Public Engagement with Nanotechnology - 2020 Science
(By Dave Guston) A guest blog by David H. Guston, Director of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University.
The President’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology (PCAST) has recently put the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) through its biennial paces. Launched in 2000 by President Clinton, authorized in 2003 by the 21st Century Nanotechnology R&D Act, and reviewed in 2005 and 2008 by PCAST (yes, an odd vision of “biennial”), the NNI is now a decade old. For better and for ill, it is starting to show its age.
