It focuses on the role of metaphors in the creation of visions and the framing of scientific advances, as well as their impact on patterns of public acceptance and rejection, trust and scepticism. Its rigorous investigation will appeal not only to science writers and scientists, but also to scholars of sociology, science and technology studies, media and journalism. 606 $aScience news$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aCommunication in science 606 $aMetaphor 615 0$aScience news$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aCommunication in science. 615 0$aMetaphor. 676 $a306.4/5 676 $a570.14 701 $aNerlich$b Brigitte$f1956-$0157018 701 $aElliott$b Richard$f1982-$01552625 701 $aLarson$b Brendon$01470820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777907303321 996 $aCommunicating biological sciences$93812659 997 $aUNINA
