Case studies by high-profile scholars in the fields of bioethics, medical journal editing, science journalism, philosophy of science, history of medicine, public health, and philosophy of religion illustrate positions and points of view and offer unique p

Abstract

Communicating Biological Sciences discusses the 'ethics' of science communication in light of recent developments in biotechnology and biomedicine. It focuses on the role of metaphors in the creation of visions and the framing of scientific advances, as well as their impact on patterns of public acceptance and rejection, trust and scepticism. Its rigorous investigation will appeal not only to science writers and scientists, but also to scholars of sociology, science and technology studies, media and journalism.

Abstract

Thorsten Fögen behandelt in dieser Studie vorrangig römische Fachtexte des ersten vor- und nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts und nähert sich der Frage nach dem Autorenbewußtsein und der Selbstdarstellung antiker Fachschriftsteller auf zwei Ebenen: Im ersten Teil liegt der Schwerpunkt auf einer synoptischen Diskussion antiker Zeugnisse zu den Charakteristika von Fachtexten und Fachsprachen. Dabei stehen sprachliche Mittel im engeren Sinne im Vordergrund, also lexikalische, morphologische und syntaktische, aber auch pragmatische Phänomene, die antike Autoren mit fachlichen Diskursen assoziieren. Im zweiten Teil folgen exemplarische Untersuchungen zu vier Fachtexten der frühen Kaiserzeit: Vitruvs „De architectura“, Columellas „De re rustica“, Plinius’ „Naturalis historia“ und Frontins „De aquaeductu urbis Romae“. Im Zentrum stehen die Formen der Selbstpräsentation der jeweiligen Verfasser gegenüber ihrem Lesepublikum und die dazu von ihnen verwendeten rhetorischen Strategien. Im einzelnen wird herausgearbeitet, wie sie sich von ihren Vorgängern abzusetzen versuchen und als Autorität inszenieren. In diesem Rahmen geht es nicht zuletzt um soziale und ethische Aspekte von Wissenschaft, wie z. B. Offenheit im Umgang mit Wissensbeständen, Erkenntnisfortschritt, den praktischen und politischen Nutzen von Fachwissen sowie den damit verbundenen materiellen Gewinn. Die Arbeit ist an der Schnittstelle von Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft, Wissenschaftsgeschichte und Kultursoziologie angesiedelt. Thorsten Fögen analysiert antike Fachtexte als Zeugnisse soziokultureller Strukturen und damit die politisch-ideologischen Implikationen von Fachschriftstellerei, die sich aus der von ihnen entworfenen Weltanschauung, ihrem Verhältnis zur Tradition und dem von ihnen vertretenen Wertesystem identifizieren lassen.

Abstract

What started out as a communications workshop tailored for undergraduate and graduate students in atmospheric science evolved into a book that will benefit scientists at any stage in their careers. Eloquent Science draws on Schultz’s experience as a journal editor and prolific writer, the insight of his colleagues, and the best advice from hundreds of sources. This must-have reference is loaded with tips for writing and reviewing scientific journal articles and creating and delivering scientific presentations, and features: Help for the entire writing process from planning to proofing, including dealing with writer’s block, creating effective figures, advice for non-native speakers of English, and an appendix of commonly misused scientific concepts; A peek behind the curtain into the operations of editorial boards and publishers of scientific journals—helpful whether writing your own review or responding to someone else’s; Guidance on getting your conference abstract accepted, making effective slides and poster presentations, and presenting with confidence; and sidebars written by experts on topics including citing others’ work, how to critique a scientific paper, answering questions at a conference, and communicating with the media. The result is the ultimate communications manual for undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in the atmospheric sciences and intersecting disciplines. Every student, teacher, and science department should have a copy.
