Science communication is not just about making complex ideas accessible. It means giving people the tools to navigate the world around them, make independent decisions, and counter misinformation and pseudoscience.

In this episode of Bench-Mark, Elisa Palazzi, climatologist, Associate Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Turin and President of the Scientific Committee of Associazione CentroScienza ETS, discusses the value of science communication as a bridge between research and society.

Founded in 1996, CentroScienza works to foster a solid and critical scientific culture, developing languages and formats that bring research closer to people. A genuine “toolbox” for navigating the complexity of the world around us and making more informed choices.

Interview by Francesco Antonioli.
