In 2002, Luis Estrada, science communication pioneer in Mexico, thought that the internet was the ideal place for future work towards the popularization of science, premised on the possibility of achieving this in a free, creative, serious and profound way. As part of his team and after a long period working as science communicators we realized that this activity required not only a scientific training and knowledge of media languages, but also the training in literary tools that allowed our language to cover the difficult and varied contents of science. This is the reason why we set up the Cienciorama Workshop / Portal in 2012, a primordially academic space open for participants to write creatively about science, to dialogue and publish articles and accessible scientific news. We think these tasks make possible the creation and extension of scientific culture, which contributes to making relevant decisions for the future of society.
