Science, Innovation, Communication and Ethics in the days of COVID-19 in Latin America

Abstract

Two renowned Cuban scientists and professors who arrived in Brazil in the last decade of the last century, completed their doctorates at USP and expanded their professional achievements in the country, share in a relaxed way their knowledge and experiences about Science, Technology, Communication and Ethics in the times of COVID-19 in Latin America. One of them from the Exact Sciences area, Efrain Pantaleón Matamoros; and the other from Social Sciences, Felipe Chibás Ortiz. The views of these two Latin American researchers - who have previously written an article together on Innovation Management - now speak of these themes from the perspectives of different sciences, in an enriching way – relevant to the context of the ‘new-normal’ during the times of Covid-19. This article, presented as an interview, reflects on what these two experts have to say about Science, Technology, Innovation, Communication and Ethics in the days of COVID-19 in Latin America, from their unique perspectives.
