Dear Matt,
I'd be very interested in your results, so please add me to any list if you
are keeping contacts of interested people.
The area I used to be involved in was more about stereotypes in science.
Have a look at the book by Roslynn D. Haynes, 'From Faust to Strangelove.
Representations of the Scientist in Western Literature'. And you may like to
look at my shot at breaking the stereotypes down at

Climate change (my area these days) and science fiction is covered in
session D2 at the conference online at
http://geognt.uwaterloo.ca/c3confer/conference_proceedings.htm
There may also be interest in your work at the Centre for Understanding Risk
at UEA:

Good luck, Simon.

Subject: Science fiction/Science communication
Hello all,
First of all, sorry for any cross posting.
I am currently working on my masters dissertation on what effect popular
science fiction has had on the general public's understanding of science and
technology. With this in mind I am interested in if anyone knows about past
work in the subject area or in general comments/views from the group on the
topic. Any and all leads gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Matt......
