Abstract
There are serious moves afoot to ensure that all science students take some course components which set their specialized discipline in a wider context. Considerable experience of doing this has already been accumulated for some student groups who have followed ‘Science, Technology and Society’ (STS) courses in universities and colleges. An account is given of a variety of approaches available under the STS umbrella. The particular attraction of one possibility, a study of the history of their subject, is considered for students of biology.
