Grazie per l'attenzione, Francesca Musiani --------- Innovating the Future: Critical Perspectives in Science & Technology 2010 ST Global Call for Abstracts AAAS and the student organizing committee for the 10th Annual Conference of Science & Technology in Society are pleased to join forces with National Academies' Annual Forum for Graduate Students in Science, Technology, and Health Policy. The newly merged conference has been extended to 2 1/2 days, and will continue to provide a professional and interactive venue for all graduate students from Science & Technology Policy (STP), Science & Technology Studies (STS), and related fields including, but not limited to, health, energy and environment, space, information and communications, innovation, education, and ethical, legal and social implications of science and technology.
