\section{Public Friendly Open Science}
%There is a growing tendency for the media and the political class to misunderstand and in some case even manipulate results and views of the scientific community.
It is clear that the public has often a hard time understanding research and its relevance to society. One of the reasons for this is that scientists do not spend enough time communicating their findings outside their own scientific community. Obviously there are some exceptions, but the rule is that scientists write content for scientists.
Academia is often perceived as an ivory tower, and when
information leaks out new findings are shared with the
translation outside world this is not done by scientists, but by the media or even the political class.
Unfortunately Often these
agents, which in general external agents do not have the necessary background to digest
and properly translate the
relevant details, have a tendency to misunderstand science. They can misunderstand, over-hype and in some case even
manipulate distort the results and views of the scientific community.
It is It's somewhat frightening that the
relevance important results and implications of scientific findings
for society are not
directly disseminated by the people who really understand
it. them.
Transparency and reproducibility are at stake in the increasingly complex world of research, which is still using old-fashioned tools. This is not only a big problem for research itself, but can give science a bad name in front of the public opinion, which increasingly does not understand and trust what scientists do.
Science remains behind a jargon-wall and a pay-wall, with most recently published papers unaccessible to the average tax-payer.

\item Make their research more transparent and reproducible, so that it can be trusted and better understood by their peers and the public at large.
