History of science popularization

A country aspiring to be Vishaguru needs not only to invest in science, technology and artificial intelligence but to create a culture in which common people’s abiding interest in science creates an ecosystem that inspires its youth to strive for excellence in science and technology. This demands that science communication should be given as much importance as science education. Unfortunately, science communication remains a neglected area in India. It is mostly government-driven, and though the government initiatives have a larger outreach, they lack synergy and cannot address the digital divide. We need to take a cue from how other developed countries have overcome the challenges.

Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa-das Gespenst des Kommunismus." (O fantomă bântuie prin Europa-fantoma comunismului.)-scriau Karl Marx şi Friedrich Engels în binecunoscutul "Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei". O fantomă bântuie prin Comoşteni (şi nu numai, Comoşteniul e doar un simbol) asupra fiecărui individ, dar şi asupra comunităţii, a întregii societăţi: fantoma comunismului (şi a ceea ce el a făcut din oameni). Aceeaşi stafie bântuie aşadar prin cartea Doinei Ruşti "Fantoma din moară", coagulând destine în jurul nimicului. În jurul nimicului sunt structurate societatea, comunitatea, personajele romanului. Stafia este tocmai simbolul golului cu care a operat comunismul, al golului pe care l-a lăsat în urmă. Pentru că Maxu a existat, desigur (ca personaj în roman, cel puţin), dar scrierea nu este construită în jurul plenitudinii fiinţei sale, ci în jurul stafiei-simbol al nimicului, al golului ontologic.

This thesis examines the careers of the early eighteenth century experimental lecturers
Francis Hauksbee, Sr. (c. 1666-1713), Francis Hauksbee, Jr. (1688-1763), William Whiston
(1667-1752), John Theophilus Desaguliers (1683-1744), and the lecturers of the Little Tower
Street Academy. These lecturers presented Boylean air pump experiments, demonstrations
of Newtonian mechanics and other replications of experiments. Using primarily a survey of
newspaper advertisements, along with course syllabi, the development of public courses of
"experimental philosophy" is tracked for the period 1705-1728. Along with a reconstruction
of lecturing patterns, this thesis concentrates on several comparative and analytic themes,
including the competitive strategies of the lecturers; issues of income potential and
patronage, and the social locations of public experimental activity. This thesis is a
contribution to research for this period on 1) the commercialization and popularization of
science, 2) scientific entrepreneurship, 3) scientific pedagogy and 4) scientific spectacle.

T wo recent events bookend my reflections on what is living and what is dead in John Burnham's How Superstition Won and Science Lost. The first, held in over a hundred cities around the world on 4 May 2019, is the third iteration of the March for Science. From New York to Xiamen, Buenos Aires to Hyderabad, what could attest more dramatically to the extended global urgency of Burnham's diagnoses? Had it not already been clear, in 1987, that science-as a process of reasoning empirically and naturalistically-had failed to take hold in societies as a common "way of life," then it is certainly all too evident in our "post-truth" age of alternative facts and climate change denial. 1 The March for Science can be seen as a worldwide regeneration of the moral imperative that drove Burnham's ideal of popularization, wherein civically oriented "men of science," filled with "evangelical fervor," sought to disseminate not only the products of their research but also the tools that would render each individual capable to make her own reasoned judgments (pp. 23-27, 247-252). The second event weighing on my thoughts brings us to one of the principal sites of my own research: Japan. On 24 April 2019 the Japanese Parliament passed a bill to compensate those remaining survivors-an estimated twenty-five thousand persons-who had been forcibly sterilized under its Eugenic Protection Law, abolished only in 1996. 2 If the March for Science ignites our evangelical fervor, then the legacy of the Eugenic Protection Law introduces challenges to it. As Michael Gordin underscores in his contribution to this Second Look section, the omission of eugenics from How Superstition Won was, however startling, deliberate. Eugenics campaigns often exemplified precisely those traits that Burnham praised as effectively combating superstition. Practicing scientists from Francis Galton to Alfred Ploetz, motivated by a strong ideal of the public good, presented systematic reasoning in lecture halls and learned journals that had yet to be fully conquered by advertising and consumerism. These campaigns, mobilizing conservatives and radicals alike, arguably represented some of the most "successful" Hansun Hsiung works at the intersection of global history, the history of science, and media history. His book manuscript "Learn Anything! Cheap Print and the Education of the Modern World," under review at Princeton University Press, examines the communication infrastructures that shaped the transit of knowledge between East Asia and Western Europe, circa 1750-1900. His new project, "From Electrotype to the Electric Image: The Dawn of Global Vision," unearths the prehistory of the unification and control of graphic content at a distance, through an examination of early image banks and picture telegraphy in the nineteenth century.

Розглянуто діяльність представників аматорської астрономії в Харкові у визначений період щодо організації загальнодоступних осередків непрофесійної науки, які спрямовували свою діяльність на поширення астрономічних знань. Метою роботи є узагальнення результатів комплексного історико-наукового дослідження розвитку аматорської астрономії в Харкові у 20-ті-30-ті роки ХХ ст. та участі її представників в астрономічних спостереженнях у Харківській астрономічній обсерваторії. З’ясовано передумови виникнення у Харкові об’єднань астрономів-аматорів, створення «Народної обсерваторії» та формування її інструментальної бази; наведено приклади участі та впливу університетських астрономів, переважно проф. М. П. Барабашова, в організації аматорського руху в першій столиці України. Конкретизовано персональний внесок харківських астрономів-аматорів, зокрема Л. Л. Андренка та В. В. Каргера, щодо популяризації астрономічної науки серед широких верств населення. Проаналізовано етапи розвитку аматорської астрономії в Харкові у визначений період, розглянуто організаційні форми, тематичну спрямованість та напрями діяльності аматорських астрономічних колективів у Харкові, зокрема: астрономічного гуртка при Всеукраїнському соціальному музеї імені Артема, Товариства друзів і аматорів астрономії, астрономічного гуртка при Харківській астрономічній обсерваторії та ін. Представлене дослідження є одним із важливих етапів на шляху до розкриття історії розвитку астрономії в Харкові періоду 1920–1930-х років, акцентуючи на проблематиці робіт, присвячених діяльності аматорів астрономії в контексті вивчення історії української астрономічної науки.  / The activity of representatives of amateur astronomy in Kharkiv during a certain period in organization of public centers of non-professional science, which directed their activity on dissemination of astronomical knowledge, is considered. The aim of the work is to generalize the results of complex historical and scientific research on the development of amateur astronomy in Kharkiv in the 1920s-1930s and the participation of its representatives in astronomical observations at the Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory. The preconditions for the emergence of amateur astronomers’ associations in Kharkiv, the creation of the «People’s Observatory» and the formation of its instrumental base were clarified; examples of participation and influence of university astronomers, mainly prof. Mykola Barabashov, in the organization of the amateur movement in the first capital of Ukraine were given. The personal contribution of Kharkiv amateur astronomers, in particular Leonid Andrenko and Volodymyr Karger in popularizing astronomical science among the general public has been specified. The stages of development of amateur astronomy in Kharkiv during a certain period were analyzed, organizational forms, thematic orientation and directions of activity of amateur astronomical groups in Kharkiv were considered, in particular: astronomical circle at the Artem All-Ukrainian Social Museum, the Society of Friends and Amateurs of Astronomy, astronomical circle at the Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory, etc. The presented study is one of the important stages on the way to revealing the history of the development of astronomy in Kharkiv in the 1920s and 1930s, the focus is on the problem of works, devoted to the activities of amateurs of astronomy in the context of studying the history of Ukrainian astronomical science.

En este artículo se ofrece una visión panorámica de los programas que existen en América Latina para formar comunicadores de la ciencia. Para este estudio se consideraron únicamente posgrados que se ofrecen regularmente. Se identificaron 22 programas con estas características concentrados en cinco países de los cuales el 65 % fueron creados en los últimos diez años. Se observa una gran diversidad en cuanto a requisitos de ingreso, objetivos, contenidos, enfoques, duración y requisitos de egreso. Todos coinciden en su esfuerzo por ofrecer contenidos específicos en el área de la comunicación de la ciencia. Abstract

Tra i primordi della fantascienza in Italia, il poemetto di Antonio Conti rappresenta il tentativo eccezionale di coniugare un'alta ambizione divulgativa ai temi più incisivi del libertinismo erudito, in un'epoca ancora refrattaria agli sviluppi meno convenzionali del libro pensiero.

The Rassegna Internazionale del film Scientifico-didattico (International Festival of Scientific and Educational Film [IFSEF]) was a pioneering science-based public event held at the University of Padova from 1956 to 1975 in collaboration with the Venice International Film Festival. The IFSEF is treated as a case of a multiform space to question the permeable boundaries between hard scientific content and its aesthetic dimension, educational role, and science communication activity. Through the notions of 'surplus of meaning', 'boundary object' and 'boundary space', which are concepts at the intersection of science and technology studies, film studies and media studies, the IFSEF emerges as a distinctive moment in the construction of science as a multiform object in society, thus providing an opportunity to analyse the management of the evolving boundaries between scientific expertise and science communication at the dawn of modern science communication practice. The main point that emerges from the analysis of the IFSEF is the idea that the identity, meanings, structures and logics that characterise the IFSEF in many ways reflect crucial issues at the heart of the historical evolution of the boundaries between science and society, between the scientific community and other social actors, and between scientific epistemologies and different views of science-related content, thus contributing to a redefinition of the roles and identities of the actors involved in the configuration of the festival.

The educated classes of the Italian peninsula developed an independent language from the thirteenth century, a scientific and technical language from about 1500, a single government and a national science policy after 1861. From the 1950s, they took part in efforts to create a European science policy. Some long-term relationships among science, culture, and society will be employed in the present chapter to introduce the reader to some turning points relevant to an understanding of the place and uses of modern science south of the Alps.

Italian science will be approached as a sort of “natural experiment”, enabling the historian to put to test some of the factors that intertwine with the development of science. The conclusions will focus on what will be presented as the long-term persistence of the attitude displayed by early modern virtuosi and Italian elites vis-à-vis the prince.  An attitude that managed to survive through the subsequent patterns of research institutions that were adopted. Combining, finally, with the pitfalls of an imagined national scientific community that continued to backfire.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) hatte im Jahre 1916 die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie veröffentlicht. Was nach Einsteins Publikation noch fehlte, waren Beweise der Richtigkeit der Theorie. Aus diesem Grunde hatte man auf eine totale Sonnenfinsternis gewartet, da nach Einsteins Theorie während der Bedeckung das Licht der dann sichtbaren, in der Nähe der Sonne stehenden Sterne durch deren Gravitation geringfügig abgelenkt würde. So stünde der Stern scheinbar an einer anderen Stelle als an der tatsächlich zu erwartenden Position. Eine Sonnenfinsternis würde am 21. August 1914 in Russland zu sehen sein.

When the world’s first planetariums opened in the mid-1920s in the Weimar Republic, people flocked to the institution to view the starry sky, to have it explained to them and to feel close to it. This starry sky, projected onto a dome by a projector, was seen as nature by the mostly urban planetarium audience, and the experiences under the dome as experiences of nature. The reason for this was the feelings that arose in the planetarium and were deliberately evoked by the staging of the shows. The impression of nature in the planetarium was the result of emotional work. Based on an analysis of multi-perspective sources (press reports, lecture manuscripts, advertising materials, planning and administrative documents, photographs, correspondence, etc.), this article shows: Feelings are not only the indicator that something is nature; feelings make nature. Nature was revealed in the planetarium as a co-production of people and machines, technology and narrative, emotion and cognition. I...

This global spread of science communication, its shapes and its meanings, has become a theme in science communication research in recent years. The proliferation of science communication activities and institutions across the globe, but also the differences and similarities between countries and regions in the organisation of these activities and institutions have become an object of specific interest in the worldwide science communication communities. A collection of country profiles and essays, Science Communication in the World (Schiele et al 2012), that grew out of the PCST conferences featured 31 contributors from six continents, presenting national overviews side-by-side. An edited volume on national and international surveys of public attitudes to science and technology (Bauer et al 2011) sketched a global view of patterns of scientific culture. In considering science communication comparatively across countries, we are helped by a large-scale assessment of science-in-society practices in Europe, the MASIS project which surveyed 37 countries. 2 When we examine the global spread of science communication we are looking in the first instance at its institutionalisation through the policies and programmes of national governments, national academies and research funders, professional networks, inter-The project's final report categorised national science communication cultures according to six parameters, as "consolidated", "developing" or "fragile". The parameters "collectively form a framework for analysing science communication culture" (Mejlgaard et al 2012: 67), which appears valid beyond Europe. These are restated here with slight modification: the degree of institutionalisation of the science communication infrastructure; the level of attention paid by the political system; the number and diversity of actors involved in science communication; the academic tradition for dissemination of research results; public attitudes towards science; the number and qualifications of science journalists. 2 The project web site, including all reports, is at www.masis.eu governmental organisations, higher education and research institutions, international charities, and commercial companies. In different contexts, the strength of the roles that these actors play and the relations between them can vary significantly. But the state, in its various guises, tends to be the main driver of the institutionalisation of science communication. In looking for markers of the institutionalisation of science communication in individual countries across the globe one of the first, if not the first, to observe is the presence of government programmes to boost science awareness. Other markers include the presence of: communication training for scientists; initiatives to support media attention to science; university taught programmes in science communication; university research in science communication. In the following sections we examine each of these briefly, with particular reference to their appearance in countries and regions outside western Europe and north America.

In a May 15, 1952 letter to Genia Goelz, a recent convert to Christianity, C. S. Lewis urges "If Hoyle answers your letter, then let the correspondence drop. He is not a great philosopher (and none of my scientific colleagues think much of him as a scientist)" (Letters 3: 192). Lewis goes on to explain that Hoyle "is strong enough to do some harm. You're not David and no one has told you to fight Goliath! You've only just enlisted. Don't go off challenging enemy champions" (Ibid.

Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird die Entwicklung der institutionellen Wissensvermittlung seit den 1960erJahren bis in die Gegenwart mit einem Fokus auf die Öffentliche Wissenschaft und die Wissenschaftskommunikation nachgezeichnet. Trotz des gemeinsamen Ursprungs in der Tradition der ‚Scientific Literacy' und der PUS-Initiative gibt es auch grundlegende Unterschiede zwischen der Öffentlichen Wissenschaft und der Wissenschaftskommunikation. Während Erstere sich an Wilhelm von Humboldts Bildungsideal orientiert und eine dialog-und prozessorientierte Kommunikation fördert, praktiziert Letztere vorwiegend eine PR-geleitete, legitimierende und vertrauensbildende Wissensvermittlung. Die mit dem Internet einhergehende Partizipationskultur führt tendenziell zu einer Konvergenz dieser zwei Wissensvermittlungstypen. Doch um den neuen und zukünftigen Herausforderungen der öffentlichen Wissenschaftskommunikation nachhaltig gewachsen zu sein, genügt die Nachahmung von Best Practice nicht. Die stete Entwicklung der Wissenschaft und der Gesellschaft erfordert die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Praxis der Öffentlichen Wissenschaft, um die Voraussetzungen für eine selbstreflexive, verantwortungsvolle und nachhaltige Wissensvermittlung zu garantieren .

Seeing the familiar poem The Nautilus and the Ammonite featured in a recent issue of the Geological Curator (Delair 1984) reawakened an idea which has Iain dormant for some time: that we should start a series on forgotten or neglected curators. In my view the single most important cause of the widespread neglect which geological and other natural science collections have suffered in Britain over the years can be put down to a lack of caring curators. Sometimes there was a lack of curators, othertimes they didn't care! The history of curation seems to be an even more neglected subject than the history of collections - a point I tried to make at the Ashmolean Tercentenary Symposium in Oxford in 1983 (Torrens 1985b). So while we try to document the collections perhaps we should also stop to consider the curators who *made it all possible*. This point was made specifically by Edwards (1984) about one of the most remarkable of such curators, ex-railway clerk Thomas Sheppard (1876-194...

This paper contains an overview of the programmes currently existing in Latin America to train science communicators. For such purpose, only postgraduate courses held regularly were considered in the study. Twenty-two programmes meeting such requirement were identified in five countries, 65% of which were in fact established over the past ten years. They present a lot of diversity in terms of admittance requirements, goals, contents, approaches, duration and graduation requirements. However, all of them share the same effort, aiming to offer specific contents in the area of science communication.

In this paper we inform about the partial solar eclipse we created artificially. It aims at inviting those who are interested in the study of solar eclipses to set up their own laboratory to artificially create and study solar eclipses at any time of the day and at any convenient spot on the earth. Anybody interested in the study of solar eclipses can setup his laboratory without much expenditure. What essentially required is a small piece of land exposed to sunlight to arrange the equipment and equipment consists of a telescope, some spherical objects of appropriate size, a mechanical arrangement to hold and move a chosen spherical object at hand, appropriate filters to protect eyes, and a good camera to take photographs of artificially eclipsed sun We report here about our initial efforts done regarding artificially creating solar eclipse of any kind. We provide towards the end of the paper two sample photographs of artificially created partial solar eclipse taken using orange fru...

Vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der Darstellung der Entwicklung von Popularkultur im Wien des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ausgehend von den politischen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen im Zuge der Wiener Stadterweiterungen wird ein Blick auf die vielschichtige Wiener Gesellschaft geworfen. Am Beispiel dreier ausgewählter V orstädte und V ororte soll das vielschichtige kulturelle und soziale Leben der Donaumetropole aufgezeigt werden. Geht man mit offenen Augen durch die Straßen der österreichischen Bundeshauptstadt, so erkennt man, dass gerade die ehemaligen Vorstädte und Vororte jene Plätze aufweisen, wo die soziale Schichtung der Gesellschaft verwischt und für kurze Momente aufgelöst scheint. Kulturelle Institutionen wie etwa das Vorstadttheater, öffentliche Vergnügungsorte im Grünen aber auch die unzähligen Gaststätten lassen Arbeiter und Angestellte, Fabrikanten und Gewerbetreibende, Verwaltungsbedienstete und Akademiker gleichermaßen die Sorgen des Arbeitsalltags vergessen und in unge...

L'astrophysicien canadien Hubert Reeves (avril 2011) considère Audouin Dollfus comme un des plus grands astronomes français contemporains. Il a notamment découvert Janus, satellite de Saturne, déterminé la composition du sol de Mars, détecté un résidu atmosphérique sur Mercure et contribué à choisir le terrain d'alunissage de la mission Apollo 11, qui permit à Neil Armstrong de poser le premier pied de l'homme sur la Lune. Ce fut également un aéronaute de haute volée puisqu'il détient toujours le record du monde du plus haut vol habité avec un ballon muni d'un télescope astronomique.

In this paper, we examine an intense period of collaboration at George Washington University. Our inquiry pivots on a collection of 53 letters and postcards in the Library of Congress (LoC) that Alpher received from Gamow during his absences from Washington DC. In order to set our examination of the letters in their historical context, we present brief biographies of Gamow and Alpher, summarise the state that nuclear astrophysics had already reached by 1945, and examine the initial impact of the αβγ paper. We conducted detailed analysis of twenty of the LoC letters which documents successive attempts by Alpher and Gamow to address the deficiencies in their model of primordial element building by neutron-capture in the big bang. We give a detailed account of the interactions between Gamow writing from Los Alamos, New Mexico, and his two co-workers Alpher and Robert Herman in Washington DC. The correspondence brings their enthusiasm and commitment to life as they react to the advances and setbacks they encountered. Our narrative illustrates the remarkable partnership that Gamow and Alpher shared, a this was, infused with friendship and therein scientific discovery.

Solar energy is the energy of the present and future. With the growing demand for power, it is likely that solar energy is going to be the only reliable energy source in the future. This adds to the collective responsibility of solar power plants to deliver power efficiently. As every method of energy conversion has its own limitations, so does this method exhibit its inefficiency to convert solar energy into electrical energy in the presence of cloud cover or in event of eclipses. This paper shall consider the effect of a solar eclipse on the power generation process of a solar power plant and propose a theory for the same. Initially, various types of eclipses shall be discussed for the need of acquaintance and understanding after which the effect of solar eclipse on the stability of the plant shall be understood. This work shall be restricted to qualitative analysis and shall intend to establish a theory of correlation between progression of eclipse and the stall and surge in power generation which shall then be linked to the stability of the power plant. As modern day technology can easily provide details of the next eclipse in line, necessary precautions and safety measures can surely be undertaken to avoid damage to power generation equipment. Towards the end, a procedure shall be proposed to validate the theory.

Durch die Vorstellung eines breiten Spektrums naturwissenschaftlicher Bilder, welche alle – mit wenigen Ausnahmen – aus Kontexten der künstlerisch-wissenschaftlichen Kooperation stammen, strebt die Dissertation an, Symptome, Faktoren, Ansprüche und Wirkungen einer sich im 19. Jahrhundert entfaltenden Ökologisierung zu skizzieren. Der Fokus richtet sich insbesondere auf den Beitrag von Tierillustrationen in Publikationen aus der Zeit der Popularisierung des Wissens zur Entwicklung hybrider Wissens- und Darstellungsformen, welche ökologische Ansichten und Phänomene einer Zusammengehörigkeit von Mensch und Tier hinsichtlich Verwandtschaft und Koexistenz ausdrücken. Exemplarisch dienen zu dieser Analyse die nach Vorlagen des Künstlers Robert Kretschmer in Rahmen der Zusammenarbeit mit dem Naturforscher Alfred Brehm entstandenen Holzstiche von Säugetieren und Vögeln in Illustrirtes Thierleben.

Economie is leuk, beweren steeds meer populariserende boeken. Deze wetenschap geeft een tegendraadse kijk op de meest uiteenlopende maatschappelijke verschijnselen. Het is de hoogste tijd dat filosofen economie niet langer meer als een armzalige wetenschap afschilderen, maar haar juist diepgaand analyseren. In het kielzog van de bestseller Freakonomics verschijnen regelmatig nieuwe populariserende boeken waarin de boodschap wordt verkondigd dat economie

DER URSPRUNG DER IDEE DER „COMMUNITY- ORIENTATION“
Der Ursprung der Begriffe „Community Orientation“ oder auch „Community-Education“ liegt in der angel- sächsischen raum- und kontextorientierten Bildung und ArbeiterInnenbildung sowie in der Tradition der „Uni- versity Extension“. (Goldmann: 1995). Jedoch sind die Ähnlichkeiten der Grundideen mit den vielleicht etwas idealtypisch überhöhten Grundideen historischer Volks- bildung, aber auch denen moderner, emanzipatorischer Erwachsenenbildung derart frappant, dass auch im Be- reich der Volkshochschulbewegung von einem Commu- nity-Bezug gesprochen werden kann; dies im Gegensatz zu und in Abgrenzung von arbeitsmarktorientierter Bil- dung, die von einer universellen Nützlichkeit ausgeht und die Probleme der Menschen und deren Handlungs- ermächtigung hinter behauptete, abstrakte und schein- bar für alle relevante Notwendigkeiten des Marktes und der Employability zurückstellt.
