Abstract
Durante la COVID19 la producción científica respecto al tema se incrementó en un promedio de más de 1.000 artículos mensuales. La divulgación científica de estos temas mediante redes sociales digitales también creció. Los difusores de conocimiento científico a través de redes como Twitter han debido cambiar sus estrategias durante la pandemia. Esta investigación cuantitativa, transversal y bibliográfica de tipo observatorio-descriptivo mide el alcance, actividad e interacciones que tuvieron una muestra de 10 divulgadores de ciencia (5 hombres y 5 mujeres) durante la primera ola de la COVID19 (mayo de 2020). Se concluye que la presencia de los divulgadores científicos en Twitter durante la pandemia tuvo un importante alcance para combatir las noticias falsas e informar sobre diversos temas científicos. Además, desde un enfoque de género, se evidencia una brecha de género entre las mujeres y los hombres que divulgan ciencia.
