This document summarizes several topics discussed at a science communication event: 1) It discusses the importance of scientists acting as poets, chefs, and cheerleaders to create conversation about their research among the public. 2) It lists areas of biomedical research, science communication research, and frontiers in computing that were discussed. 3) It provides brief updates on collaborations studying genetic variants related to heart conditions and Horizon 2020 projects on responsible research and innovation.

2. Poets, chefs and cheerleaders
• On Chef Scientist, Poet Scientists, and Cheer Scientists
• Wagensberg: Trascendence of a museum cannot be assessed by the
number of its visitors, but by the conversation it creates
• Trascendence of research can (also) be assessed by the conversation it
creates among people, society

3. Looking forward
• Biomedical research
• Science communication research
• Frontiers in computing

4. Interpreting Non-Coding Variants to
Predict the Risk of Brugada Syndrome
Collaboration with Sara Pagans, Dept. Medicina +
Centre de Genètica Cardiovascular + IdibGI.

5. Horizon 2020: Responsible
Research and Innovation
Science with and for society
• Digital Science
Communication
• Magic and Science
• Low-Cost Communication of
Research

6. #clowcore
• Our research is usually difficult to communicate to the public
• Our research lies on complex concepts that society does not
quite understand (let's suppose we do understand them, of
course)
• Explaining in a plain way buckyball, helium hydride,
aromaticity, entropy, chemical bond, bond critical point,
electron density, entangles pairs, quantum mechanics, ...

7. Frontiers in Computing
The world is pushing technology, methodology, and
frontiers of science
Artificial Intelligence in (Quantum) Chemistry
Quantum Computing in (Quantum) Chemistry
IBM Q suite of Quantum
Computing Simulator...
and computer too.
