50 ordinary citizens gathered for the first Madison Nano Café and talked with Clark Miller [0] about issues raised by the application of advances in nanotechnology.

[1]

Café attendees learned more about nanotechnology and raised concerns that will continue to be discussed at future cafes:
- nanotechnology & health
- nanotechnology & the environment
- nanotechnology & daily products (food, cosmetics, etc.)
- nanotechnology & societal impacts
- nanotechnology & computers industry
- nanotechnology & international regulation

See the pictures [2] & a slideshow [3] of the event.
