Science Communication
In the last couple of years, it has been evident that progressing science through research is insufficient. During these times of misinformation and fake news, a scientist is required not only to advance humanity through creating knowledge but also to communicate the known and discovered to the general public. Many popular science initiatives exist for scientists to create popular science for the general public.
Little, Big Science (LBS) is an Israeli NGO that communicates popular science. The writers in LBS are all researchers and scientists. The NGO's Facebook page is the most followed popular science page on the platform. LBS also runs Instagram, Twitter profiles, and a website, all dedicated to reaching the masses.
Elad has been writing for LBS since 2018. He has written many posts in his area of expertise: optimization and artificial intelligence.
