The fundamental purpose of teaching is to provide a conceptual overview of the methods, tools, and strategies relevant to scientific communication at various levels. An additional objective will be to provide the critical foundations aimed at a critical understanding of the ways in which scientific issues related to environmental and climate emergencies are covered in the media.Expected Learning OutcomesAt the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired the following knowledge and abilities to apply them:- acquisition of basic scientific concepts and the related scientific language concerning issues such as climate risks and geological-environmental risks;- the ability to understand, interpret, and discuss the social and media implications of the scientific topics addressed;- the ability to critically read and interpret the contents of articles, both scientific and popular science, related to the topics covered. The expected learning outcomes, particularly with reference to the second of the highlighted points, are consistent with the learning outcomes of the Study Program as a whole.
