Nano.gov had a
webinar today to discuss the sites resources and how that site might be improved. The speakers included:
- Marlowe Epstein-Newman, National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO)
- Carl Batt, Cornell University
- Josh Chamot, National Science Foundation (NSF)
- Mary Ann Latko, American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)
- Nazhin Beiramee, OMNI Studios
Most of the webinar involved discussions about the use of nano.gov, what and how user use the site, and what people want from the site. It was interesting to see how everyone seems to be working this issue regardless of the content. The site is built using Drupal which is an open source content management platform. Anyway, the panelist described several sites of interest:
- nanooze.org is a nanotechnology website for kids.
- GoodNanoGuide is a website for scientists and engineers looking for info on the industrial hygiene of nanomaterials.
