“Television and the Genetic Imaginary will be useful for science humanities scholars and students interested in understanding the importance and breadth of television’s influence over the public understanding of genetics and science more broadly and it makes a valuable contribution to the growing scholarship at the intersection of science and entertainment media.” (Amy C Chambers, Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 18 (1), 2023)“Reading the book Television and the Genetic Imaginary was a great pleasure because it is well-written, concise and informative. … a must-read for anyone interested in the public understanding of genetics, as it provides a nice overview of the genetic imaginary in television.” (New Genetics and Society, April 21, 2020)
