Nanotechology – my school break.

by Andrew Schneider on June 15, 2009

It’s Monday night and I’m in Cambridge, Mass.  MIT has graciously lowered its standards and is allowing me to participate in a week-long workshop on nanotechnology.

MIT NANOAnd, yes, for those of you who paid close attention, I did attend a conference on nanotechnology in food last week at the Institute of Food Technologists in California.

It’s not that I get off on attending classes and lectures on something I can barely spell, especially when I had to take a redeye to get here. I’m focusing on these sessions because, as I’ve written before, I passionately believe that the use of nanomaterial will have a significant impact on public health for years to come.

I need to understand it and I want to have it explained to me by experts with no agenda to hype or conceal the potential hazards from this world-changing technologies,

All of this leads to the one point I wanted to make: because I’m in class all day the postings this week  will be sparse.  I promise to make it up.
