Joandomènec Ros, president of the Institute of Catalan Studies (IEC) and of the Council for the Protection of Nature, professor emeritus of Ecology at the University of Barcelona, ​​publisher of ecology and science in general, and translator of a good number of books on ecology, marine biology, evolutionary biology and history of science, offered the lecture "The scientific essay seen by the author and the translator" in the framework of the summer course of the Universitat Jaume I «Esay: thinking in dialogue and models of language".

Ros made an introduction to the different types of essays, their evolution and their importance for scientific dissemination, which is nothing more than "making our scientific knowledge available to a wider audience". The president of the IEC defended the need to make more scientific dissemination and ensured that "our scientists do not know how to divulge". In this sense, he pointed out that this is not a specific problem, since "scientists are not media with some exceptions like Carl Sagan, Edward O. Wilson or Stephen J. Gould, who are both great scientists and great communicators and essayists".

To conclude, Joandomènec Ros indicated that "every time more scientific dissemination is made, but not as much as needed or with the quality required". He pointed out as a big problem the fact that society is illiterate in science. That is why he concluded his speech by saying that "we need more scientific dissemination and more essay. Society needs it, and our scientists can do it because the system allows it and values ​​it."
