#meupintdepesquisa
Além da participação dos pesquisadores que discutirão ciência, tecnologia e sociedade
nos painéis, o Pint of Science Online Curitiba convida outros cientistas a mostrarem suas
pesquisas durante o evento. A proposta é que professores e estudantes de graduação e
pós-graduação publiquem seus estudos nas redes sociais nos dias de evento com a
hashtag #meupintdepesquisa. A sugestão é que as postagens tenham até cinco fotos e
legenda de até 10 linhas. Uma curadoria será feita pela equipe organizadora do Pint
Curitiba para exibir algumas publicações sobre pesquisas no evento online.
