Dry spells and global crop production
United Kingdom
The 1950s
Stunting, food security, markets and food policy in Rwanda
Findings suggest that agricultural policies may be subsidizing poor dietary behavior in that the aggregation of production encourages households to sell high quality nutritious food such as fruit and vegetables, for more voluminous amounts of nutritionally substandard goods, hence low dietary diversity. However, it is less clear if rural food markets are capable of supplying diverse and nutritious foods at affordable prices on a consistent basis,…
Mauna Kea
When Snow wrote delivered his lecture on ‘The Two Cultures’ in 1959, he considered this to be a phenomenon that had British, Western and global significance. This article looks at how Snow's ideas play out in the setting of Hawai'i from the early contact with Western navigators through to current disputes over the building of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea. ‘Mutual incomprehension’, identified by Snow as the chief characteristics…
Preaching to the converted? An analysis of the UK public for space exploration
This article presents the results of a survey carried out at two space outreach events in the UK aimed at characterising “the public for space exploration” and measuring public support for space exploration. Attitude towards space exploration and policy preferences were used as measures of public support. The sample involved 744 respondents and was mainly composed of adults between 25 and 45 years old, with men slightly over-represented compared …
Can Science Communication Workshops Train Scientists for Reflexive Public Engagement
The European Science Communication Network, between 2005 and 2008, created and delivered original communication training workshops to more than 170 researchers, primarily early-career scientists, to empower them to perform reflexive public engagement activities in various communication situations. The program designed 12 original teaching modules for science communication that not only delivered skills training, including writing for popular audi…
The Recovery Process Utilizing Erikson’s Stages of Human Development
Of current interest to the field are clinical frameworks that foster recovery. The authors offer a psycho-developmental model that parallels Erik Erikson's theory of human development, and theorize that the process of psychiatric recovery involves a psychic reworking of these fundamental steps. Understanding recovery in this context allows the client and the practitioner of psychiatric rehabilitation to design and implement a coherent treatment s…
Interactions with the Mass Media
Legal and judicial reform performance monitoring
Science-Media Interface
An international mail survey of 1,354 biomedical researchers in five countries has revealed that interaction with the media is widespread among this group and that this interaction is largely perceived in a positive light. Possible reasons are offered as to why the perception persists that the scientist-journalist relationship remains troubled, despite the apparent reality. This reality may have negative as well as positive implications; the pote…
What can we learn from 25 years of PUS survey research? Liberating and expanding the agenda
This paper reviews key issues of public understanding of science (PUS) research over the last quarter of a century. We show how the discussion has moved in relation to large-scale surveys of public perceptions by tracing developments through three paradigms: science literacy, public understanding of science and science and society. Naming matters here like elsewhere as a marker of "tribal identity." Each paradigm frames the problem differently, p…
Mixed Methods as Methodological Innovations
One of the most recent methodological innovations has been in the area of what is now referred to as Mixed Methodology (hereafter MM). The most serious and comprehensive volume in this area is probably, The Handbook of Mixed Methods in Social and Behavioral Research (Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2003). The Handbook is a sophisticated compilation of various authors who explore the many dimensions of this emerging field. It is not my intention to review t…

Ten reasons why C60 is such a good story
Portrait of Isabel Goldsmith
liberated from the polarized, dualistic conception of nature/technology. It is precisely this double bind, this persistent ambiguity emerging from our response to advanced imagery, that reinstates the urgency of developing a new kind of responsibility. Because of the various techniques and media used to produce them, the installation's components can trigger, at times, opposing responses to the same image, leading us to reflect on the myth of Per…
