Research interests

Science is not value neutral, quite the contrary. We make value judgements about what is good or bad science. Because it costs money to carry out scientific research, we have to value it relative to other things we could be spending out money on. And most of our social decisions (such as decisions about health or the environment) occur at the intersection between science and social values. Fabien’s research focuses on:

  • The Ethics of Science Communication
  • Public understanding of Ethics and Economics
  • The Scope and Limits of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)
