Last September, I was a guest on a special hour-long SAGE Crossroads program that examined the risks and benefits of molecular manufacturing.
Now they're sponsoring another public forum concerning nanotechnology. It's a debate at the University of California, San Francisco, between George Khushf, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of South Carolina, and Christine Peterson, Vice President of Public Policy for the Foresight Institute. They're calling it "Nanotechnology - Past, Present & Future."
Here's what SAGE Crossroads says you can expect:
Nanotechnology is little-known to the general public, but in the science and policy community its promise is exciting. What are the promises and pitfalls of this new field? How is it going to help the field of medicine? What are the implications for our economy? Join us as leaders in the field discuss the very real hopes and concerns for nanotechnology applied to aging-related research.
This event is open to the public with free admission.
Thursday, April 21st
12:00 - 1:00 pm PST
If you're in the Bay Area and you catch the debate, please give us a report.
