Participatory technology assessment and the democratic model of the public understanding of science

It seems that the general public is somewhat disillusioned with science and technology and is demanding greater participation in important decisions as to their application in everyday life. Ideals of equality between scientists and non-scientists and of informed public debate as the preconditions for forging socially sustainable public policies need to be translated into new processes of deliberative democracy.
