As a Science & Technology Studies scholar and Technology Assessment practitioner, I mostly do qualitative research, including ethnography, qualitative interviews and discourse analysis. I refer to concepts such as epistemic cultures, scientific communities, technoscience, innovation regimes, risk cultures or risk governance. With my online-survey on Covid-19, I was interested in expert opinions from diverse disciplines and countries on side-effects, opportunities and potentials for preparedness pertaining to the current and future pandemics.
