“…Cette modeste représentation de la science dans les médias généralistes a persisté malgré un intérêt soutenu dans le monde de la recherche et dans les cercles politiques depuis les années 1980 pour alimenter la compréhension publique de la science (Durant et al, 1989;Bauer et al, 2007;Schiele et al, 2021). Ce décalage peut s'expliquer par le fait que « la couverture de la science suit les normes journalistiques » (Dunwoody, 2014, p. 32;voir aussi Schäfer, 2011, p. 403-404).…”

Background: Media representations of science have changed little over the past few decades, despite numerous calls for their enrichment. Analysis: The shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how the media represent science. This computational analysis of two large samples (news articles and Facebook posts) from French language news media in Canada describes and quantifies these changes. Conclusions and implications: Science has been more present in the media. It has generated more public interactions. It has become more associated with political regulation and more explicitly uncertain. Indeed, the authors measure a 20 to 25 percent shift on these variables.

“…Further, while a lot has already been published on scientific temper, including essays, book chapters, research articles (and even a dedicated Journal of Scientific Temper being operational in India since 2013), the scope of most of these outputs have been restricted to the history of science in India [Chakraborty, Raman & Thirumal, 2020;Mahanti, 2013], the role of science and technology in India's post-colonial development [Arnold, 2013;Mahanti, 2016], or critiques of how scientific temper has been inadequately or wrongly deployed in social arenas like policy [Udgaonkar, 1980;Seager, 2015], education [Sharma, Akhter & Mir, 2020;Kumar, 2022], and the larger scientific enterprise of India [Prasad, 1982;Chadha, 2005]. There has been some limited discussion on scientific temper within science communication research, but here too it has been restricted to short notes [Chakraborty, Raman & Thirumal, 2020;Raza, 2015], or brief case studies within global comparative studies [Finlay et al, 2021;Schiele, Gascoigne & Schiele, 2021]. We, therefore, observe that there is little discussion and contextualisation available -especially for international audiences -for situating scientific temper within the broader global spectrum of science communication models and frameworks.…”

Scientific temper: towards an alternate model of science-society relationships

Scientific temper, a mainstay in Indian science policies and science communication/education programmes, conceptualises citizens as scientifically conscious and powerful agents that approach societal issues with a rational and critical mind rather than taking refuge in religious, superstitious and pseudoscientific worldviews. Our essay provides a brief history of this term and compares it with existing science communication models to demonstrate how, despite sharing commonalities, it is distinct from models like deficit, dialogue, and participation. We elucidate how scientific temper fosters critical features like a process-oriented approach, reflexivity, democratisation of scientific expertise and being a potential tool for decolonisation. Lastly, we propose scientific temper as an alternate framework for democratising knowledge-making and -sharing, building an engaged deliberative citizenry, and studying science-society relationships overall.

[French]La représentation médiatique de la science a peu évolué au cours des dernières décennies, en dépit de nombreux appels pour l’enrichir. Le choc énorme causé par la pandémie de COVID-19 a modifié la représentation médiatique de la science. Notre analyse computationnelle de deux grands corpus (articles d’actualité et publications Facebook) provenant de médias d’information francophones du Canada caractérise et quantifie ces modifications. La science a été plus présente dans les médias. Elle a généré plus d’interactions du public. Elle a été plus associée à la régulation politique et plus explicitement incertaine. Nous mesurons un déplacement de 20 à 25 % sur ces variables.[English]Media representation of science has changed little in past decades, despite numerous calls to enrich it.
