La ciencia que no enseñamos

Although it is acknowledged that the history and philosophy of science can help in science teaching, an important part of these contents that are included in the curriculum do not take into account key features of this activity. In this paper I discuss some diverse topics related to realities of current science that usually are not taught to students. Some of such topics are those related to the communication in science, goals and motivation of scientists and ethic problems in science. The goal of the paper is to draw the attention of the people involved in research and in teaching sciences about these topics in order to transmit to students a more accurate vision of current science
