越来越多的科学家和政府决策者发现自己离开实验室和办公室隔间，与公众分享信息和决策。人类基因组计划（HGP）在很大程度上促进了大众媒体科学传播的发展。审视 20 世纪 70 年代初开始的人类基因组计划在美国的发展，有助于了解公众在过去 25 年中为何以及如何成为美国科学政策的主要参与者，特别是在人类遗传学研究的伦理、法律和社会影响方面。公众对技术的当务之急——所有科学事物都必须毫无疑问地追求的理念——提出了质疑，并开始意识到对研究经费的控制是参与科学进程的关键。
Increasingly scientists and governmental policymakers find themselves leaving their laboratories and office cubicles to share information and decision making with the general public. Contributing in large part to the development of science communication via the mass media has been the Human Genome Project (HGP). Examining the development of the HGP in the United States beginning with the early 1970s helps to establish why and how the general public has become a major player in science policy in the United States during the past quarter century, especially in regard to the ethical, legal, and social implications of research on human genetics. Calling into question the technological imperative-the idea that all things scientific must be pursued without question-the general public came to realize that exerting control over research funding is the key to participating in the scientific process.
