NAS Panel Recommends Further Study of Nanomaterials
As nanomaterials move into the marketplace, a panel of the National Academy of Sciences is concerned that not enough is known about their potential health and environmental risks.

As public funding for research dwindles, scientists are increasingly seeking private benefactors. But they have a lot to learn if they are to win trust and money: how to schmooze contacts, promote their science and deliver results to deadline--all without over-promising on the work. Much of this does not come naturally to scientists.
