Online Workshop Recording: Nano Brown-Bag: Nanotechnology and Pseudoscience

Online professional development workshop recording (2015).

DESCRIPTION

New science, like nano, can be misused, misconstrued, or co-opted by greed. This online brown-bag conversation, Nanotechnology and Pseudoscience, explores how to identify poor science and will examine how the word 'nanotechnology' has been used to sell a variety of products. We'll also finish this discussion with a fun "real science vs. pseudoscience" game!
