Stories From The Nni

In this episode of Stories from the NNI, Lisa Friedersdorf, Director of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, speaks with Jamey Wetmore, Associate Professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and co-Director of the Center for Engagement and Training in Science and Society at Arizona State University, about the Nanotechnology Collaborative Infrastructure Southwest, NCI Southwest, and his work on the societal and ethical implications of nanotechnology.   The work on nanosilver mentioned in this episode is a part of an extensive body of research on the fate and transport of silver and other nanomaterials in the environment. These research findings have informed regulatory actions, such as EPA’s decision to approve registration of  a nanosilver product for specific textiles.  Link to recent EPA decision: https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0043-0013  If you would like to learn more about nanotechnology, go to nano.gov or email us at info@nnco.nano.gov. Closed capti
