The Fleet Science Center again gets in on the action at the pop culture, science fiction and fantasy event of the year, Comic-Con International: San Diego 2023. The Fleet’s involvement with Comic-Con underscores its mission of connecting everyone to the power of science and meeting communities where they live, work and play. Fleet Panels Two thought-provoking Fleet panels dig into relevant societal topics. Ambassadors from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) IF/THEN Initiative, which includes participants in the Fleet’s New Science exhibition, will participate in the panels. Ms. Marvel and the Power of Representation explores how the television series, whose protagonist is a Muslim-American girl, makes strides toward changing worldviews. Panelists will discuss what it means for Muslim-American girls to see this representation, tapping into ideas of inclusion and intersectionality. In addition, panelists will delve into the specific realm of diversity and inclusion in STEM fields. The seven panelists bring expertise from the realms of data science and aerospace to biophysics and neuroscience—and insights from their lives seeking and finding representation. Thursday, July 20, 10:30 a.m., Room 29CD Dr. Evil, or Scientists as Villains in Pop Culture investigates why we find scientists portrayed as villains in popular culture. Panelists will shatter some stereotypes of the evil scientist and explain why this trope actually is much less likely in reality than in fiction. The expert panelists will discuss ethics, motivations, and what scientists really want us to understand about them and their work. The five panelists bring not only their expertise in STEM but also their extracurricular interests, demonstrating that scientists are people who want to make the world a better, more just place.
