Conference hosts Brad Irwin and Dorothée Vatinel are here to welcome you to day two of the 2021 Ecsite Online Conference. In today's welcome, they'll be joined by two very special guests; Alexandre Quintanilha and Sharon Ament. Alexandre will provide a philosophical view from someone engaged in science and in politics, a profoundly human gaze on our world and our field. He will discuss the importance of knowledge, doubt and curiosity in the roles of science engagement professionals in the promotion of this knowledge. Sharon will be sharing exciting news on the Ecsite Mariano Gago Awards, including details on how you can get involved and be counted among the inspiring, revolutionary, creative winners in 2021.
