The public debates concerning genetic engineering (GE) involve many non-scientific issues. The ensuing complexity is one reason why biotechnologists are reluctant to become involved. By sharing our personal experiences in science communication and suggesting ways to de-problematize GE, we aim to inspire our colleagues to engage with the public.
公众对于基因工程(GE)的讨论涉及许多非科学问题。由此产生的复杂性是生物技术人员不愿意参与的原因之一。通过分享我们在科学传播方面的个人经验,并提出使基因工程问题非政治化的方法,我们旨在鼓励我们的同事与公众进行接触。
