Einsiedel (communication and culture, U. of Calgary, Canada) and Timmermans (a research assistant at the U. of Calgary) present 14 papers from a conference on biotechnology issues that was held in April 2003 and brought together participants from the fields of economics, law, communications, the sciences, and bioethics under the thematic rubric of cross-over. Allegorically referring to the way DNA crossover during meiosis leads to a richer gene pool, the theme was chosen to illustrate the way interdisciplinary and inter-issue discussion can enrich understandings. Broadly the papers address the economic and organizational underpinnings of biotechnology, interaction between policy communities and various publics, representations of biotechnology among publics and in the media, societal considerations that play important roles alongside the science, and future prospects of the technological landscape.
