The latest edition of Science & Public Affairs, the free magazine of the BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) is now online, with articles looking at the future of British science, the White Paper on education and the government's strategy for sustainable development. In advance of July's G8 summit, S&PA also looks at the Commission for Africa's report, Our Common Future. This issue returns to the debate about how the public can take its place in the making of science policy, reporting on the DISC project (Delivering Inclusion in Science Communication) and comparing the success with which GM Nation? and the nanotechnology enquiry achieved successful public engagement.
