The Foresight Vision Weekend is off-the-record, so I’m not able to do real liveblogging. At the moment, we’re listening to Patrick Hopkins speak on “Who Will Hate Nanotechnology and Why?” There have been many great talks, but I’ll select just one as an example. Yesterday we heard from Peter Diamandis, Chairman of [...]

from the help-wanted dept.
DanKindsvater writes "I really ought to jettison a few of my projects since I'm trying to finish my master's in AI this summer, but they're all too important to me. I'd appreciate help from anyone attempting something similar, especially if you have time to chat at the Gathering this month:
1. Collect job descriptions of nanotech jobs to show to smart local (mainly UNC-G and NCA&T) graduate students, to increase local interest in nano-relevant courses;
2. Raise, or identify, scholarship money for any local students who want to put some effort into qualifying for one of the spiffy new IMM prizes;
3. Provide syllabi or other course materials for local professors who are interested in offering nano-relevant courses."
