This article highlights the importance of scientific and technological dissemination in contemporary society, especially facilitated by technological advances. During the COVID-19 pandemic, technology enabled and boosted the transition from in-person events to an online format. The “Coffee With Science BIO UVA online” project exemplifies this transition. This university extension project aimed to promote scientific dissemination online, attracting and engaging a diverse audience through social media. The applied methods included virtual lectures (Lives) and workshops on various scientific and educational topics, using social networks (YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram) as the main platforms for transmission and outreach. During the analyzed period, 82 LIVES were conducted (24 in 2020, 33 in 2021, and 25 in 2022) with speakers from national and international institutions. The project received 2,320 responses via Google Forms. Analysis showed a decrease in responses: 963 in 2020, 713 in 2021, and 644 in 2022. We conclude that online scientific dissemination via virtual lectures, supported by social networks, is a powerful tool for promoting scientific education, as demonstrated by the positive impact of the Coffee With Science BIO UVA online project, thereby contributing to the dissemination of scientific knowledge and the building of a more integrated connection between the scientific and non-scientific communities.
