Richard Doyle is an Associate Professor of Rhetoric in the Department of English at Penn State University. He received his Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley in 1993, and is the author of two books of interdisciplinary scholarship on science and technology. His first book, On Beyond Living: Rhetorical Transformations of the Life Sciences (Stanford, 1997) analyzes the complex interplay between language and scientific innovation, arguing that creative transformations of scientific language have been crucial to the rise, success and impacts of molecular biology in the 20th century. His second book, Wetwares: Experiments in Post Vital Living ( Minnesota, forthcoming) researches the effects and promises of contemporary biotechnology on our practices of pleasure, identity and embodiement. Doyle has recently completed a novel on the work of science fiction author Philip K. Dick, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, and is currently researching a new book on the history of ecstatic practices and their role in the technical and biological evolution of human beings, Mitochondriac!
