The author discusses public engagement activities going on in the United States, and suggests key readings discussing the importance of public participation and deliberation in areas such as the governance of emerging technologies and environmental issues. </style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://2020science.org/</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
