La imagen de la química: ¡destápala!
El próximo jueves 17 de noviembre se inaugurará la exposición La imagen de la química: ¡destápala!, preparada por la Universidad de Valencia y comisariada por los profesores Carmen Ramirez de Arellano y Salvador Albiñana. La exposición estará en la Sala de la Muralla del Colegio Mayor Rector Peset (Plaza Horno de San Nicolás, 4, 46001 Valencia) hasta el 5 de febrero de 2012.
La imagen de la química ¡Destápala! es una exposición que invita al espectador a reflexionar sobre las causas y consecuencias de la percepción social negativa que ha tenido –y sigue teniendo- la química. A pesar del esfuerzo que en estos doscientos últimos años han realizado los científicos por mostrar la química como fuente de conocimiento, salud, confort y bienestar, el término se asocia popularmente con venenos, sustancias peligrosas, armas, polución medioambiental o incluso con la alquimia, la brujería y los científicos locos. Esta actitud ha podido contribuir, quizá, a la considerable disminución en el número de estudiantes y de departamentos universitarios destinados a la química, y también a la creación de nuevas especialidades en las que la palabra química se ha modulado o desaparecido por completo: ‘Química Verde’, ‘Ciencia de Materiales’, ‘Ciencia Molecular’, ‘Nanotecnología’…
La exposición presenta treinta imágenes procedentes del arte, la prensa, la publicidad, o la literatura académica, agrupadas en cinco secciones que tratan diferentes ámbitos de la química. La primera –La imagen visual. Perspectivas– es un apunte sobre la imagen pública de la química, y está basada en el trabajo The Public Image of Chemistry, editado por Joachim Schummer, Bernardette Bensuade-Vincent y Brigitte Van Tigglen (World Scientific, 2007). Una imagen, forjada a lo largo de siglos, que resulta de la interacción entre científicos y no científicos. Comprender los mensajes socioculturales implícitos y el contexto histórico de determinados estereotipos visuales con los que se retrata a la química, permite conocer las asociaciones negativas que conllevan.
Medio ambiente y energía es la segunda sección. La química ha cambiado nuestro modo de vida de forma irreversible y difícilmente renunciaríamos a los logros alcanzados. Los químicos se involucran en la búsqueda de soluciones energéticas innovadoras de mayor rendimiento y menor impacto medioambiental, sin embargo el público los relaciona con el deterioro del ecosistema y del planeta.
El agua, los metabolitos o los productos naturales son compuestos químicos y también lo son los productos sintéticos que potabilizan el agua, combaten epidemias, tienen propiedades farmacológicas y permiten una producción de alimentos sanos en condiciones adversas. La tercera sección –Salud, higiene y alimentos– destaca algunos de los muchos logros alcanzados al crear compuestos de aplicaciones beneficiosas que en la interfase con el público pasan a ser meras substancias tóxicas y portadoras de enfermedades.
El siguiente apartado –Nuevos materiales– presenta la evolución de la tecnología, los tejidos, los deportes y los materiales que utilizamos a diario, gracias a la síntesis de nuevos productos. Sin embargo, se observa que el protagonismo de la química en estos derivados de última generación y con propiedades antes impensables, a los que difícilmente renunciaríamos, se hace más patente cuando se convierten en contaminantes…
Por último –Prensa y campañas de imagen– destaca que ‘química’ puede ser ese algo, intangible, abstracto, que subyace en una buena relación o fusión, algo que combina bien, aunque se utiliza también con frecuencia con connotaciones negativas: un río lleno de productos químicos, un gel que no los contiene… Las campañas para mostrar el papel benefactor de la química en el devenir de la humanidad se repiten a lo largo de la historia. Este año 2011, en el que se conmemora el centenario de la concesión del Premio Nobel de Química a Marie Skolodowska-Curie, ha sido declarado Año Internacional de la Química en un nuevo y necesario esfuerzo de acercamiento de esta ciencia a la sociedad.

Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at trustedrelationshipnet extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at forwardenergyflow reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at ideaengineering kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at trustedpartnerhub confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.
Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at actionbuildsmomentum reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at professionalbondnetwork confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at directionalinsight extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at globalcollaborationhub continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at ideasunlockgrowth confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at ideapath confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at futurefocusedbond carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at strongconnectionalliance maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at progressdirection continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at growthtrustcircle reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at globalpartnerbond confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at momentumchanneling extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at unitedbusinessbond extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at executionlane carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at connectedleadersbond adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at visionarypartnersclub continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at actionframework continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at unitedvisionbond confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at growthnavigation confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at relationshipdrivenbond maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at directionalvision extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.
