Hopkins NanoBio Symposium 2009

The Symposium was amazing. The presentations covered findings in the use of nanotechnology to treat/cure everything from brain tumors to Parkinson's. The poster sessions had recaps of early research into technologies and uses of nano. I'll link to my report on the Hopkins website later next week.

Meanwhile, I just got the first issue of UniGalactic! Excellent issue, but now I have some more reading to do before the Space Foundation, Space Business Forum: New York. I'll be tweeting from there, too. I'll post the # as soon as I have it!

Hopkins NanoBio Symposium 2009

The 2009 Johns Hopkins NanoBio Symposium, NANOSCIENCE FOR NEUROSCIENCE & NEUROSURGERY, is this Monday. I'll be there and tweeting throughout the day at #NanoBio. Follow me for the latest on the presentations and poster sessions. I'll post a link to my full report later this week. Speakers will be from the Johns Hopkins schools of medicine and engineering.
