Mind the hack
Nature and Science, two of the world's biggest science journals, control their news coverage by giving sneak previews of research under embargo while limiting how scientists can interact with journalists.  The system, benefits, or hinders science communication?

Metaphors of DNA: a review of the popularisation processes
This article offers a 1953-present day review of the models that have popularised DNA, one of the fundamental molecules of biochemistry. DNA has become an iconic concept over the 20th century, overcoming the boundaries of science and spreading into literature, painting, sculpture or religion. This work analyses the reasons why DNA has penetrated society so effectively and examines some of the main metaphors used by the scientists and scientific popularisers. Furthermore, this article, taken from the author's PhD thesis, describes some recent popularisation models for this molecule.

Sida : éthique et investigation scientifique sur l’être humain
Roger Guedj, September 2007
The experimentation on human being of one or several therapeutic molecules discovered in laboratory, is necessary and important because it helps to find new treatments or new diagnostic methods. But, it presents serious ethical problems. In this article R. Guedj member of the “Comité consultatif de déontologie et d’éthique de l’IRD” analyses the example of the HIV infection. The article shows that these last 25 years of HIV infection, the research of new molecules has not always respected the ethical rules, even in the science communication field
