摘要

乌干达可能会举办世界上首次基因驱动蚊子控制疟疾的实地试验。全球北方的论述预先假定非洲公众能够获得基因驱动方面的信息，并准备好就其管理做出决定。我们探究了乌干达公众在获得这些信息方面的假设。我们发现，信息匮乏的同时，非专业公众对信息有着强烈的渴望。我们结合乌干达的信息基础设施和政治上对基因技术的敏感性来讨论这些发现。如果乌干达人要决定基因驱动，他们需要独立的科学信息作为参与的基础。

Talking About Gene Drive in Uganda: The Need for Science Communication to Underpin Engagement

Uganda may host the world’s first field trials of gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control. Global North discourses pre-suppose African publics have access to information about gene drive and are ready to make decisions about its governance. We explore assumptions about the availability of this information in Uganda. We find a paucity of information available combined with a strong desire for information from lay publics. We discuss these findings in the context of Ugandan information infrastructures and political sensitivities to genetic technologies. If Ugandans are to decide about gene drive, they need independent information about the science to underpin engagement.

期刊介绍： Science Communication is a prestigious journal that focuses on communication research. It is recognized globally for publishing top-quality manuscripts that demonstrate excellent theoretical frameworks and robust methodology. Our journal embraces a broad definition of science, encompassing not only the natural and physical sciences but also social science, technology, environment, engineering, and health. Regardless of the scientific area, effective communication is always the focal point of our investigations. Apart from theoretical and methodological rigor, we place great emphasis on the practical implications of scientific communication. Therefore, we expect all submitted manuscripts to address the real-world applications and significance of their research, alongside theoretical considerations. In summary, Science Communication is an internationally renowned journal dedicated to bridging the gap between science and society. By promoting effective communication in various scientific domains, we strive to engage readers with intriguing research that has tangible implications for the world around us.
