Introduction

Introduction—Nanotechnology and the Public

Bruce V. Lewenstein

Cornell University

This article introduces the special issue of Science Communication on "nanotechnology and the public." It argues that studies of "nanotechnology and the public" are important not for themselves, but for their ability to shed light on more general social theories, especially those that help illuminate the interweaving of science and society.

Key Words: nanotechnology • public participation • public engagement • public understanding • framing • public opinion

Science Communication, Vol. 27, No. 2, 169-174 (2005)
