I am an interdisciplinary Ph.D. candidate in Science and Society at UC-Santa Barbara.  I am exploring the role of metaphors in communication between biological science and society using three case studies.  Click here for a draft outline of my dissertation, which is tentatively entitled "Metaphors as Messengers: Contemporary Links between Biological Science and Society."
