Rethinking science communication: reflections on what happens when science meets comic art

Jonsson, Anna LU and Grafström, Maria (2021) In Journal of Science Communication 20(2). p.1-16
Abstract
In this essay, we explore what happens when science meets comic art and how such meeting offers an opportunity to rethink science communication. We base our discussion on our own experience, as research scholars, of engaging in a collaboration with a comic artist. Three key reflections are developed: how comic art may help to (1) conceptualize ideas in an early research phase, (2) clarify the main argument by making the (un)written word visible; and (3) communicate science with an open end. These aspects contribute to an increased understanding of science communication in both research and society.
