Summary

The knowledge derived from the experience gathered in the dissemination of scientific information reinforces the awareness on the need to study the techniques and procedures to improve scientific dissemination as it is currently carried out. University professorships of scientific dissemination could perhaps take on such a task. In this way, we would be able to face evils like the confusion between science and pseudo-science. It would also be possible to achieve a better transmission of contents directed to the citizenry. The media, furthermore, would not only disseminate science but also collaborate in research. Projects such as SETI@home are an example of this. All of this would allow us to provide the basis, knowledge and critical thinking, to have an autonomous criterion with respect to the presence and growing repercussion of science and technology in social life.
