dc.description.abstractThis book explores how women scientists are portrayed in hit American TV comedies The Big Bang Theory, Never Have I Ever, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist using a science communication lens. The authors illuminate how comedy, especially irony and satire, communicate complex ideas about gender and science - both reflecting and challenging stereotypes about women in science. Perfect for fans of science, humor, media, and feminism, Women Scientists in American Television Comedy: Beakers, Big Bangs and Broken Hearts highlights the roles science communication, humor and pop culture play in shaping our understanding of women in STEM.en
