There’s also some ‘creative writing’ in this month’s issue,

Nano Creative Writing

I can’t remember who decided that it was a good idea to make all 13 NanoDays training videos in one day, but we did it! Ali, our tireless producer, acquired a space at the Sciencenter for us to film and assembled all of the activities. Kevin, our ultra-intrepid on-camera superstar, displayed absolute brilliance with his computeresque knowledge of each activity. If you can find the time to watch all 13 videos you might try scanning the background to see which objects have moved.

Happy Viewing!
