Dorothy Wolfers Nelkin ((1933-07-30)July 30, 1933 – (2003-05-28)May 28, 2003) was an American sociologist of science most noted for her work researching and chronicling interplay between science, technology and the general public.[1] Her work often highlighted the ramifications of unchecked scientific advances and potential threats to privacy and civil liberties.[2][3] She was the author or co-author of 26 books,[4] including Selling Science: How the Press Covers Science and Technology, The Molecular Gaze: Art in the Genetic Age, and Body Bazaar: The Market for Human Tissue in the Biotechnology Age.[1]
Nelkin served on governmental and other advisory boards such as the National Center for Science Education,[5] the United States Human Genome Project,[1] and the Society for Social Studies of Science.[4] Nelkin also wrote about creation science and, in 1981, testified for the plaintiffs in McLean v. Arkansas.[6] Nelkin often addressed the legal community, political leaders, and the general public on issues concerning science studies, bioethics, and the public assessment of science and technology.[4]
