Charla extendida de la presentación de Prof Héctor Socas-Navarro en 9º Foro SRAP


Motivado por la charla de clausura de nuestro 9º Foro de Investigación Australia-España, el Prof. Héctor Socas-Navarro (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Universidad de La Laguna, y Director del Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos de Tenerife), afamado comunicador científico, ha compartido hoy, 12 de noviembre, en su canal de YouTube una versión extendida de su conferencia y en español, que creemos puede resultar muy interesante.

El episodio se titula «Ep10. Homo mundis«, y muestra, según Prof. Héctor Socas-Navarro, las razones por las cuales necesitamos una gobernanza planetaria para afrontar los problemas planetarios. La vieja organizacón humana en naciones como máxima autoridad está obsoleta.
