Do scientists have a sense of humor? Is it possible to grasp scientific topics, while having a smile on our face? How can we contribute to making science more accessible to the general public?<\/span><\/p>\n

The team of <\/span>Science Reactors<\/b><\/a> provides unique answers to those questions <\/span>on-stage<\/b> with a witty and unconventional style! The idea originated from <\/span>Eleni Grammatikopoulou<\/b>, who has dedicated 30 years of work to Science Communication. In 2014, she aimed to showcase an alternative aspect of science by establishing the innovative <\/span>Science Reactors team<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talented young scientists from diverse scientific backgrounds present science in a different way through <\/span>Stand Up Science<\/b> (performances inspired by stand-up comedy) and <\/span>Science on Stage<\/b> (scientific theater)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, they adapted their scripts in order to make science more appealing to young audiences, for the first time, creating the action <\/span>Stand Up Science kids<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>ASF23<\/b>, they will present their new Stand up <\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/i>Face to Face Science<\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/span><\/i>, adapted to the festival\u2019s theme. Endowed with talent in Science Communication, but primarily driven by a passion for science itself, Science Reactors will get on the stage of <\/span>Athens Science Festival<\/b><\/a> and make challenging scientific concepts understandable through stories of everyday life. Stories filled with humor, without it becoming the sole purpose of the performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The participants are<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Konstantinos Peristeris (Gynecologist), Konstantinos Antonaropoulos (Department of Philosophy, NKUA), who will also be the presenters. Alexandros Sourtzis (Spatial planner\/Urban planner), Polyxeni Spiliopoulou (School of Education and Sport Science\/Musician), Stavros Dimitrakoudis (Astrophysicist), Nikos Papadimitriou (Chemical\/Mechanical Engineer), Makis Zoidakis (Biologist)<\/span><\/p>\n
