TALES OF DISCOVERY KARTONIERT (TB)

Research data sharing has traditionally been addressed to other peer researchers. Nowadays
there is general awareness that putting research at the disposal of society is beneficial and
necessary. However  the popularization of science is a hard endeavor. It must deal with
transmission of transcendental knowledge with the appealing adornment of a good story  but
avoiding the risk of falling into banality. This book consists in a series of individual
stories delving into the world of biology and medicine. Some topics included in this volume
consist in the explanation of basic biological concepts like the origin of modern eukaryotic
cells  the importance of mutations as the driving force behind evolution  the molecular ins and
outs of the nervous system  or the relevance of microorganisms to humans and science including
food and energy industries. Others rather lean to a more biomedical perspective and constitute
popular cases that have been  to some extent  trending in global media outlets: the divulgation
of some current under-reckoned non-infectious pandemics like obesity and chronic pain  the
presence of longer-living populations around the world named blue zones  the American (and
African) opioid crisis  or the discovery and development of CRISPR-Cas as a promising genetic
editing tool. All chapters are depicted with accompanying illustrations thoroughly elaborated
by professionals of Fine Arts to make it easier to understand for the non-experts... but may
perhaps also proof that the scientific method and multidisciplinary work are not unique to
natural sciences  but also shared by other apparently distant disciplines like arts.
