Abstract

The preconceived ideas we have about the world and about many aspects of our lives are deeply influenced by the results of the research activity we call science. A large part of the decisions we make as a society and as individuals depends on information that needs to be rigorous; that is, scientific. This is the reason why having information about scientific results and ideas is essential for citizens today. Science is an ongoing process of reflection, rather than immutable and monolithic doctrine, so we need tools to develop these complex ideas and make them available for everyone.
