Una asignatura pendiente de la comunidad científica actual es la de encontrar fórmulas imaginativas para acercar el trabajo realizado dentro de los laboratorios a la sociedad en general, de una manera comprensible para ésta. Los científicos deberían tener la voluntad de trasmitir a la sociedad conceptos científicos con precisión y, a su vez, conocer aquello que la sociedad espera del trabajo científico. El jurado del II Concurso de relatos científico-literarios "¿te atreves...?" estuvo compuesto por los siguientes miembros: César de Haro (Investigador Científico CSIC), Graziella Almendral (periodista especializada en divulgación científica), Antonio Talavera (Científico Titula...
La serie Cienciaenshorts nace para dar cabida a pequeños relatos que acercan al público de forma amena diferentes aspectos de la ciencia en formatos literarios. Obras menores solo en extensión. Se trata de una fórmula imaginativa que puso en marcha hace años nuestra editorial en forma de concurso, donde los autores de los relatos fueran científicos-escritores con voluntad de trasmitir con precisión conceptos científicos a la sociedad, de una manera comprensible para esta. El jurado del II Concurso de relatos científico-literarios "¿Te atreves...?" estuvo compuesto por: César de Haro (Investigador Científico CSIC), Graziella Almendral (periodista especializada en divulgación científica), Antonio Talavera (Científico Titular CSIC), Mónica Fernández-Aceytuno (Bióloga y escritora especializada en divulgación ambiental) y Elena Feduchi (Editorial Hélice). Entre los relatos mejor valorados, "El útimo recurso" (Marcelo Vaccarezza), es un diálogo establecido sobre hipótesis que relacionan el cáncer de colon con la edad.
Networks of Outrage and Hope is an exploration of the newforms of social movements and protests that are erupting in theworld today, from the Arab uprisings to the indignadas movement inSpain, from the Occupy Wall Street movement to the social protestsin Turkey, Brazil and elsewhere. While these and similar socialmovements differ in many important ways, there is one thing theyshare in common: they are all interwoven inextricably with thecreation of autonomous communication networks supported by theInternet and wireless communication. In this new edition of his timely and important book, ManuelCastells examines the social, cultural and political roots of thesenew social movements, studies their innovative forms ofself-organization, assesses the precise role of technology in thedynamics of the movements, suggests the reasons for the supportthey have found in large segments of society, and probes theircapacity to induce political change by influencing people’sminds. Two new chapters bring the analysis up-to-date and draw outthe implications of these social movements and protests forunderstanding the new forms of social change and politicaldemocracy in the global network society.

While these forms of culture promoted ethnic integration they also produced a new kind of polarization that helped Juan Peron to build the mass movement that propelled him to power.

Biological processes are driven by complex systems of functionally interacting signaling molecules. Thus, understanding signaling molecules is essential to explain normal or pathological biological phenomena. A large body of clinical and experimental data has been accumulated over these years, albeit in fragmented state. Hence, systems biological approaches concomitant with the understanding of each molecule are ideal to delineate signaling networks/pathways involved in the biologically important processes. The control of these signaling pathways will enrich our healthier life. Currently, there are more than 30,000 genes in human genome. However, not all the proteins encoded by these genes w...
