory staff, Gemma Revuelta, Mònica López and Silvia Coll arranged for
their masters degree students to capture the day in science as a major part of the first
course in their program of study. Students' teams created eigth projcts that are now published in this
website.
First, check to make sure that your computer
can play this video. Is your software more than two years old? There might be a
problem. Specifically, if your computer has not had its Quicktime or Windows Media Player
software updated in the last 2 years, then it probably will not be able to play the movie.
Sorry about that.
