Where do research and public curiosity meet? Who is the science audience in Romania? What are the reasons, but also the reluctance of researchers to talk about their results outside the circle of specialists?
On 2 December, at 18:00, Researchers' Night invites you to an online discussion with Tudor Oprea, a medical researcher at the University of New Mexico (USA) and Andrada Fiscutean, freelance journalist, with articles published in Nature, Wired, Motherboard, etc.
If you want to attend the meeting on Zoom, please register at this link.
The discussion will also cover topics such as: the voice of science during the pandemic / What outreach means and why it is becoming an important part of research projects / What scientists can do if they want to take a step towards the public. You can submit questions before the event via the form or during the event, either live on Zoom or on Facebook page Researchers' Night.

With more than 250 publications as author or co-author, 9 patents and two books in the field of drug discovery, Tudor Oprea is currently investigating the use of artificial intelligence in drug discovery.
