Waldorf s comments indicate a misunderstanding of both the intent and content of our paper. Three confusions are serious enough to demand clarification. First, we did not “downgrade” the scientific status of sociobiology nor did we admit creationism into the domain of science. Most researchers of the evolutionary biology of social behavior accept the social, methodological, and philosophical ru...

This study analyzed cultural representations of gender conveyed through images offemale scientists andengineers in popularjilms from 1991 to 2001.

We aim to characterise the comparability of corpora, we address this issue in the trilingual context through the distinction of expert and non expert documents. We work separately with corpora composed of documents from the medical domain in three languages (French, Japanese and Russian) which present an important linguistic distance between them. In our approach, documents are characterised in...

In 2012, a pedagogic tool for monochromatic holography was realized for pedagogic and popular science purposes [Th. Voslion and A. Escarguel, Eur. J. Phys 33, 1803 (2012)]. Following its success, we decided to upgrade it to make larger colour holograms and new pedagogic experiments. The resulting kit includes all the necessary equipment to produce 4” x 5” colour holograms with a simple optical ...

By now thoughtful educators cannot have failed to at least glance at the headlines in popular science magazines proclaiming new scientific advances. They are aware ...
