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…
Antipredatory function of head shape for vipers and their mimics.
2011
Most research into the adaptive significance of warning signals has focused on the colouration and patterns of prey animals. However, behaviour, odour and body shape can also have signal functions and thereby reduce predators' willingness to attack defended prey. European vipers all have a distinctive triangular head shape; and they are all venomous. Several non-venomous snakes, including the subfamily Natricinae, commonly flatten their heads (also known as head triangulation) when disturbed. The adaptive significance of this potential behavioural mimicry has never been investigated. We experimentally tested if the triangular head shape typical of vipers offers protection against predation.…
El camí cap a la igualtat real. La presència de la dona en l'àmbit acadèmic
2012
La posició de la dona dins de l’àmbit científic ha evolucionat positivament de manera signifi cativa en els últims anys, especialment en l’última dècada amb l’aprovació de mesures per a aconseguir la igualtat efectiva entre dones i homes. No obstant això, tot i que el nombre de dones és cada vegada major en les universitats, és evident que falta molt de camí per recórrer.
Open Science in the digital era
2021
Advances in digital technologies have disrupted the established openness of the institution of open science in the digital era. They have introduced unprecedented possibilities and challenges to instantly, interactively, collaboratively, and responsibly perform science around the world. This doctoral dissertation is aimed at a philosophical, sociological, and economic conceptualization of the normative structure of open science in the digital era, as well as revealing its impact on the established governance of research and innovation at universities. I present a systematic literature review and two empirical studies on how new digital technologies and tools, together with new open physical…
