In the 21st century the number of scientists is rapidly increasing and science and society are becoming more and more intertwined. Also science is becoming more technical and complex, as we're gazing further and further while standing on the shoulders of many generations of giants.
In this rapidly changing environment it is important to reflect on the \textbf{role}, the \textbf{best practices} and the \textbf{responsibilities} of the individuals doing science. %in the 21st century.
I argue that this should be one of the primary concerns for the scientific community and society at large. This is because, as mentioned before, the future (and probably survival) of humankind relies heavily on the recommendations of the scientific community and its scientific and technological discoveries. Unfortunately most scientists were not trained to face this emerging scenario, which in particular requires
them to successfully engage in a
better dialog with the public, the media and the political class. Fortunately scientists have been trained to learn quickly new skills and adapt rapidly to changing paradigms and new challenges. It's time to identify what these skills and challenges are. That's the rationale behind this manifesto.
