Science & Meaning: From 'Cultured Meat' to the March for Science with Dr Neil Stephens
In this episode we welcome Dr Neil Stephens, Associate Professor in Technology and Society at the University of Birmingham. Neil discusses his 15+ year study of ‘cultured meat’; the processes of its scientific and technological development, how religious authorities have been involved in these processes, and the broader epistemological, ontological and sociological implications of his research. We go on to discuss the March for Science, the value of borrowing concepts from different disciplines, and more broadly, what Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Science and Belief scholars can learn from one another.
