Llamamiento a los jóvenes para que divulguen la ciencia
Como algunos ya sabréis, desde hace unos meses, gracias a un grupo de magníficos colaboradores -reconocidos científicos de la blogosfera- pusimos en marcha un proyecto que consiste en la publicación online de una revista de divulgación científica en español (y gratuíta) llamada JoF (acrónimo de Journal of Feelsynapsis). Aquí podéis visitar nuestra biblioteca virtual.
En Noviembre salio el primer número y ha sido todo un éxito, así que quiero agradecer personalmente todos los magníficos comentarios y felicitaciones que habéis hecho al respecto y, como no, a todos los colaboradores que lo habéis hecho posible.
El objetivo fundamental de esta publicación es la DIVULGACIÓN, así con letras mayúsculas. Y en este sentido, los integrantes de JoF hemos optado por introducir este «germen» entre los más jóvenes; es decir, los estudiantes: científicos y divulgadores del futuro.
Por ello, si eres estudiante de licenciatura, grado, máster del universo o doctorado relacionado con estudios de ciencias, ingeniería, salud, tecnología o cualquier cosa que huela a ciencia, te promonemos participar en JoF. Y si eres estudiante de Bachillerato (¿sigue existiendo?) y sientes que el virus de las ciencias corre por tus venas también nos vale.
¿Cómo puedes participar? Es muy sencillo.
1. Elige un tema: el que quieras
2. Escribe un artículo divulgativo de unas 1000-1200 palabras (no pasa nada si son menos palabras)
3. Puedes usar hasta 4 figuras o imágenes
4. Envianoslo a jof@feelsynapsis.com junto con una breve BIO (nombre y apellidos, estudios que cursas, ciudad y entidad donde estudias, tu blog o webpage si la tienes, etc…)
Trataremos de publicar todos aquellos que recibamos en los sucesivos números de la revista. En función de la longitud de los mismos se podrán incluir varios en un mismo número.
Dicho esto, solamente queda esperar a recibir y publicar vuestros artículos.
¡Ah! Se me olvidaba: SE AGRADECE TODA LA DIFUSIÓN POSIBLE DE ESTA INICIATIVA.
¡Saludos!

Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at meledak77mantap reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.
The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at twainskipper maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at magisteriuma kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at aurablis 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.
One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at mage77-rtp kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at joshuablackwellmd extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at mariahill carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at a-nz49 maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at voxshop confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at debrabowen pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at haircover confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.
Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at chousea continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at pomswap reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at blog33beat kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at squaresloop kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at softcascade added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at seccert held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on seattlebeaches I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at percentsa pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at devthrive continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at juliabarker the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at alphaapp confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through a-nz35 the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at meghanlawson extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at a-nz31 did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at killingstalking extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at yalashostore extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at a-nz48 extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at qinlji kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at samanthasmith extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.
Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at dylcane added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at vipsportsclub extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at bedheada continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at christinahenderson reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at blog44threes added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at blog44choices reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to walterrivas only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at emmywrite extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at blog66glass provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at synoptica extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.
Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at a-nz45 sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.
Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at devdepot added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.
Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at ridgeroute added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to showboxed kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at usbestsports continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at blog33add extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at pomazok continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at globalgrid extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at devpinnacle added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at modificationa extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
