Anna Pshenichny-Mamo; Dina Tsybulsky – Science & Education, 2025
The development of understanding of nature of science (NOS) can be seen as one of the educational goals of natural history museums. In these museums, guides take on the role of educators responsible for shaping the content and style of guided tours. They play a crucial role in making scientific knowledge and narratives accessible to visitors,…

John C. Besley; Marth R. Downs – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2025
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…

Michelle M. Wang; Amanda Cardarelli; Jonah Brenner; Sarah-Jane Leslie; Marjorie Rhodes – Child Development, 2025
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…

Lisa Lundgren; Emily Slater; Man Zhang; Kadie Kunz; Gabriel-Philip Santos – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2025
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…

Jaimie Miller-Friedmann; Judith Hillier; Nicola Wilkin – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Much research investigates why women do not participate in physics, or why female attrition in physics is high; this study focuses on elite female academic physicists and how they have persisted and succeeded in their fields. As opposed to researching reasons for attrition or not participating, this study focuses on six elite female academic…

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…

Dania Bilal; Clara M. Chu; Soo Young Rieh; Yujin Choi – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping all sectors of society, including libraries. AI adoption in libraries has been gradual due to concerns and challenges, including ethical issues, maturity of the technology, insufficient AI education and training designed for library and information professionals, and gaps in AI education in library and…

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…

Miroslav Suzara; Courtney Peña; Crystal Botham – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
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…

Ashley RoseAcosta-Parra; Dax Ovid; Brie Tripp – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
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…

Christopher Donoghue; Alicia Raia-Hawrylak; Brent Harger; Noushig Ohanian; Stephen Shahin; Ash Steimle – International Journal of Bullying Prevention, 2025
Most anti-bullying curricula in schools are based on the social-ecological perspective on bullying. The resulting whole-school approaches to anti-bullying policy hold the potential to empower school communities to deal with aggression by including parents, teachers, administrators, and community members in their efforts. In this paper, we consider…
