I have always loved Science. Then, I discovered that Communication was another huge passion which my DNA was craving to develop, around the age of 15, when I started to promote parties and get involved in all sorts of events in my hometown. Then, with the strong support & stimulus of my beloved parents, I studied foreign languages, travelled abroad and followed my dream of studying Social Communication. Years later, I would be joining an amazing community of global communication professionals from all around the world at the World Communication Forum, held annually in Switzerland. Each year, we discuss the trends to come within the Communication & PR industry worldwide. Each year that passes by, we see those trends becoming reality. This is our story. For the first time, in 15 years involved in the scientific study & practice of Social Communication, I am a co-author of a book.What an honour! Spasibo! Thank you so much, dear @Yanina Dubeykovskaya and   Communi...

Galileo Faced the Inquisition .   In 1633, the astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei was summoned by the Catholic Church’s chief   Inquisitor, Father Vincenzo Maculano da Firenzuola, to begin his trial for heresy .   He faced the charge of promoting the notion, considered heretical by the Church, that the Earth revolves around the sun.   Church doctrine held that the universe was centered about the Earth, i.e., that the sun turned around our planet; this dogma was central to maintaining the religious authority of Church.   Even so, the earlier work of Copernicus and Kepler had already shown that the planets orbit the sun. The Inquisition found that Galileo was “vehemently suspected by this Holy Office of [the] heresy…of having believed … the doctrine (which is false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures) that the sun is the center of the world… and that the earth does move, and is not the center of the world.”   His penalty included the “publi...

Summary:   President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team for the Department of Energy has submitted a detailed questionnaire to the Department.   Many of the requests solicit personal information on department employees and consultants relating to the role, if any, they may have played in activities that the transition team appears to be questioning. The Department correctly has refused to provide answers that identify individuals and their activites, and will furnish only information that is available to the public. Seeking such information on individuals appears to be propagandizing the scientific activities of the Department.   By soliciting this information the transition team implicitly chills the activities of the staff, intimidating them as they carry out their professional duties and casting a pall on their job security.   Such behavior is intolerable and must be put to an immediate end.   Introduction. In the Soviet Union, Stalin’s dictatorial regi...

Honorable President-Elect Trump: By the end of the present century, 2100, man-made global warming could be a major existential threat to humanity’s way of life on earth, and to the broad ecological balance underpinning our lives and those of future generations. Everyone will feel the consequences of worsening global warming .   I’m a scientist who is deeply concerned for the welfare not only of our planet’s present inhabitants, but especially for our progeny:   those whom we already know, and those yet to be born.   You and your family, including your children and your several grandchildren, as well as the members of your incoming administration and their families, will be among those who will be impacted as warming continues.     Why should we care about global warming?     Here’s a montage of images showing a sampling of damage and harm already brought on by warming, both domestically and abroad: Extreme events negatively impact our society and o...
