Like S.NET itself, the collection is heterogeneous: organized under the headings of Engagements, Regulatory Governance, Innovation, and Discourse, its sixteen chapters reflect a broad range of political, epistemological, and methodological standpoints. Thus, unlike many other conference publications, this one speaks to no single disciplinary audience. Researchers interested in emerging technologies will likely find at least one chapter that resonates with their own approach, plus a host of other perspectives, some of which may challenge their views about how and why such research should be undertaken in the first place. This plurality will be familiar to readers of NanoEthics, as will many of the collection's editors and contributors, roughly half of whom have also published in this journal. Much as these authors seek to infuse greater reflexivity into the process of technological development, juxtaposing their divergent standpoints may prompt readers to consider scholarly assumptions that they would otherwise take for granted. The collection's first section, Engagements, focuses on modes of promoting deliberation and reflexivity, Nanoethics

Quality of science journalism in the age of Artificial Intelligence explored with a mixed methodology

PloS one, Jun 18, 2024

However, changes in the media ecosystem and the science-media relationship are posing challenges to reliable news production. Additionally, recent developments such as ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) more generally, may have further consequences for the work of (science) journalists. Through a mixed-methodology, the quality of news reporting was studied within the context of AI. A content analysis of media output about AI (news articles published within the time frame 1 September 2022-28 February 2023) explored the adherence to quality indicators, while interviews shed light on journalism practices regarding quality reporting on and with AI. Perspectives from understudied areas in four European countries (Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) were included and compared. The findings show that AI received continuous media attention in the four countries. Furthermore, despite four different media landscapes, the reporting in the news articles adhered to the same quality criteria such as applying rigour, including sources of information, accessibility, and relevance. Thematic analysis of the interview findings revealed that impact of AI and ChatGPT on the journalism profession is still in its infancy. Expected benefits of AI related to helping with repetitive tasks (e.g. translations), and positively influencing journalistic principles of accessibility, engagement, and impact, while concerns showed fear for lower adherence to principles of rigour, integrity and transparency of sources of information. More generally, the interviewees expressed concerns about the state of science journalism, including a lack of funding influencing the quality of reporting. Journalists who were employed as staff as well as those who worked as freelancers put efforts in ensuring quality output, for example, via editorial oversight, discussions, or memberships of associations. Further research into the science-media relationship is recommended.

Perspectives from the Netherlands on women in science

Cultures of science, Apr 6, 2023

This paper presents and puts into perspective the country's latest figures for gender participation in science. It also discusses recent developments in the Netherlands regarding gender and diversity, particularly for women in science. Finally, the paper reflects on measures to increase women's participation in science in terms of both research and policy, and in relation to current Dutch developments in science communication.

Engaging children in science and technology via zabuki science cafés in the netherlands

Inspiring and cultivating science awareness in young audiences through dialogue and astronomy. Discussion of three experiences

Nowadays, science and technology and its applications impact our societies in various ways. Some ... more Nowadays, science and technology and its applications impact our societies in various ways. Some of these applications are easily accepted, while other applications are disputed or even rejected. At the same time, increasingly, it is expected that people are able to deliberate the consequences of applications when accepting or rejecting applications. Therefore, communication about science and technology and its applications with various stakeholders, such as citizens, consumers or children, is considered necessary. One way to better understand the complex processes of acceptance and rejection in the science-society relationship, is by stimulating and analysing interests of young people, our future scientific citizens, in science and technology. In this paper, we describe three different experiences on science outreach with children and young people. First, UNAWE is a project that aims to engage and inspire young children in the age group of 4 to 10 years old, especially the underprivileged by using astronomy as a tool. Second, experiences are described with astronomy popularization in Brazil. Videocasts and hands-on activities developed with children and teenagers in Sấo Paulo state in Brazil are given. Finally, experiences with children in Dutch Science Cafes, called Zabuki, are described. Learning from these experiences can enhance our understanding of the complex science-society relationship as well as the experiences can inspire our future scientific citizens (Millar & Osborne, 2000, Siune et al, 2009).
