The hug of the scutoid (Q6119134)

Summary: This paper is a personal account of my work in the popularization of mathematics. How I started doing math popularization, why I think it is important to do this kind of tasks, and, finally, how this work can lead to some fruitful results in pure research that, initially, seems not to be related with that work of popularization.
