Nano Days 2011 coming up

2011’s Nano Days are March 26 – April 3. There’s a very upbeat (i.e., lots of hype) 30 sec. promotional video, which can be found here and you can find out more about Nano Days 2011 events here. For anyone who’s wondering what Nano Days are in the first place (from the Nano Days webpage),

What is NanoDays? NanoDays is a nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering and its potential impact on the future. NanoDays events are organized by participants in the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net – If you’re not already a part of NISE Net, it’s easy to join!) and take place at over 200 science museums, research centers, and universities across the country from Puerto Rico to Hawaii. NanoDays engages people of all ages in learning about this emerging field of science, which holds the promise of developing revolutionary materials and technologies.

While several communities conducted NanoDays events in prior years, the first nationwide week of events took place in 2008 with more than 100 institutions participating. This has grown to more than 200 events over the past years.

There’s a thematically appropriate nano haiku in the March issue of NISE Net’s newsletter,

Ali Stein of the Sciencenter submitted this haiku about the brand new NanoDays Promotional Video:

A commercial, whew!
Spring arrives, and NanoDays.
Nano fun for all.

That’s all folks.
