In this collection, contributors analyze the depiction of
scientists in a wide range of films and television programs that
span across genres, including horror, science fiction, crime drama,
comedy, and children's media. Scientists in popular culture, they
argue, often embody the hopes and fears associated with real-life
science, which continue to be prevalent in both fictional and
non-fiction media. By becoming the "human face" of scientific
insight and innovation, the scientist in popular culture plays a
key role in encouraging public engagement with scientific ideas.
Scholars of media studies, popular culture, and health
communication will find this book particularly useful.
