It's all part of the National Institutes of Health's formal announcement of its $144.3 million, five-year plan to develop and apply nanotechnology to cancer detection and treatment. The speakers will include anybody who's anybody in the hunt for nanocures for cancer, including Rick Smalley and Vicki Colvin.
Also scheduled to be discussed are safety and ethical issues, plus ways in which researchers can get funding. In other words, something for just about anybody who's interested in the near-term prospects and potential problems associated with nanotechnology.
If
you're even the slightest bit curious about near-term nanotech, and
want to see some truly fascinating stuff, you should try to virtually
be there.

I was reading about the use of nan technology on the prostate cancer website, http://www.malecare.com That and your postings make me feel very hopeful.
Thanks, I hadn't heard of that before. Here's a link to a recent story about quantum dots being used to detect prostate cancer, for anybody else who's curious:
