Changing the image in Research

ff1One of the biggest challenges currently facing the scientific community is to share the fruits of their work to the rest of society. Society today demands the dissemination of research and looks at the achievements, need to know how to go back to your own health or life research outcomes.

Although the scientific community and the rest of society tend to live apart from one another, there is a growing interest and increased participation of the latter by the former. The gradual rapprochement between the two is reflected by the amount of specialized news and information that proliferate in print, radio and television. Today it is common for people outside the scientific know and discuss the latest advances in research, health sciences, astronomy and so on.
