As I mention in the June Nano Bite newsletter, lots of NISE Net partners are either planning nano-themed summer camps or using nano activities from the NanoDays kit or other sources in their camp programming.
I'll be posting examples all this week, here's one of an entirely nano summer camp program:
Smooth ice cream comes from really small, fine-grained crystals. So what happens if you cool ice cream so quickly that the crystals are nanosized? You get super-smooth nano ice cream!
I recently discovered (courtesy of Andrew Maynard's recent nanotechnology primer blog post) the Project for Emerging Nanotechnologies' NanoMetro map.
Robin Marks from the Exploratorium forwarded me an announcement for another post-doctoral position opening up with the Center for Nanotechnology in Society, this time at Arizona State University. They're looking for a coordinator for private sector outreach.
His birthday was Monday, and now it's Wednesday, but better late than never.
I've been paying more attention lately to bloggers and tweeters (twitterers?) writing and posting about nano topics. Here are a few that I've been enjoying:
The NISE Net team at the Museum of Science, Boston is preparing to submit our proposal to the National Science Foundation for another five years of funding, so blog posting will be light for the next few days. Here's a haiku from Eric Marshall that seemed appropriate:
Nano in all things
Probe the promise of what’s next
NISE Net permeates
The Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland is organizing an exhibit and festival "exploring nanotechnology and its implications for our future," and they're looking for ideas and proposals. They say they want proposals from "scientists, engineers, artists, designers, and creative thinkers," which sounds a lot like the NISE Net community to me.

Playing in unseen smallness
Can anyone hear?

Kim Duncan recently posted a nice adaptation of the Shrinking Robots! program for children's museum audiences.
