See-through Science
Why public engagement needs to move upstream
Rebecca Willis, James Wilsdon
"Spurred on by high profile controversies over BSE, GM crops and now
nanotechnology, scientists have gradually started to involve the
public in their work. They looked first to education as the answer,
then to processes of dialogue and participation. But these efforts
have not yet proved sufficient.
In See-through Science, James Wilsdon and Rebecca Willis argue that
we are on the cusp of a new phase in debates over science and
society. Public engagement is about to move upstream."
