Last week I went with my children to the cinema to see a children's film in which some monster players, representing a typical mad scientist, pronounced in an action scene the exclamation " by Hawking's chair! " in another of those winks that animators often have to adults in his films lately. Logically, the phrase went unnoticed for my children but after the movie tried to tell at least that was the joke and who was the protagonist. When I explained to Stephen Hawking who was remained as if they had mentioned the X-ray diffraction of DNA. British physicist trying to relate to something that was familiar to them suddenly remembered ... the Simpsons!, Indeed, Hawking appears in a couple of chapters of the yellow family, the kids automatically recognized the character I made a comment about his life and profession. Serve
anecdote to note the great importance can have among young people in particular film and audiovisual media in general when to familiarize them with something 
Science or scientists, at least indirectly. Hawking was not the only scientist who has gone through the Simpsons and that in their series also left other scientists, as the paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and Nobel Laureate Dudley Herschbach Chemistry . The interest of the writers of the TV series by science (in fact two of them are mathematical and one physical, the three trained at Harvard) is illustrated by the fact that in 2007 the prestigious scientific journal Nature came to publish an article with scientists 10 times The Simpsons (translated into English here) that I recommend.
More famous soap operas that have made cameos these and other scientists (Hawking himself also appears in Futurama and Family Guy ). is another way to familiarize the public with the scientists, probably unorthodox and effective but will never agree with me more these apparitions provided they do not convey an image too distorted (or freaky would say one of our young ), which not forget that on the other hand has been very common in film and television.
In line with the above mention that it fits in the English television program currently El Hormiguero chain Four has a section where scientific experiments are striking, we can say that are more spectacular than teaching, but make so many boys and girls feel every night in front of the TV to watch and marvel at the Flipy experiments . It also contributes to the interest every week for the scientific and methodical treatment of the fictional book Gil Grissom, the star of the TV series CSI .
who
Film is perhaps a more faithful even sparing has portrayed scientists, often highlighting aspects biographical scientists towards the public interest. classic films as The Story of Louis Pasteur (1935), Edison, the man (1940) or Madame Curie (1943)
have given way to new films like Galileo (1975), Gorillas in fog (1988) which portrays the life of slain zoologist Dian Fossey ; The merits of Madame Curie (1997), that playfully portrays the relationship between spouses Curie and the head of his laboratory 
; A Beautiful Mind (2001) which focuses on the facet schizophrenic mathematician John Forbes Nash and already mentioned in another post on this blog on Charles Darwin.
The writers want more dramatic and sensational side of life scientists before the nature of their work or their research, however worthwhile to see them to enter in a subtle way in the exciting world of scientific research.
