Science Comics
For some years now, the communication of scientific methods and findings to a broader public has also been taking new paths. This now includes media formats that had rarely dealt with scientific disciplines before. So-called science comics initially conveyed academic knowledge only to children and young people. Today, however, they are also established for an adult audience - not least due to sophisticated research and design of the picture-text narratives.
A science communication initiative of the Young Academy Fellows
The Young Academy Fellows of the 2020 cohort see the science comic format as an excellent opportunity to present themselves and their research topics to the public. In the course of the project, they reflect on the role of sequential art in representing, condensing and evaluating bodies of knowledge.
