炒作，或简化和耸人听闻的科学，在科学传播中似乎是不可避免的，从病毒式社交媒体账户和“突破”主题的新闻稿，到名人科学家的中介声明，都是例子。在科学传播中，炒作的负面影响是很常见的。问题是，炒作是否总是一种扭曲和谎言，或者它能被挽回吗？本文回顾了炒作对科学的贡献，特别是在鼓励科学和技术的反身性方面。我提出了炒作的三个观点，并邀请进一步讨论炒作在科学传播中的作用。
Hype, or simplified and sensationalised science, appears to be inescapable in science communication with examples extending from viral social media accounts and ‘breakthrough’-themed press releases, to the mediated claims of the celebrity scientist. In science communication, the negative effects of hype are familiar. The question is whether hype is always a distortion and a lie, or can it be redeemed? This essay reviews the contribution of hype to science, specifically in terms of encouraging reflexivity for science and technology. I present three perspectives on hype and invite further conversation on the role of hype in science communication.
