The power of humour to communicate and counter social conventions about science and gender!

Our brand-new paper examines how female scientists are portrayed through humour (and what kind of humour!) in two popular animated entertainment series for children — Spongebob Squarepants and Adventure Time — and how their portrayal reinforces or challenges gender stereotypes in cultural representations of science. You can read the paper online on the Frontiers website!

Congrats to ‘Science & Humour’ student Jade Soucy-Humphreys and CPAS PhD candidate Karina Judd!
