Science comics as tools for science education and communication: a brief, exploratory study
Abstract: Comics are a popular art form especially among children and as such provide a potential medium for science education and communication. In an attempt to present science comics in a museum exhibit I found many science themed comics and graphic books. Here I attempt to provide an overview of already available comics that communicate science, the genre of ‘science comics’. I also provide a quick literature review for evidence that comics can indeed be efficiently used for promoting scientific literacy via education and communication. I address the issue of lack of studies about science comics and their readers and suggest some possible reasons for this as well as some questions that could be addressed in future studies on the effect these comics may have on science communication.

Rotational Unit of Memory: A Novel Representation Unit for RNNs with Scalable Applications
TL;DR: This work derives a phase-coded representation of the memory state, Rotational Unit of Memory (RUM), that unifies the concepts of unitary learning and associative memory and shows experimentally that RNNs based on RUMs can solve basic sequential tasks such as memory copying and memory recall much better than LSTMs/GRUs.

AI writing bots are about to revolutionise science journalism: we must shape how this is done
TL;DR: Could the science beat be next in line for automation, potentially making many science reporters — and even editors — superfluous to science communication through digital press?

Student science publishing: an exploratory study of undergraduate science research journals and popular science magazines in the US and Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the exploratory results of an Internet search made for student science journals and magazines in the USA and Europe were reported and discussed their role in the communication of science and science education whilst acknowledging the current lack of academic studies about such publications.
