I co-ordinate a team of social scientists, scientists, and engineers in science and technical communication. The project is called PCOST (Public Communication on Science and Technology). It is housed in the new Hunt Library at NCSU on the 5th floor. We are supported primarily through externally funded grants and participate in NCSU's STEM initiatives. I wrote the NNCO (National Nanotechnology Coordinating Office) White Paper on "Communicating Risk is the 21st Century" and co-hosted government bureaucrats at the Train-the-Trainer program hosted by the NNCO at the NSF in Arlington, VA. I wrote NANO-HYPE and publish regularly in public understanding of nanoscience and other fringe sciences including synthetic biology and climatic geo-engineering. Teach advanced persuasion and risk communication. Recently added hazard communication (natural events) to credentials and have signed onto a Meshnet project.I serve as a consultant and SGE for the Risk Communication Advisory Committee of the US FDA.I serve on the Board of Scientific Counselors, National Toxicology Program of the US NIEHS, NIH. I consult in public and media communication involving scientific, technology, and social media, esp. related to risk assessment and management under my startup, Center for Emerging Technologies, LLC.
