S eguimos. Following the table held skepticism of science and network with those responsible for Siemens Siemens Siemens Science , Microserfs , Physics in Science Fiction and Yoriento , with the director of the magazine QUO and head of product and muyinteresante.es geo.es world, moderated by the head of Fogonazos . Whose content saved a chat closely related to the previous table happened to share with you.
World plant and digital world
expressed in these terms Jorge Alcalde, director of the magazine Quo, who believed that means "plant world", referring to the contents printed on paper, the world of cellulose should not be perceived as a dichotomy of old media versus new media, but, in his words, "there are old ways of doing things and new ways of doing things," expressing the general idea that the role and network are simply means different premise also defended by Noel Dueñas, product manager of two known digital magazines, who explained that the content printed on paper can not move without the digital medium because it simply does not work. They are different products require different treatment. Thus began a small war media Live where bloggers like Manuel Herman, Siemens Siemens Siemens Science, suggested the existence of a special complexity in the issue of disclosure of environmental science when speaker is in itself a business , which requires recognition of commercial interests involved, which may adversely affect the "transparency" (the word given by Alfonso Alcantara, Yoriento) content. Manuel Herman used the word "popularization" to refer to media reporting of payment, a term that sparked immediate protest of the guests involved. In particular, Noelia Dueñas complained about the negative connotations of the term as if he were speaking from an elitist superiority plane where you have to teach the ignorant. However no one doubted the importance of bringing science to the world and all expressed their hope that this happens and its rejection of the idea that science is elitist. Personally, I agree with the guests about the noble and laudable intention of bringing science to everyone, but I like to point out the need to ask at what price? For if to sell and science reach the people, we must distort it, even just a little, we already paying a fairly high price. This distortion has to do with a thing called sensationalism, word was not mentioned specifically but I suspect it is closer to what actually was thinking Herman, thinking that "popularity" was his way of easing. But hey, no blood came to river.
burned the powers!
A survey intended to probe the interest of science for the people of the street, pointed out that, on average, more interested in sport science, and specifically on the latter stated percentages take into account the answers "I do not understand" and "Not interested" facts to which he could not help shocked Sergio L. Palacios, a physics professor and head of Physics at the Science Fiction, which is both a blog and a course designed by him who teaches at the university and raised open to all races, both of letters and science, distinction that in his view seems absurd because a person must be fully trained and being educated should assume to know all areas of knowledge in general. He also criticized the apathy of most teachers of all subjects, briefly exposing the dismal educational scenario university, which led to a general critique of the educational system and at the same Palacios, in a moment of passion, to exclaim: "We burned the powers!". Also lamented the absurdity of a computer class in high schools, explaining that the Computer is only a tool, as such, should be integrated into all classes. "Imagine a kind of pencil," he said ironically on the subject. We can say that he preaches, for in their subject is integrated informatics and some proposed activities are digital. Missing
models also was noted, referring to the survey I opened the table, the possible distortion in favorable responses like "I'm interested in science," pointing to a possible factor in the matter of ethics. And to say that science does not matter, today, is ugly, is ethically wrong, so they say otherwise, but do not think to look good. In what came to match all the guests is in the idea that the main problem is that people see science as something foreign, something strange, like a world apart, a perception which contributes over films and other products perpetuating the distorted image of "mad scientist" or, more recently, the "silly science", referring to Flipy character, programs like "ant." Mauritius, The Return of charlatans, and was commissioned in his day he . There were also criticisms Punset, whom Herman ruled that, for him, the mistakes he has committed blunders and forever nullify all the good that you could have done. With references like these can not complain about lack of interest. Young people are missing models.
I recall that on the official website of the forum more information on these and other content.
And with that and a biscuit ...
