This is the front cover of a science comic some of my students have produced. A tale of Charlie Kuhn and Tommy Popper (philosophy of science scholars will get their ref...), students at Empirical College and their adventures in science, the media, religion and libel reform.

Developed as part of a practical group project challenge we set our Science Communication MSc students. We get them to work in groups of three or four to make something (and this really can be anything whatsoever) which reflects on some of the theoretical content they've studied in the first term. See the full set for more details/ examples.

See a shot of inside pages here and read some more notes and see the whole comic from them here.

Four scientists discuss their relationships to "the public". In the top right hand corner we have 1950, next to him is 1970, then the 1990s, finally 2010. We could see each scientist talking to the camera as if being individually interviewed for a news/ current affairs programme, but they could over-hear each other, and it eventually fractured into a debate across the generations (to much dispute and misunderstanding, as well as a bit of agreement). Go watch the video here.

Developed as part of a "group project" we set for the MSc I teach on. Put simply, they work in a group to make something (anything) which reflects on some of the theoretical content they've studied in term one. See the full set for more details/ examples.

Cider, or "Sci-der" produced by some of our MSc students. It's for a practical group work challenge we set every year - they have to work in groups or three or four to produce something (anything...) which reflects on some of the theoretical content of the first term (i.e. philosophies of science, sociology/ politics of science in society, media studies theory). You can see the full set here.

This year, one group played with the iconography of apples in relation to science, knowledge and technology, and made cider. Actual alcoholic cider. We drank some. It was good. Their examples of iconic apples included Eve in the Garden of Eden, Newton and Gravity, the Apple Press (as a symbol of industrialisation) and the Apple computer. I suppose they could have included the "alar apple" scare too (though that's not very well known in the UK, and I guess a bit old too). They even used an apple-ish aspect of technology to learn their craft of cider-making, in as much as they looked it up on the internet.

This year, some of my students decided to knit the history of genetics. I can actually retire now, can't I?

This was part of a project we challenge our MSc students. They are asked to make something (anything) which reflects on some of the theoretical content they've studied in term one. See the full set for more details/ examples.

This group wanted to play with connections between craft and science, especially the way in which knitting works incrementally. As they put it, in knitting you learn from your mistakes. Also, each stitch is a stepping stone to the next; in many respects any piece of knitting reflects its own history. They made a range of pieces reflecting moments of this history of genetics, such as Mendel's peas and Dolly the sheep, using yarn not only to produce the pieces but connect (sometimes tangle) them together. There are a few notes on this photo, or you can read more at their project's knit-blog (with more photos) genetiknits.wordpress.com.

A sort of mashup of the Large Hadron Collider and Cologne Cathedral. The students wanted to explore a point made by Alvin M. Weinberg in his 1961 Science article about "Big Science", where he likened large scientific projects to cathedrals. Full details in the notes for this picture.

It's part of the "group projects" activity we set our MSc students every year (see the full set for details/ more examples).

Students work one on one and in small groups with their professors in Hofstra University's Weed Hall Ultrasound Lab.

very smart idea , loved it =)

i myself have written few comments on a couple of them..

1 of them was;

"Profit oriented architectural practice will only lead to more social injustice in the urban fabric".
