Hi, I am looking for further readings on Public Understanding of Science (PUS). There are two models related to PUS; Deficit Model and Contextual Model. I am interested to read on both. I have searched about these two models, but I am still not clear about PUS theory.
Just to add to Harshvardhan Singh's comment: the current issue of Public Understanding of Science ( http://pus.sagepub.com/content/current - May 2016 issue) focuses on the deficit model with some great essays.
Furthermore, this article provides good insights: Nisbet, M. C., Scheufele, D. (2009). What's next for science communication? Promising directions and lingering distractions. American Journal of Botany 96(10):1767-78.

Another add to Harshvardhan Singh's comment: You should definitely read Brian Wynne's "Public Understanding of Science", [in:] "Handbook of Science and Technology Studies" (eds. E.J. Hackett, O. Amsterdamska, M. Lynch, J. Wajcman), MIT Press 2007, pp. 361-384
Thank you so much everyone for your generous help.
