- Nanotechnology and You Nanotechnologies could revolutionise many aspects of everyday life, including the treatment of diseases and injuries, and how we produce our food and energy. But do people want these new technologies? What are the risks, and will they be dealt with properly?The BBSRC exhibit Nanotechnology and You explores some current nanotechnology research and highlights recent public dialogue activities that asked the public what they think about nanotechnology and its future applications.Nanotechnology... from : jackstilgoe 11th April 2006
- So it begins On Saturday, we managed to draw 13 people from East London, 3 from the Environment Agency, 2 scientists and one NGO representative away from their whale-watching to talk about the promise and peril of nanotech. It was the first day of a 3-stage People's Inquiry into nanotechnology and the environment. Seconds after pressing the start button, our People's Panel were asking important questions about the regulation and ownership of nanotechnologies.Over the next two sessions, the panel will... from : jackstilgoe 24th January 2006
- nanoscientists-meet-nanopublics Saturdays at the Natural History Museum are full of children and dinosaurs. But we found a way through to hold the first ever nanoscientists-meet-nanopublics workshop, as part of our work on public engagement with science. We had 12 members of the Great British Public and 12 extremely engaging nanoscientists - from PhDs to professors - talking about the possibilities and concerns of nano. The GBP had all been through focus groups that our colleagues at Lancaster ran earlier this year. Our... from : jackstilgoe 7th November 2005
- Upstream for nano is now Today, the government response to the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering report (July 2004) was announced in a low-key event at the Science Museum. (The exhibit there on nanotechnologies just launched; looks like fun.) The response mentions a few nanotechnology dialogue projects, one of which is the ESRC funded Demos/Lancaster project on Nanotechnology and Sustainability. We're working on a final report, but check out the See-through Science pamphlet that made a splash last fall.... from : mollywebb 25th February 2005
- Grey goo and all that See-through Science was covered quite a lot in Radio 4's Analysis last week about nanotechnology. You can read the transcript on the site soon.While we're on the subject of Radio 4, it's great that they put up MP3s of In Our Time so you can listen to the programmes when you want where you want. I wish they did it for all their factual programmes. from : paulmiller 4th January 2005
