An Essay in which I Told You
Cover stories
Our statistical analysis of research publications in the prestigious scientific journals Nature, Science and Cell reveals that papers represented by an image on the journal’s cover gain many more citations in the academic literature than those papers in the same journals that are not represented on the cover. Meanwhile, the number of images used by high-prestige journals is much higher than that used by journals in general, which indicates both t…

Maternal feeding practices predict fruit and vegetable consumption in young children. Results of a 12-month longitudinal study
Maternal feeding practices, child eating behaviour and body mass index in preschool-aged children
Producing the Post-Fordist Public
The commercial exploitation of scientific knowledge and increased public participation in democratic decision-making about science and technology have emerged as the two central themes of contemporary science policy in Britain. We argue that the prominence of participatory discourse in contemporary science policy is primarily due to the close fit of this discourse with the post-Fordist and post-industrial economic strategy of the British state. P…
Pressure to eat and restriction are associated with child eating behaviours and maternal concern about child weight, but not child body mass index, in 2- to 4-year-old children
The Royal Society and the ‘brain drain’
Although concerns about the loss of British scientists to the USA and elsewhere grew slowly throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the Royal Society's 1963 report on the emigration of scientists sparked a very public debate about the ‘brain drain’. This paper concentrates on the Society's key role in creating focus and impetus for the debate through the report and questionnaire survey that informed it. In this engagement with social science resear…
The Evolution of ‘Public Understanding of Science’
This historical review surveys the evolution of the science–society relationship in post‐war Britain. It observes the transformation since the 1980s of the idea of ‘public understanding of science’, in which scientists and laypeople differ by virtue of the scientific knowledge they have, into the idea of ‘public engagement which science’, in which scientists, laypeople and policy makers negotiate policy for future science and technology. We surve…
The Anatomy of the Brain Drain Debate, 1950–1970s
This witness seminar on the brain drain debate 1950-70s was held on 23 May 2006 in the JZ Young Lecture Theatre, University College London. It was organised by the Department of Science & Technology Studies, UCL, as part of a research project on the Brain Drain debate funded by the ESRC. The witnesses included Prof Ron Bullough (formerly Atomic Energy Research Establishment Harwell and interviewer for British recruitment boards in North America);…
The intersection between systems theory and grounded theory
The aim of this paper is to outline how a theoretical intersection between systems theory and grounded theory could be articulated. The paper proceeds by marking that the important difference between systems theory and grounded theory is primarily reflected in the distinction between a revision of social theory on the one hand and the generation of theory for the social world on the other. It then explores figures of thought in philosophy that re…

The popularization and excommunication of Fred Hoyle's “life-from-space” theory
Fred Hoyle's life-from-space theory has been communicated by Hoyle and other commentators for nearly 50 years in a wide range of media, including science fiction and museums, as well as in the technical and popular press. This analysis uses Lewenstein's “web” model of science communication to demonstrate the connectedness of these media in a web within which life-from-space theory moves from niche to niche as different audiences become significan…
