Description

Contributor(s): Professor Emily Jackson | Scientists, policymakers and regulators agree that public engagement is necessary and valuable for building understanding of new scientific developments, promoting public trust in science, and deciding how best to regulate emerging technologies. In this talk, Professor Emily Jackson discusses her work with the design agency, The Liminal Space, on two public engagement projects – one on egg freezing in 2017, and more recently on the regulation of embryo models. How can we draw attention to possible futures that might lie ahead in innovative and creative ways and prompt public conversations about new technologies and their wider social and ethical implications?
