because science is fundamental in the 21st century
In this episode Bart and Dennis talk about He Jiankui’s experiment, who announced the birth of the first genetically modified babies.
It has been a while since I made the first video on how to subscribe to our podcast, and since then some things has changed. In particular, Spotify is now listing Science for Societal Progress. Also, Google launched a new podcast app, that is included in Android – and they found us, too, already!
So, the video is for new podcast listeners who want to subscribe to Science for Societal Progress. But, of course, the principle is the same for all podcasts:
There are two categories of tools you can use:
1. Podcast / Audio Apps such as
— Google Podcast (Android native)
— ITunes / Apple Podcast (iOs native)
— stitcher, player.fm, blubrry, etc.
— Spotify
2. RSS feed readers (I use feedly)

Hello progressive people!
I proudly present our two new projects!
I just uploaded the first episode of our podcast where Hugo and I have a conversation on science communication, and FameLab. Of course we also geeked out a bit in the end! 😛
Hugo is a member of Science for Progress. He is currently working on his MSc thesis at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2017 he took part in the FameLab science communication contest. Here we talk about his experience.
And we also started collecting people who are active on Twitter to contribute to our upcoming ‘rotating curation’ account @SfProcur . Such ‘rocur’ accounts feature a different curator every week. I am excited that despite the virtually absent followship of the account (starting is always difficult), people have responded very positively to my requests! So, please follow @SfProcur! Starting date is in March!
I hope you will enjoy our new projects!
Hello everybody,
After the Christmas break we had a slow start, but now we are back!
We started a new project: the twitter rocur account @SfPRocur!
Rocur stands for ‘rotating curation’, which means that every week there will be another guest on the account. The guests will be tweeting about things related to progressivism. I am in contact with science communicators, and Science March organizers, so far. I’m proud to announce, we already have two people signed up!
However, a curation rotation is one week and a year has 52, so there are virtually unlimited slots to be filled! So, if you feel you have a contribution to make and love tweeting, contact us with your topic and we will see if you are a good fit! The contact address is socialadmin@scienceforprogress.eu
think about it!
Dennis
