Communication strategies define audience-specific behavioral goals, identify priority cognitive and affective communication objectives necessary to achieving those goals, and propose specific communication tactics meant to increase the likelihood of achieving those objectives. Unfortunately, it appears that few scientific organizations have…

Gender-science stereotypes emerge early in childhood, but little is known about the developmental processes by which they arise. The present study tested the hypothesis that language implying scientists are a special and distinct kind of person contributes to the development of gender-science stereotypes, even when it does not communicate…

Amalia Kallergi; Laurens Landeweerd – Journal of Academic Ethics, 2025
Science activism is often seen as a threat to scientific credibility. Yet, an increasing number of scientists participate in climate activism and challenge the morality of remaining passive when urgent action is needed. Science activism for climate action (SACA) raises intriguing questions about the source of scientific credibility and the…

Elisabeth E. Schussler – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
Biologists pursuing faculty jobs are often married to other biologists who may also desire faculty positions. This increases the complexity of the job search, with little guidance for early career researchers about doing this successfully. Couples have been surveyed, but less research qualitatively investigates the lived experiences of couples…

The majority of research concerning science communication happens in spaces where people already have a vested interest in or knowledge of science, such as museums and science cafes. Thus, there is a gap in understanding what theory-based science communication looks like in non-science-centered spaces. This qualitative research study, which…

William Campillay-Llanos; Noemí Cárcamo-Mansilla – Discover Education, 2025
Nowadays, it is essential to promote an interdisciplinary approach in classrooms, integrating disciplines such as biology and mathematics. This necessitates familiarity with specific problem-solving practices employed by the expert community, such as mathematical modelling. This perspective piece explores a mathematical modelling practice to…

Vagelis Plevris – Journal of Academic Ethics, 2025
Citation counts are a key metric in academic success, influencing career advancement and funding. However, the pressure to increase these counts has led to unethical practices such as citation inflation through manipulation. This paper examines strategies such as excessive self-citation, coercive citation demands by reviewers, and overuse of…

Jen-Yi Wu; Sibel Erduran – Science & Education, 2024
In this paper, we use the "Family Resemblance Approach" (FRA) as a framework to characterize how scientists view the nature of science (NOS). FRA presents NOS as a "system" that includes clusters or categories of ideas about the cognitive-epistemic and social-institutional aspects of science. For example, the…

Increasingly, curricular materials for undergraduate life science courses are designed to highlight scientists with identities and backgrounds that counter historical and stereotypical representation in science. In this essay, we characterize the wide variation in the development and implementation of these curricular materials featuring…

Grant writing is an important component of academic research success across disciplines, especially in the biosciences. It also tends to be an activity that is perceived with significant anxiety and stress. Typical grant writing training programs focus on the mechanical aspects of grant writing, but what is often left out of the conversation on…

Building on decades of scholarship critiquing scientist representation in classrooms and textbooks, the present study characterizes the lifetime experiences of undergraduate students regarding their perceptions of scientists and science identity. Informed by the theoretical framework of Cultural Learning Pathways (CLP), we conducted 31…

Leadership assessment is analysed in 3 investigations: a) a quantitative study carried out with scientists (R&D), where a distinction between chief/leaders (units' director or chief) and subordinate members in academic units of research was made; b) 2 qualitative studies also carried out at the third-level: the first one with PhDs from 4…

In this study, it is aimed to determine the emotions that middle school students attribute to the images of scientists and to examine how students perceive scientists and how they explain the emotional aspects of these perceptions from a qualitative perspective. The research is based on qualitative methodology. The study group of the research was…

Timothy Hinchman – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2025
Stereotypical imagery of scientists is detrimental to effective and inclusive science education. Many elementary pre-services teachers often hold onto these images, creating an unconscious bias limiting their effectiveness to both teach science content and discourage some groups from entering the scientific field. Proactive and targeted…

This longitudinal study explores persistence in research productivity at the individual level over academic lifetime: can highly productive scientists maintain relatively high levels of productivity. We examined academic careers of 2326 Polish full professors, including their lifetime biographical and publication histories. We studied their…
