Why did a Dutch Scientist give a TEDxTalk about
crossing the Pyrenees?
Marcel Swart at TEDxUdG:
I’m a Chemist… and so are you!

This is me and my digital circumstances
Increasing broadband. Almost everyone owns a mobile
device. Easy production and consumption of video.

#c4dudg - a physical team in a digital world
Theoretical-Experimental Research Institute:
Computational Chemistry. Pilot global communication
project on Biomimetic Catalysis

The Cathedra for Science Culture and Digital Communication
Inquiry on Digital Science Communication tied to Chemical Research and
Learning, along with Science Culture spread.
@C4DUdG: Digitally Communicating
Science. Pursuing Science
Awareness. Disseminating Science.
Inquiring on Public Outreach. New
ways of Science Learning.
Partnership with @QuimicaUdG and
@IQCCUdG
@miquelduran: University professor. Research
in Quantum Chemistry. Digital Science
Communication, Magic and Science, MOOCs,
TEDx events, Open Knowledge
@silviasimonr: Investigadora (@iqccudg ),
professora (@quimicaudg), divulgadora
(@c4dudg) i mare. Per suposat no en aquest
ordre! Moltes aficions i poc temps.
@pquimic: PhD student in Chemistry,
Universitat de Girona, interested in popular
science and 2.0 tools as a way to disseminate
and communicate science.
@fblascoc: Matemático. Convencido de que las
mates pueden llegar a todos. Además de
trabajar en la UPM doy cursos a profes,
conferencias, colaboro en medios

Pursuing Open Knowledge and Science needs
the culture of Open Educational Resources
Engaging other researchers, fostering Wikipedia
and taking into account Altmetrics
Imatge
s
oers…

Sharing, Collaborating, Cooperating: social
networking and web dynamics
A small impact milestone: a refereed paper having >1.000
cites each, Slideshare ppt’s viewed 100.000 times

PACO (Popularity-Adapted Consens Object) has proven
to be a valuable collaboration tool
Citizen-researcher Science: annual Net poll on most useful
DFT functionals for Comput. Chemistry. 1st+2nd divisions.

Saying no to boring, uninteresting, nonrelevant and
unattractive websites.
• European Researchers’ Night (since 2008)
• History of Science MOOCs
• U! Au! (video collection)+ TV3 collaborations
• Virtual and Augmented-Reality Chemical Itinerary through Girona
• CatQuimica.Cat, CatCiencia140, Instagram contests, etc.
• #jcc20, workshop on Digital Science Communication
Saying yes to attractive testimonials and appealing stories

MOOCs: a new way to communicate Science in the Net.
Especially if they are quasi-DIY
Low-Cost MOOC production: a step ahead in Science
dissemination, public awareness, and inquiry.
NYT & MOOCs (20/4/13)
2012: The Year of the MOOC
Online learning: Campus 2.0
(Nature 13/3/2013)

Science Communication 2.0.1 at MiriadaX:
building up a network of researchers interested
in communication
The GISOLR 5-MOOC initiative tackles different goals through
MOOC delivery.
GISOLR: Girona Science Open Learning and Research

TEDx events are a form of Science communication, too
From Poliakoff’s Periodic Table of Videos to TED
Ed clubs & events, everything counts

Scientists involved in TEDxTalks are key promoters of
Science
Giving an enticing TEDxTalk (or providing a PechaKucha-like
presentation) should be a basic skill for any researcher

Science Education, Science Awareness fill within
Horizon2020’s Responsible Research and Innovation
Magic and Science: pilot project to connect Science,
Education and Communication. From a MOOC to live events.

The Net is kind of magic. Science is Magic too.
And Magic is Science, indeed.
By the way… how did a mathematician and a chemist meet?
An initiative on the relationship between Science,
Magic, Education and the Net. Games to explain and
promote Science learning. A formal meeting, a MOOC.

This is you and your Anamorphosis. Attitude makes the
difference
The different actions in Science communication, linked
to actual research, pave the way to Good Science

Let’s get some fun and give you a clue about #magcimooc
This game’s hashtag is #magciredes
A mathematical-chemical game base on Martin
Gardner’s column in Scientific American

Good talks give rise to key ideas worth considering
- A professor-researcher should communicate in the
Net, but within a group’s strategy.
- It is an attitude rather than a skill
- For a group, communicating brings about
information structuring and cleanup
- A good research group provides everyone with basic
communication skills, and fosters advanced, different,
innovative skills for every member
- Don’t ask what Science in the Net can do for you,
rather ask what you can do for Science in the Net.

Your attitude is a choice - and makes the difference.
Communicating Science in the Net is an attitude.
