"The Global Aspects of Nano and Biotechnology: The Impact of Science on Society" Theme of NABIS - Nano and Bio in Society Conference, August 9-10, 2006, at Chicago's McCormick Place Chicago Ridge, IL | Posted on July 19, 2006 The second NABIS Conference, or the Nano and Bio in Society Conference, will be held August 9-10, 2006, at Chicago's McCormick Place. "The Global Aspects of Nano and Biotechnology: The Impact of Science on Society" is the theme of the conference, and the mission is to bring together top-level, international scientists, social scientists, attorneys, journalists, and other interested parties to discuss the societal impacts of these emerging technologies.
Both nanotechnology and biotechnology are growth industries with vast potential, and the lines between them are blurring. Scientists in these fields are, in many ways, the stewards of society's future. It is through their research, discoveries, and imagination that society is moving forward into new medical, biological, and technical frontiers. But society is providing the means for such research, and, thus, society has a right to ask how scientific discoveries will affect its future or improve the quality of life. By exploring the global impact of nano and biotechnology on society, the multiple roles of scientists will be explored - as philosophers, as entrepreneurs, and as the stewards of our future. Scientists from around the world and from a wide variety of industries will discuss their research and how its applications will impact society - regionally and globally. http://www.nanotech-now.com/news.cgi?story_id=16443 http://www.arizonabiotech.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biotech-news/ http://www.arizonaentrepreneurs.com/ http://www.azhttp.com/ Yahoo!
