This monograph introduces us to some of the possibilities opened up by the combination of technology and humanity, but also invites us to reflect critically on its use, which requires a commitment on the part of institutions to its preservation.
Amphibians are the most endangered group of vertebrates on the planet. Factors such as habitat destruction and climate change are pushing them towards extinction.
In the face of the climate crisis, circular chemistry is emerging as a promising solution, guided by the principles of green chemistry and the circular economy.
Learning to transform matter – whether by cooking food or turning minerals into materials for making tools – has been key to the development of human societies. Everything we are
This article reflects on outdoor recreational science and its relationship with teaching, scientific dissemination, collecting, and geological tourism.
Recreational chemistry allows us to visualise and participate in practical experiences that are not always easily accessible, but it is important that it does not obscure the scientific knowledge that we want to transmit.
One way to stimulate interest in physics is to expose people to experiences that arouse their curiosity and lead them to seek explanations for phenomena.
Today, citizens interested in science have many ways to access it, from the classic formats of books and journals, to television and radio programmes, to social networks and other internet platforms.
The pressure against poaching has increased, but the two species of gorillas (Gorilla gorilla and G.beringei) remain in critical danger. Now more than ever, the future of gorillas depends on us.
I suddenly imagined Barbieland to be the world where scientists live, where they research and reach conclusions from empirical data, share ideas constructively, and assume that all the knowledge they produce in their labs in Scienceland ends up impacting society with technologies and wisdom that improve our lives.
In early November 1572, a new star appeared in the sky. At the time, the Aristotelian worldview held that the heavens were unchanging, so the presence of a defiant star caused society to mistrust the divine order of the heavens.
The real story of how and why the zebra has stripes is an evolutionary mystery that has puzzled ethologists and evolutionary biologists for over a hundred years.
Hannibal Lecter is characterised by a high intelligence and great serenity. But Lecter would be an exception, because psychopathy usually implies a lower general and emotional intelligence.
Dr. Georget commissioned Théodore Géricault to produce a series of ten portraits of alienated people suffering from monomania. By 2021, only five had been located, but since then three more have been identified. There are still two more to be found, so the mystery continues...
The plan to find a general definition of storytelling looked simple. Slightly unexpected problem, though… the simple, almost universal definition of storytelling was not found.
Eleven authors published an article in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet suggesting an apparent link between the MMR vaccine and the onset of autism. This news bomb led to the Wakefield scandal.
Mariño reflects on how we remember Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who died poor, blind and forgotten, and has been reduced to a giraffe story that is compulsively repeated every time someone tries to explain his ideas.
The chinstrap penguin, a bio-indicator of changes in Antarctic ecosystems, is in dramatic decline due to temperature changes that affect the abundance of its prey.
Sometimes the merits of some of the films that have won Best Picture at the Oscars are not easy to understand, as happened to the author in 2022 with Everything everywhere all at once.
Christianity has produced stories that have served as a reference point for scientific research for centuries. Two of these examples are analysed here, the story of Creation and the story of Noah's Ark.
