the Program of Science, Technology and Society. His first book,<i>
Picturing Personhood: Brain Scans and Biomedical Identity</i> (2004)
is a rich contemporary history of the scientific construction of PET
scans and how their images travel. He is currently finishing a new
book,<i> Drugs for Life: Managing Health and Identity through Facts
and Pharmaceuticals</i> which explores the role of
pharmaceuticals in a shift in how we understand the body, from
inherently healthy to inherently disesased.</font></div>
