泛科學共同創辦人暨知識長
關於
鄭國威(Portnoy)是台灣科學傳播者與媒體創業者,泛科學(PanSci)共同創辦人暨知識長——泛科學是台灣最大的科普內容媒體與社群。他是 2000 年代中期的先驅部落客,就讀中正大學電訊傳播研究所期間,創辦並主編源自哈佛柏克曼中心公民媒體計畫「全球之聲」(Global Voices)的中文版。2011 年他與徐挺耀在台灣數位文化協會下共同創辦泛科學,2014 年獨立為泛科知識股份有限公司。如今他以語速飛快的「泛科學阿伯」身分主持泛科學 YouTube 頻道——訂閱數已突破百萬——借助 AI 工具把最新研究論文做成每日短影音。他的核心信念是:科學素養的第一步,是勇敢承認「我不知道,但我很有興趣,想了解一下」;而把艱澀知識「轉譯」到人人能懂,正是高階專業者的基本功。
