  A comment on Conversation: What do you think about nanotechnology?

  May 23 2012: Every technology has side effects, researchers try to reduce risks. Regarding nanotechnology: countries and international organizations during last decade formed discussion groups, released reports, wrote articles. So far I think there is no consensus but people believe that solution lies in international cooperation and transdisciplinary approach. We should help them to develop flexible, good strategies.
