How do scientists perceive the media coverage of synthetic biology (SB)? In this paper, we approach this question by studying a set of cartoons devoted to SB. Based on a categorization of the cartoons into five large thematic groups an international survey was carried out to assess the opinion of SB research groups on science communication with regard to the public image of their discipline. The 101 responses obtained indicate that in general, their perception of the communication is not negative, although many respondents raised concerns on the media's inclination to sensationalism and over-simplification. However, the results also suggest that (in the light of the unfortunate experiences with GMO communication) scientists should think twice before proposing metaphorical interpretations of their research.
科学家如何看待合成生物学（SB）的媒体报道？在本文中，我们通过研究一组关于合成生物学的漫画来探讨这个问题。基于将漫画分为五个大主题组的分类，我们进行了一项国际调查，以评估合成生物学研究团队对于其学科公众形象的科学传播方面的看法。所获得的101份回复表明，总体而言，他们对传播的看法并非负面，尽管许多受访者对媒体倾向于耸人听闻和过度简化表示担忧。然而，结果也表明（鉴于转基因生物传播方面的不幸经历）科学家在对其研究提出隐喻性解释之前应三思。
