Are their fundamental differences between how industry and the science communication community carry out dialogue with the public. How do companies conceptualise, access and take account of lay knowledges? How can science communicators embrace a wider perspective so that industry is not seen as a separate entity in the debate?
Dr Kate Burningham the principal investigator from the ESRC funded ‘Using public environmental knowledge in industry’ will discuss her research and share experiences of how those working in the chemical industry conceptualise, access and take account of lay knowledge. Kate will be joined by Gill Samuels, Chair of the Biosciences Futures Forum who will highlight practical applications for the research and its implications for those working in industry.
