N2 - Science and pop culture are two of the most powerful cultural institutions that we have created to understand, shape and envision our world. Pop culture – including (animated) film, comics and street art – is where collective science understandings are created. This is where our desires, fears and anxieties and about science and technology are reflected, experienced and, sometimes, generated. It is well-known that pop cultural stories and visual imaginaries about science influence our perception of science and our attitudes towards science. Therefore, it really matters to study the cultural meanings of science in pop cultural contexts, such as street art, to clarify how pop cultural narratives about science have affected the public discourse and understanding of science, and thus our science-society relationship.
