During my speaking tour in New Zealand, we had sizable audiences wherever we went. It seems there is a lot of interest there in responsible use of advanced nanotechnology. The photo above shows some of our attendees in Dunedin.
That's me talking with audience members after an evening's presentations were concluded.
On the South Island of New Zealand, I had the pleasure of being joined at my speaking events by Dr. Richard Blaikie of Canterbury University. He's a researcher doing work in nanoscale electronics.
In Christchurch, we had an especially big audience, as you can see.
Here is an amusing picture (unposed, by the way) of Richard and I discussing some weighty philosophical matters, with a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.
In Nelson, New Zealand, we had such a big turnout that the organizers had to shut the doors and put up a sign saying FULL HOUSE. Reportedly, they had another 30 people show up who were unable to be part of the audience.

Amazing accomplishment, Mike. Can you provide us with slides from your talks?

Yes, I will, but it might take me several days since I'm still traveling. Thanks for your interest!
