Laypeople's Views on the Narrative Identity and Societal Treatment of Genetically Modified People

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genome editing in human embryos could raise new ethical issues by changing future people's narrative and numerical identity. Most philosophers agree that some genetic modifications would have larger effects on identity than others, but they disagree on what criteria might explain these differences and have not supported their claims ...

“Yet the Problem Remains”: Why Genetic Determinism Still Haunts Biomedical Research

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After the horrors of the Holocaust and its connections to eugenics were revealed to the world, many post‐war population geneticists sought to establish rhetorical distance from the Nazi's state‐led campaigns, without abandoning their belief that actively shaping the population's genetics would produce a prosperous society.

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

The Last Course Revisited: Reflections on Policy, Praxis, and Protest

open access: yesCulture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article is a personal reflection on how SAFN addressed my academic identity crisis in the late 70s. The development of the anthropology of food and nutrition provided opportunities to refashion disciplinary praxis and to link the little and the large in interesting ways.
