  • Suds & Science: Nanotechnology In Our World
    Sometimes, the most interesting discussions occur over a beer or a glass of your favorite vino. That’s the concept behind Suds & Science, a monthly event that brings scientists face-to-face with the general public in a neighborhood bar. We invite you to sit back, sip your favorite beverage and participate in the discussion. October Topic: Nanotechnology in our World What do the waterproof fabric Gore-Tex and the latest coronavirus vaccines have in common? They are both made using nanotechnology. An increasing number of the products we encounter in our daily lives contain nanometer-scale objects that enable their function, and even many “conventional” products are now made using nanotechnology. What is it about a nanomaterial that makes it different? Providing examples from the fields of medicine, consumer products, and environmental safety, Professor Sailor will discuss the promises, the challenges, and the dangers of the emerging field of nanotechnology. Date | Monday, October 11 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Location | Thorn Street Brewery North Park Get tickets here! Ticket prices vary from $5 to $10. For more information, please visit fleetscience.org/events/suds-science or call (619) 238-1233.
