During the Cold War, scientific discoveries were adapted and critiqued in various forms of media across a divided Europe. Now, more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, Science on Screen and Paper explores the intersections between scientific research and media by drawing from media history, film studies, and the history of science. The contributions in this collected volume seek to embrace medial differences and focus on intersectional themes and strategies for the representation of science. From public relations material to educational and science films, from children's magazines to television broadcasts, the contributions aim to explore the diverse ways in which science is portrayed in media and the impact it has on society.
