Digitisation as a tool to promote transparency between collections: the case of the Baltic amber from the Königsberg collection at the Museum of Comp…
2019
A total of 383 Baltic amber samples, including 43 type specimens, held at the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University, for near a century were found to belong to the classic amber collection from the Albertus-Universität of Königsberg. This discovery was greatly facilitated by the public availability online of digital images produced during a four-year project that digitised the over 30,000 samples from the MCZ’s fossil insect collection. The amber samples were hand carried and reincorporated to the portion of the original Königsberg collection that was saved from World War II, held at the Geowissenschaftliches Museum from the Geowissenschaftliches Zentrum of the Georg-Augus…
Un modèle théorique pour éclairer des histoires d’engagement dans la vulgarisation
2017
International audience; En France, la vulgarisation est inscrite dans les missions des établissements publics scientifiques et techniques. Elle est également une mission du métier de chercheur. Et pourtant, certains vulgarisent et d'autres non. Pourquoi ? Quelles sont les raisons invoquées par les uns ou les autres ; quels sont les contextes, incitations, barrières, croyances ou histoires qui peuvent expliquer qu'un chercheur s'engage ou non dans la vulgarisation ? Nous nous intéressons particulièrement aux facteurs qui pourraient influencer l'engagement de doctorants dans cette pratique de communication. Pour cela, nous utilisons une théorie phare de la psychologie sociale : la théorie du …
Not All Academics Are Alike: First Validation of the Academics' Quality of Life at Work Scale (AQoLW)
2018
Background: Relating to the macro-level changes and the increasing complexity of the academic system, a growing number of studies began to investigate the perceived working context impact on well-being and job satisfaction of academics. A unique duality characterizes this context: academics cannot be longer defined as stress-free, but at the same time they are still satisfied and engaged in their work. There is a need to evaluate the academic environment not only in terms of stressor and strain, but also in terms of which experiences are sources of fulfillment. The study aimed to explore psychometric properties of a new instrument (AQoLW) for assessing context-specific features of the acade…
L’engagement des chercheurs dans la vulgarisation scientifique
2012
International audience; Quelle attitude ont les chercheurs vis-à-vis de la vulgarisation scientifique ? Voilà une question que tout médiateur scientifique est amené à se poser. Elle intéresse aussi les gouvernements et les grandes institutions scientifiques qui incitent les chercheurs à communiquer auprès du grand public et cherchent des solutions pour améliorer cette communication.Nous avons recherché des études et des enquêtes qui, depuis 1992, auraient proposé des diagnostics sur l’attitude, l’intérêt et surtout l’engagement des chercheurs dans cette pratique de vulgarisation. Notre propos s’articulera autour d’une étude clé, publiée en 2007 par Ellen Poliakoff et Thomas L Webb qui s’int…

The psychosocial vulnerability of individuals and communities (and vice versa) is determined by a complex network of circumstances that should be analysed from an intersectional and relational approach. The greater vulnerability affecting individuals and communities impairs their health literacy, access to healthcare and communication with health professionals, which impacts their decision-making process and their self-management of health abilities. The progress towards health equality requires an in-depth structural reform, policy-making and empowerment of these communities; besides, the training and information available for social and healthcare professionals are scarce and not systemat…
The triumph of partisanship: political scientists in the public debate about Catalonia's independence crisis (2010-2018)
2021
Participation in the public debate constitutes one of the most evident avenues for political scientists to demonstrate the social relevance of the discipline. This article focuses on two questions: the types of roles political scientists adopt in their public interventions and the potential tensions between their public engagement and the epistemic norms regulating academic and research activities. We investigate these questions in the context of very salient political debates, involving a high degree of political confrontation, where basic political beliefs, values, identities, and interests are at stake. Focusing on the case of the public debate surrounding the Catalan inde pendence crisi…
