More on Public Value and Science
by Jack Stilgoe
The good folk over at Involve (an organisation which has recently sprung from the loins of the Environment Council) have also commented on our science pamphlet. In particular, they support our idea of a broader social learning centre for understanding and discussing science and society. We called this a "commission for emerging technologies and society." Involve are running a fascinating thing called the Nanotechnology Engagement Group, a large step in the right direction for cementing public value in science. But where do we go once nano has blown over?
