Acknowledgments
Producing any book is never the work of just one or even two people, but reflects the contributions of countless colleagues, friends, and supporters. We are grateful to have benefited from the support of the National Science Foundation, which provided the resources necessary to conduct the fieldwork that tested and refined the organic public engagement methodology.1 The editors and reviewers at Public Understanding of Science were also vital in developing the first iteration of the methodology. While this book is a dramatic expansion on that article and further improvement on the methodology, we also found a few small sections of that original essay were especially useful at key points in the book. A highly attentive reader familiar with the original article will find a duplicated sentence here or there, scattered throughout the book. We are grateful that the publication agreement with the journal and its publisher (SAGE) permitted such use. A number of colleagues were also essential
