The European Space Agency's ExoMars mission will seek evidence of organic compounds biological and non-biological origin at the martian surface. One instruments in Pasteur payload may be a Life Marker Chip that utilizes an immunoassay approach to detect specific molecules or classes molecules. Therefore, it is necessary define prioritize molecular targets for antibody development. Target have been selected represent meteoritic input, fossil matter, extant (living, recently dead)...
YouTube has become the second most popular web search engine (see Alexa.com ) and primary website for individuals organisations to freely distribute video content. Popularity statistics indicate that Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics–related content is of significant interest audiences, yet analysis 391 science, engineering mathematics–themed channels reveals a conspicuous absence female communicators, with hosts just 32 these presenting as female.

Abstract Climate change emerged as an issue of science, but its broad ranging impacts and potential mitigation strategies mean it is significance to all people across sectors, interests, nations. As a result, the traditional fact-centred way communicating information about climate not necessarily best strategy for engaging full breadth publics. In communication practice scholarship, framing approach that emphasises certain attributes over others consequence shapes how understood. This has...
People's attitudes about Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC) risks are not only influenced by scientific data, such as the likelihood of harm, consequences failing to act and cost effectiveness mitigation. Instead, when people receive information controversial topics decision-relevant science like ACC they often defer their political attitudes. Recent research has shown that more numerate can be polarized these despite better ability interpret data. In this study, we investigated whether...
This paper identifies critical lessons from the climate change experience to guide how communications and engagement on negative emissions can be conducted encourage functional public policy discourse. Negative technologies present a significant opportunity for limiting change, are likely necessary keep warming below 2°C. While concept of is still in its infancy, there evidence nascent polarization, lack nuance discussion individual technologies. We argue that if implemented effectively...
Recent research has identified anti-vaccination propaganda in the so-called Russian Troll Tweets strongly associated with 2016 US Presidential election. This study builds on this: hypothesising that if vaccination content was found sample, Russia would be likely to contain other science content, and perhaps, similar pseudo or anti-science messages. As well as vaccination, climate change, genetically modified organisms, Ebola, flat Earth beliefs (flat Earthism) Zika were tweets. Genetically...
Storytelling plays a crucial role in science communication, but little research has investigated how it impacts the popularity of videos. This study examined storytelling components 306 popular YouTube videos and revealed significant relationships between video five components, namely dramatic question, insight, moments change, emotional arousal status story. Emotional arousal, particular, showed strong association with popularity. The results shed light on increasing
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin is the bacterial product responsible for clinical syndrome of Gram-negative septicemia and endotoxic shock. During sepsis, microbial antigens, such as LPS, activate monocytes macrophages to produce several pro-inflammatory cytokines, among which tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) appears be very important development The properties LPS principally reside in lipid A (LIP A) component, primary immunostimulatory center bacteria. In recent years there has...
The purpose of the study was to understand farmers’ response hybrid rice over last decade. To achieve this, we used “diffusion innovation” model as developed by Rogers. specific objectives guiding were to: i) describe socio-economic and demographic characteristics farmers; ii) survey varieties cultivated decade identify best performers; iii) assess extent adoption in Bangladesh; investigate influence selected influencing decisions on adopting rice. conducted five regions Bangladesh. A...
In this content analysis, we explored how students address instructor ideology in the university classroom through social media platform Twitter. We employed Boolean search operators Salesforce Marketing Cloud Radian6 software to gather tweets and identified English language by referenced their instructor's ideology. Tweets originated United States (U.S.), Kingdom (U.K.), Australia. Using qualitative coding procedures, seven themes data that described wrote about on Twitter: venting...
Abstract Science centres and other informal learning environments are increasingly becoming venues in which socioscientific issues presented, sometimes with the aim of influencing attitudes behaviour. This study investigated effects an HIV AIDS science theatre presentation on behavioural intentions 697 South African students, a population facing extreme risk. Surveys measured 15 HIV-related before after presentation. Significant changes occurred 9 including resisting peer-pressure, learning,...
Geoengineering technologies – deliberate, large-scale interventions to alter the Earth's climate present an opportunity ameliorate effects of change; policy-makers are beginning consider. However, safety and efficacy geoengineering strategies is uncertain, there concern advancing these engenders a range non-physical risks; in particular, moral hazard. In economics, hazard occurs when insured agents no longer bear full consequences risk-taking, consequentially increase their exposure risk....
Visuals are often used to enhance learning of scientific information. The recent emergence and popularity comic-style instruction books for adults, such as the ‘manga guide …’, shows possibility comic style visualisations communication science with adults. This study investigates whether addition visual accompaniment information, in books, influences immediate short-term fact recall an adult audience. Participants ( n = 310 aged 18–79, 52% identified female) were presented 20 general facts...
