Quick guides

In order to hep my students, I wrote some quick guides that aim to fulfill some gaps in their education. Those guides teach the basics on how to elaborate projects, articles, talks and posters. If you want further info, please contact me or participate in my courses. Unfortunately, there are no English versions by now, but I am working on translations.

Independent articles

Here I publish opinion texts that did not find a place in regular science popularization magazines, because their ideas are not yet accepted by the national academic community. I am working on translations too.

What language shoud our science speak?
