David M. Berube is a professor of communication at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. His doctorate is from New York University and he has studied and taught communication and cognitive psychology and created the term SEIN (Social and Ethical Implications of Nanotechnology) in his book NanoHype.[1]

Education

New York University PhD. in Media and Culture 1990. He received an MA from Montclair State University in 1978 and a BA/BS from Seton Hall University in 1975.

Career

Since 2008, he directs a program titled the Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCOST).[2] PCOST has focused on consumer and public understanding of highly complicated science and engineering communication activities. He teaches limited graduate coursework (due to his grant responsibilities).

Prior to NCSU, he was a professor at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina and was a lecturer at Weber State University (UT), Trinity University (TX), and the University of Vermont.

He edited one of the most successful collegiate debate workbook companies in America and he is a coordinating editor with the Journal of Nanoparticle Research [4] where he supervises social science methodologies. He served on the US FDA Risk Communication Advisory Committee[5] and on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the National Toxicology Program.[6] These experiences and many others have provided him with a broad exposure and understanding of many subjects[7] and has made him the “outside-in” person who is recruited to deal with a host of interdisciplinary research activities.[8]

After coaching two national championships at the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence in 2004 & 2005[9] and promoted to full professor, he returned to studying science and technology communication and cognitive psychology.

In 1997, he wrote the famous "Berube 97" article on dehumanization that has been used by high school and collegiate debaters in almost every single debate thereafter. In 2006, he wrote Nanohype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz. Amherst, NY: Prometheus Press, 2005, 500 pp. and received over 30 published reviews,.[10][11][12][13][14][15] In 2015 he broadened his interests to include public understanding of synthetic biology[16] and became a research fellow with the Genetic Engineering and Society Center on the campus of North Carolina State. In 2021 he edited Pandemic Communication and Resiliency [17] for Springer/NATURE and in 2023 he wrote a sole author work: Pandemic Risk Management: Lessons from the Zika Virus.
