Scientific Translations

The translations nested in this page are from a long writing assignment from Science Communication & Public Engagement (Spring 2023) in which we were asked to translate a scientific article for three different audiences. The first audience I chose to write for was a middle school class, breaking down the subject into simpler sections that flow together. The second translation is tailored to an introduction level college class that may have a little background knowledge on the subject. In that, the "call to action" is much more specific than for the middle school students. Last, the third translation is intended for a local politician, which in this case would be in Brazil. The language is specific to the fact that they must have background knowledge of the issue and also trying to have them understand why the issue matters on a global scale.
