Abstract
Our USU research team worked with the Cosplay for Science non-profit who are dedicated to reducing barriers to science and scientists through their events and initiatives. As a part of this collaboration, we observed how scientists interacted with comicon attendees at a pop-up museum booth. We are interested in finding out how scientists shift norms and assumptions about who participates in science. We collected one-on-one in-depth interview data from nine scientists from a variety of education and work fields who identify as female, non-binary or gender queer after their involvement with the pop-up museum booth. Our findings indicate that scientist use resources, technology and individualized interactions to connect with the public, generate relationships and share knowledge.
