What do academics do, exactly? What are the tools of scientific research, and how do they differ from one field to another? And why does this matter? In a time of growing misinformation and scepticism towards specialist knowledge, making research practices more transparent is an important challenge for universities.This book is based on a dialogue between academics from the University of Groningen and a diverse group of talented visual artists. It features 14 comics focusing on the various ways in which researchers create knowledge – be it through lab experiments, ethnographic observations, archival research or citizen science.
