This is a paradigmatic case because it raises a problem of great importance<br \/>\nin the era of Big Science: how to manage the communication of a major scientific discovery when the research involves thousands of<br \/>\npeople, including researchers and funders? And how to deal with the increasingly frequent leaks, whose rapid dissemination<br \/>\nis made even easier when conveyed by the web and social networks?  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4589","seminari","type-seminari","status-publish","hentry","categorie_seminari-colloquium"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seminari\/4589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seminari"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/seminari"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oa-cagliari.inaf.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
