Our purpose in this paper is to put forward an argument about both the need and the value for understanding how the constructs of science identity and the nature of science (NOS) might intersect and intertwine and offer useful insights about science participation in times of crises. Based on our knowledge and understanding of these two research areas, we maintain that science identity research has not been fully engaged in understanding how perspectives on NOS might be intersecting with the questions of who can be (or not) a scientist and who is allowed (or not) in science. In this paper, we argue that the formation of a disrupting science identity that challenges existing constructed systems of power in science, requires robust understandings of NOS that place emphasis on the socially-produced narratives about science and scientists. In doing so, we engage with the following questions: (a) How have understandings of NOS contributed to conceptualizations of who can be a scientist and who is recognized as a scientist? (b) How have these conceptualizations contributed to producing exclusionary narratives and perpetuating inequalities in science? and, (c) How might an exploration of NOS through the lens of science identity be used to promote goals related to equity and social justice?

我们在本文中的目的是就理解科学身份的构建和科学的本质（NOS）如何交叉和交织并提供有关危机时期科学参与的有用见解的必要性和价值提出一个论点。基于我们对这两个研究领域的知识和理解，我们认为科学身份研究尚未充分参与理解关于 NOS 的观点如何与谁可以（或不是）科学家以及谁被允许的问题相交叉（与否）在科学中。在本文中，我们认为形成一种颠覆性的科学身份，挑战现有的科学权力体系，需要对 NOS 有深刻的理解，强调社会产生的关于科学和科学家的叙述。在这样做，我们涉及以下问题：（a）对 NOS 的理解如何有助于概念化谁可以成为科学家以及谁被认为是科学家？(b) 这些概念化是如何促成排他性叙述和使科学中的不平等长期存在的？(c) 从科学身份的角度对 NOS 的探索如何用于促进与公平和社会正义相关的目标？
