Science on American Television
A Survey of Science Content in U.S. Television Broadcasting, 1940s through 1950s
On U.S. network television in the 1940s and 1950s, pioneering broadcasters such as Roy K. Marshall, Lynn Poole, and Don Herbert demonstrated that serious science programs could also be entertaining. Developers of early science series embraced television's ability to dramatize. They also mixed facts and fictions, combining real film footage of scientists with scientific explanations from animated cartoon characters, as in the specials underwritten…
A Survey of Science Content in U.S. Radio Broadcasting, 1920s through 1940s
During the formative years of radio broadcasting in the United States, information about science and medicine was initially packaged in formats common to educational settings, such as talks by individual scientists. Broadcasters eventually developed more appealing presentation approaches, adapting to the American listeners'expressed preference for drama and fast-paced entertainment, although the scientific community often hesitated to participate…
The Transforming Political Landscape for Science Communication
In an overview of a special issue celebrating Science Communication's twentieth year, the editor describes themes common to all the essays and outlines a research agenda flowing from them. The essay suggests how social science research might assist in understanding the changing political environment for science communication efforts
Commentary
Those who wish to become informed about cyberspace policy can quickly find themselves drowning in a deluge of papers, positions, and proposals.

The Exploratorium
How Superstition Won and Science Lost
Eyes on the Stars
Studies of U.S. schoolchildren, from the 1950s through the 1980s, show that both boys and girls see the typical scientist as male.l Some of these attitudes simply reflect statistical reality-far fewer women than men work as scientists2-but they also indicate continuing, deep-seated cultural bias against science as an activity appropriate women. It is not just that science is regarded as a masculine occupation. Historical analysis of American popu…
