note = "Funding Information: Indeed, an awful lot of energy and commitment has gone into trying to meet this challenge already. The very vision of anticipatory governance, as articulated through the work Arizona State University{\textquoteright}s Center for Nanotechnology in Society (CNS-ASU), which I directed and which was funded by the US National Science Foundation from 2005 to 2016, was to demonstrate how the capacities of engagement, anticipation, and integration and their ensembles can help societal alignment processes manage innovation responsibly (Barben et al. 2008).4 Like many of the references in Ribeiro et al., Guston (2014, 266) cites favorably the Collingridge dilemma. But then it emphasizes not some incisive solution to the dilemma, but rather an ongoing intellectual and pragmatic effort – the practice of building the three capacities – to perform this societal alignment. CNS-ASU engaged lay publics in future-oriented deliberations about emerging technologies through such activities as its National Citizens{\textquoteright} Technology Forum (e.g. Cobb 2011; Cobb and Gano 2012) and the Futurescape City Tours and other material deliberations (e.g. Altamirano-Allende and Selin 2016; Davies et al. 2012) to explore with publics options for responsible nanotechnology. As I have written (Guston 2014, 226), {\textquoteleft}This vision of governance is sympathetic to broader STS concerns that have emphasized the contextual nature of knowledge, democracy, the interactive nature of policy making, and, perhaps most importantly, the centrality of “uncertainty, doubt and indeterminacy to such processes”{\textquoteright} (citation omitted).5",
