| Manuel Calvo Hernando |
I'll start with a personal anecdote:
- At
the end of the 1980s, I became a member of the Spanish Association of
Scientific Journalism, which had been created in the early 1970s by the
famous Spanish science popularizer Manuel Calvo Hernando, whose articles
in a major newspaper I had been following since the 1960s. By then, I was writing
many science popularization articles, which were published by another
Spanish newspaper, La Vanguardia. Calvo Hernando was delighted to receive
me at the Association.
- Around
the year 2000, this association changed its name to the Spanish
Association for Scientific Communication (AECC in Spanish). These initials
happened to be the same as those of the Spanish Association Against
Cancer. Therefore, the acronym has recently been changed to AEC2.
