Representations of Refuseniks and Soviet Jewish Emigration in GLOW
Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch's Netflix series, GLOW (2017–), reimagines the production of GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (1986–1989), the first US professional wrestling show with an all-female cast. The Netflix series can be understood as historiographic metafiction: a reimagining of the past that captures a new perspective enlightened by hindsight. In season 1, episode 6, "This Is One of Those Moments," Ruth Wilder (played by Alison Brie) u…
Mauna Kea
When Snow wrote delivered his lecture on ‘The Two Cultures’ in 1959, he considered this to be a phenomenon that had British, Western and global significance. This article looks at how Snow's ideas play out in the setting of Hawai'i from the early contact with Western navigators through to current disputes over the building of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea. ‘Mutual incomprehension’, identified by Snow as the chief characteristics…

Using Mixed Methods to Design a Web-based Behavioural Intervention to Reduce Transmission of Colds and Flu
This mixed methods study informed the development of our web-based intervention to reduce the risk of transmission of respiratory infections. Two qualitative studies examined 28 users' responses to website materials, and elicited additional beliefs. A questionnaire study ( N = 129) tested key intervention assumptions: that hand-washing is considered the most feasible preventive behaviour; behavioural determinants were related to behavioural inten…
Can Science Communication Workshops Train Scientists for Reflexive Public Engagement
The European Science Communication Network, between 2005 and 2008, created and delivered original communication training workshops to more than 170 researchers, primarily early-career scientists, to empower them to perform reflexive public engagement activities in various communication situations. The program designed 12 original teaching modules for science communication that not only delivered skills training, including writing for popular audi…
Science-Media Interface
An international mail survey of 1,354 biomedical researchers in five countries has revealed that interaction with the media is widespread among this group and that this interaction is largely perceived in a positive light. Possible reasons are offered as to why the perception persists that the scientist-journalist relationship remains troubled, despite the apparent reality. This reality may have negative as well as positive implications; the pote…
What can we learn from 25 years of PUS survey research? Liberating and expanding the agenda
This paper reviews key issues of public understanding of science (PUS) research over the last quarter of a century. We show how the discussion has moved in relation to large-scale surveys of public perceptions by tracing developments through three paradigms: science literacy, public understanding of science and science and society. Naming matters here like elsewhere as a marker of "tribal identity." Each paradigm frames the problem differently, p…

The Dilemma of Mental Health Paraprofessionals at Home
The use of community member paraprofessionals in the delivery of mental health services is complicated by the changing nature of the paraprofessional's social relationships within the community. We use an anthropological model of Coast Salish social organization and data from a current delivery system, the Swinomish (Washington) Tribal Mental Health Project, to suggest ways to conceptualize and account for such complications
Wrinkles, ripples and fireballs
Deaccessioning
Currently, Thailand's energy consumption is increasing rapidly due to its economic expansion. The main source of energy production is still petroleum, accounting for 54% of all energy produced. Considering only electricity, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is able to generate 44% of the demand, which is increasing every year. Ocean waves are an interesting source of alternative energy because ocean wave energy can produce e…
An Ethnographic View
Life history data from Coast Salish tribes of Washington state reveal that federal War on Poverty programs produced important results that routine analysis has failed to uncover. The Comprehensive Training and Employment Act and the Indian Community Action Project provided income that enabled family networks to serve as centers of moral and financial support for members engaged in therapeutic work and provided training opportunities for a generat…
