Measuring the effectiveness of communication of a podcast on food sustainability
Pinto, Bruno; Matias, Ana; Granado, AntónioUIDB/05021/2020 UIDP/05021/2020; In this study, the effectiveness of communication of a podcast was assessed regarding the variables knowledge retention and interest. Two podcast episodes were produced about Portuguese research in sustainable food, and two news pieces with similar information and reading times were written to be used as a control for this experiment. Initially, 115 students from two universitie...
Menthol-based deep eutectic systems as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agen...
Oliveira, Filipe; Silva, Eduardo; Matias, Ana; Silva, Joana M.; Reis, Rui L.; Duarte, Ana Rita C.PTDC/BBB- 490 EBB/1676/2014. ERC-2016-CoG 725034 (ERC Consolidator Grant Des.solve). Publisher Copyright: © 2022; Effective antimicrobial treatment has been identified as a serious and unmet medical need. Herein, we present a strategy based on deep eutectic systems (DES) to overcome current limitations, answering the need not only to effectively kill bacterial agents but also to avoid their adhesion and prolife...

Matias, Ana; Dias, Andreia; Gonçalves, Cláudia; Vicente, Paulo Nuno; Mena, Ana LúciaUIDB/05021/2020 UIDP/05021/2020; Engaging communities at risk of social exclusion poses a big challenge for science communicators. We schematize a framework for projects using science & art to promote social inclusion, composed of 3 phases — design, plan and collaboration; implementation; and evaluation. We present a case study that aimed to engage with a community of migrant senior women, mostly illiterate. Ou...
