Currently coordinating 'Life Sciences in European Society', funded under the European Commission's 5th Framework Programme. This project involves researchers in 14 European countries, with associate teams in Canada and the US conducting a comparative investigation into the reception of modern biotechnologies in the public sphere. Time series data sources include public perceptions, elite media coverage and policy and regulatory activities (see www.lse.ac.uk/lses). My particular research interests are expert and lay representations of risk, societal impacts of genomics and science, technology and the public, as well as economic psychology, trust, attitudes and social representations.
