Hi again Brilliant: I used them in the session that has just ended! To clarify – yes, I meant the word in the Demos-approved sense of the word, rather than anything else. Apologies for leaving it hanging. It’s interesting that there are only a few examples; it’s also interesting that the term “upstream” has not penetrated as far into the collective science communication unconscious as I thought it might have. So many thanks to everyone who responded, even if the response was “You what?”. And for completeness, in addition to the messages in this thread, a couple of people got back to me on twitter: Patrick Middleton from BBSRC pointed me to their 2010 consultation on Synthetic Biology http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/engagement/dialogue/activities/synthetic-biology/dialogue-background/ Emily Dawson introduced me to the SNEHA Dekha Undekha project in Mumbai http://www.snehamumbai.org/documents/Publications/26/Dekha_Undekha_BookReport.pdfAnd Alice Taylor Gee suggested NERC’s recent geoengineering dialogue exercise http://www.nerc.ac.uk/about/whatwedo/engage/engagement/geoengineering/geoengineering-dialogue-final-report/ I look forward to discussing this with some of you next week at the Sci Comm conference in Manchester!
