NISE Net’s Youtube channel

Dexter Johnson at his Nanoclast blog noted in an October 13, 2010 posting that NISE Net (Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network) has placed a number of nanotechnology-related videos on its own Youtube channel. From the Nanoclast posting,

I haven’t really looked at a wide variety of videos that NISE has collected, but the ones that come from a DVD NISE Network produced called “Talking Nano” contains some real gems. In particular, I enjoyed a seminar George Whitesides gave educators and journalists back in 2007 at the Museum of Science in Boston on what they should know and consider important when relating the subject of nanotechnology either to their students or their audience.

Whitesides, of course, is a renowned scientist at Harvard University, and someone who I’ve come to appreciate for his unique perspectives on how nanotechnology will develop.

Dexter features part 1 of the Whitesides interview which he recommends. I haven’t had time to check the video out yet, although based on the pleasure of seeing some of Whitesides’ collaborative work with Felice Frankel in book form, I too would recommend it.
