“…The use of women in advertising is not surprising, as women models have historically been used to sell products to both women and men (Bower 2001). A recent study showed that when women were portrayed more often than men in the Spanish media they appeared as "decoration" (González et al 2017). The preference for women models was not true for Nature.…”

How men and women are portrayed in the media informs societal attitudes towards gender. Although this is true for all media, the scientific media has received little scrutiny, despite known gender biases inherent in scientific culture. We asked whether the top scientific journals, Nature and Science, represented men and women equally as authors, subjects, and objects in photographs. Overwhelmingly, women were underrepresented in these magazines, an effect that was apparent even in advertisements and stock photographs. Clearly, gender bias in science exists at many levels.

“…First, who becomes visible through social media is more diverse. For example, female scientists, who are still underrepresented in traditional news coverage (Chimba & Kitzinger, 2010;González, Mateu, Pons, & Domínguez, 2017), can use social media as a tool to gain visibility or for empowerment, as studies on protests of female scientists have shown (e. g., Brantner, Lobinger, & Stehling, 2019). Second, visibility on social media can also enhance the diversity of how scientists are represented.…”

Tension between visibility and invisibility: Science communication in new information environments

The visibility and invisibility of scientific knowledge, its creation, and of scientists are at the core of science communication research. Thus, prominent paradigms, such as the public understanding of science or public engagement with science and technology, have implications for the visibility of scientific knowledge in the scientific community and among the public. This article posits that visibility in science communication is achieved with the availability of scientific knowledge, the approval of its dissemination, and its accessibility to third parties. The public understanding of science and public engagement with science paradigms emphasize different aspects of visibility with the latter focusing on the visibility of the creation of scientific knowledge more than public understanding of science which focuses on the knowledge itself. The digital information environment has engendered new formats and possibilities for visibility but also new risks, thereby creating tensions in science communication.

“…Apesar de haver um maior número de mulheres no mundo científico, sua presença na mídia ainda é menor. Essa sub-representação contribui para a manutenção da desigualdade de gênero na ciência, valorizando ainda mais a predominância masculina nesse campo (GONZÁLEZ et. al., 2017).…”

O campo da ciência aos pouco vem sendo representado pelas mulheres. Apesar de historicamente ser um espaço composto por muitos homens, este cenário vem apresentando transformações ao lidar com as questões de gênero. Entendendo esse contexto de mudanças é que este estudo se enquadra, visando observar a participação de mulheres no desenvolvimento de patentes. Para isso, além de um referencial teórico sobre a temática, também foram observadas às patentes divulgadas no site da Agência de Inovação da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). Para a análise dos participantes das patentes foram consideradas apenas pessoas ligadas à UFSCar, desconsiderando a participação de pesquisadores de outras Instituições de Ensino Superior ou empresas e organizações. Os resultados e discussão evidenciam uma participação significativa de mulheres com as patentes, denotando sua representatividade na área científica.
