As nanotechnology advances, many questions arise regarding putative effects of nascent nanomaterials on the environment and health. How do we make the right decisions in the face of these uncertainties? This conference focuses on cutting edge research in sustainable nanomaterials design, the latest developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and potential biological impacts of nanomaterials. SNNI faculty will also present their latest research advances in developing greener nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing processes.
We'd like to thank the Grassroots Learning Project and The Oregon Business Plan for interest in this conference. They recorded some of the presentations and interviewed several speakers, which can be found at http://podcast.oregonstate.edu/leadership/greenernano/
