Resumo em Inglês
The understanding of scientific topics is still insufficient for a large part of the population, and one of the main reasons for this is the excessive use of terms unknown by the general public. The more technical than explanatory approach of scientific subjects hinders its appropriate assimilation. One of the strategies used to overcome this problem is Scientific Dissemination (SD). It consists of addressing scientific issues in a clear, simplified language. The democratization of scientific knowledge has found in information and communication technologies (ICT) a great ally. Together, they allow those who own important knowledge to reach the general public. Blogs are easy to create and maintain, so they are one of the most used strategies by science communicators on the internet. This research aimed to highlight the importance of using blogs as a means of disseminating science, and how these are received by the general public. For this, the blog entitled Biologando was created; it published biology-related contents. To have access to the participant's, and hence Biologando´s readers, perception on SD and blogs, a form had to be filled out by each and every one of them. Results highlighted the importance of SD for the introduction and teaching of previously unknown content. In addition, they confirmed that simplified language is one productive way to understand scientific issues, thus highlighting the importance of the Blog as a resource for Scientific Dissemination.
