The Choices and Challenges project was established in 1985. Since its inception, the project has encouraged the identification of the social and ethical dimensions of science and technology — and sought to engage community members as key participants in the public policy process.

Tapes and transcripts of previous forums are available — use them in your classroom or at a community event to jumpstart your own discussions.
