- When I'm 124 Here's a strange interview with inventor extrodinaire Ray Kurzweil about the future of technology. He claims that in the future there will be little difference between a 30 year old and a 120 year old. Kurzweil himself is getting ready by taking a cocktail of 250 supplements to increase his lifespan. from : paulmiller 16th October 2004
- Small was beautiful Our little (sorry) event with the ICA on nanotechnology on Tuesday went really well. Especially interesting to hear the inside story from Tom Feilden of the Today Programme about the barrage of letters they got after he did his first piece on nano in 2003. These were mainly from scientists saying 'Don't talk about it!' in case it turns into another GM foods. from : paulmiller 25th November 2004
- Open Regulation Interesting bit in Technology Review about regulation of GM crops in New Zealand. Relevant for our nanotechnology project. from : paulmiller 24th January 2005
- Debating the public value of science Richard Jones, a nanoscientist at Sheffield University and author of Soft Machines, has blogged his thoughts on our new Public Value of Science pamphlet. from : paulmiller 12th September 2005
- Sauna trouble It's not uncommon for business men to drop into the big public saunas before meetings, but you'll also find some of Helsinki's poorest people there and every now and then, they'll get chatting. Roope describes the particular 'sauna chat' that follows strict rules, but it is independent of who you are. After all, when you're naked, there are few status symbols that money has anything to do with.Later on we met T, who was born and raised in New Delhi and moved to Espoo (the afluent Helsinki... from : paulmiller 17th December 2005
- Is nano the next GM? Nanotechnology - the ability to manipulate matter at the atomic scale - is the next big thing according to many in the worlds of science and technology. But it isn't without its sceptics, and some are predicting a similar kind of brouhaha to that which accompanied GM foods in the late 1990s in the UK.Demos and IEPPP at Lancaster University are working together on an ESRC funded project to examine the potential for developing 'upstream' public engagement in nanotech R&D. We've just written the... from : paulmiller 21st June 2004
- What one really said... Bit of follow-on coverage today for a piece in the Independent on Sunday by Prince Charles about nanotechnology. He basically says that he didn't say anything about grey goo and that he was misrepresented when the story broke last year. He then goes on to cite a retired engineering professor saying nanotech might be the next thalidomide... is it just me or has he just done the same thing again?You can find out about the Demos/Lancaster project on nanotechnology here. from : paulmiller 12th July 2004
