Here's his abstract: * * * Scientific advice on the possible health risk of mobile phones has embraced (or seems to be embracing) broader engagement with interested non-experts. This presentation explains the context of lost credibility that made such a development necessary, and the implications of greater engagement for the construction (and expert control) of "public concern". * * * * It would be useful to hear from you if you intend to come - please email me. All are welcome and please feel free to forward to any interested groups.
