Description of research activity:

The Two Cultures Observatory is a multidisciplinary research group made up of science communication researchers. Its main objective is to analyse the treatment of science in the media from the point of view of two opposing visions in society: the scientific and the humanistic. The Two Cultures Observatory was set up by the team of the journal Mètode, with the aim of uniting the practice of science communication with the study and reflection on it. The journal Mètode, a quarterly publication edited by the Universitat de València and directed by the journalist and biologist Martí Domínguez, was born in 1992 with the aim of bringing science to society, encouraging debate and critical reflection on current scientific issues.
