Hi Esther,


I hope all is well.  Also, I hope your principal approves your travel to this 
meeting.  



I have attached a fairly recent position paper published by the American 
Chemical Society's Green Chemistry Institute which deals with green and 
sustainable nanotechnology.  I hope you find this useful.




Best regards,




Buzz Cue

Thanks for the invitation. I am very interested in attending this conference 
since National Chemistry Week 2012 is devoted to nanotechnology.  It will be a 
good way to prepare to present the topic to my students. I just would like to 
get some information on the workshops and about the keynote speaker so I can 
justify to my Principal missing a day of work to attend.
Thank you
Mrs. Hines

It’s time to register for the 
8th Annual K-12 Nanotechnology Teacher Conference
 
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at Holloway Commons on the Campus of 
TheUniversity ofNew HampshireDurham,NH
 
 FREE and Open to all K-12 teachers with a knowledge of or interest in science 
and technology.
 
Nanotechnology is the latest “revolutionary” technology that is bringing 
sweeping changes to the 21st Century. Some of the applications are already 
here. Find out what they are, and how they will affect the lives and 
professions of your students in the near future. Come to the Nanotechnology 
Conference and get answers to the following questions:

What is Nanotechnology? 
Where is it being investigated? 
Why is it so important? 
What applications of nanotechnology already exist?
What applications are thought possible in the next 5 to 15 years?
What are the societal and ethical impacts of nanotechnology?

 
Also learn howyou can get involved in developing ways to inform the next 
generation of workers (your students) who may very well earn their living as 
well as benefit from this new technology.
 
If you have never been to this conference, or if you haven’t attended in some 
time, it’s time to get a fresh perspective on the up and coming field that is 
already sweeping the nation, and the world.
