In defense of the humanities

I have always found inspiration in reading, enjoy the pleasure it provides a work of art, listening all kinds of music. I feel that establishing a tacit and honest dialogue with the creator of the work. The hue of a stroke. A silence in the score. Learn the details, I enjoy the whole and, increasingly, I wonder the aesthetic sense that progressively educates each human brain.

Our time bonus no culture or science. I think it's a mistake, against which I always try to react. Happiness depends heavily facts that we raise, the ideas that inspire us. Banal consumption of media content predictable subtly leads to a sense of scam. However, few people consistently react and express their love for the humanities and the arts.

Recently, I attended the first meeting TED has taken place in Barcelona. TED provides a format for people who have something worth listening to talk openly, elevate and inspire an audience convinced of the need to exchange our ideas. In this event, TedxBarcelona , I heard a talk that caught my particular attention. I would recommend the presentation open Liz Coleman that was projected for all of us (you can turn on subtitles.)

science is not an easy task because it involves finding the balance between good intentions that conflict. For example, a text can opt for the principles of honesty, depth and information are not trivial or, conversely, you can try to be accessible, understandable, informative and entertaining. A simulation illustrating the physical principle can be reliable or may be artistic. Each of the details of a text constitute a decision that not everyone judges alike.

In this intricate web of choices, many scientists prefer not to get involved and allow disclosure in the hands of people trained in the world of communication. It's a shame, because the voice of the scientist always brings a special value to any attempt to disclosure. This lack often makes science at the frontier of knowledge is neglected or misrepresented in the media.

In an attempt to propose something different, together with Prof. Maite Soto (Audiovisual Communication Sciences, UAB), we have initiated several outreach projects underway. The idea is to try to explain the science frontier way that is satisfactory to both scientists to the media. So far we Conclude a report on the telescope to detect lightning Magic range to reach Earth. We are also creating ua television (IPTV) that will have several channels and programs. We will complete the effort with a radio.

There is a brief introduction to the ideas in the folowing link:
