It is known worldwide that there are fewer women working in and studying physics and engineering than in biology and chemistry. A previous study (Cheryan et al. 2017) conducted in the US devised a model to explain the strong masculine-based image of physics and engineering compared with biology, chemistry, and mathematics using three assemblages
The label “Citizen Scientists” refers to citizens who initiatively take the societal responsibility originally belonging to scientists, such as producing scientific knowledge, communicating scientific knowledge, participating in scientific policy making.
By investigating scholarly output in science communication from 1997 to 2018, this research sought evidence that science education has been increasingly focusing on communication methods to reach the public, while it has increasingly emphasized the learning effects in informal approaches for learners rather than formal school settings.
Diagrams, charts, illustrations, and photographs have long been at the heart of communicating science, and with visuals and graphics becoming easier to produce and disseminate in the digital age, we can only expect them to play an ever-increasing role in science communication.
The Athena SWAN Charter was established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education and research in the UK.
Recent years have seen a burst of interest in theatre that engages with science themes, whether that is widely regarded plays such as Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen performed in national theatre venues, or bespoke performances addressing topics of community interest in venues ranging from science museums and festivals to schools.
In this presentation, my current ecoculture jam #finaltrashtination is presented as higher education assignment and intervention in science communication that carry the potential to provide learners with the tools to use communication frameworks and acts not only to critique the abovementioned status quo but also to collaboratively generate transformation
In increasingly global hyperconsumption cultures, sustainability is not only a wicked problem (Weder et al., 2019; Davis et al., 2018; Murphy, 2012) but also a welcome vehicle for corporations to communicate about the advantages of products and services, often in misleading (Cox, 2013, p. 289) and “greenwashing” ways (Elving et al., 2015).
Problems around genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are becoming increasingly acute in China. To better understand the situation, 257 GMO cartoons were collected from various Chinese online sources. The comics collected were mainly published between 2013″“2017.
Science communicators often stress the need to make messages ‘relevant’, or engage with people on an ‘emotional level’, but what do these terms mean, and if communication has these qualities from publics’ perspectives, what effect does it have? Understanding this at the individual level underpins transforming science-society relationships.
We often ask what, but here we ask where is the future of science communication? One third of the world’s population is predicted to be living in Africa by 2050, however, with respect to science centres, as a whole Africa is being left behind.
The presentation is based on two kinds of data. First, we have made three consecutive representative surveys (from April 2020) of Finnish adult population (information sources, trust and perceptions of expertise).
Restrictions to the freedom of science and the public expression of researchers have become more prominent around the world in the last decade. In this presentation, we will analyse the academic freedom and freedom of expression of researchers in the context of authoritarian populism.
Based on the experience of the Communication Office for Outreach and Culture of the University of Campinas, in Brazil, this paper analyzes the dimensions of the university’s engagement with society since the Covid-19 outbreaking. Almost every research group, laboratory, and school turned towards helping society to cope with the crises.
How do we train new science communicators to work in a rapidly shifting digital landscape? Scientists and science communicators are increasingly reliant on social and new media in their work, which presents both benefits and challenges for engaging with others.
When climate hazards affect a city, environmental and physical impacts can be detected during and after these events. Similarly, social consequences of climate extremes, such as the public perception of climate change, can be observed. In the era of the interactive use of the Internet, huge numbers of Web data are spontaneously produced by the population during an extreme weather event.
