 abstract = {Risk researchers have traditionally examined technologies that have become                stigmatized in the public realm. In this study, we examine a prior cognitive                phenomenon, which assumes that technologies are classified according to the                non-scientific taxonomies that individuals use to make sense of the world. We                describe the coarse taxonomies revealed during five focus groups involving expert                and non-expert participants. The study suggests that in discussions of salmon                genomics, participants consistently conflate genomic research with transgenic                applications. The authors discuss the implications of this phenomenon for public                policy.},
