Science in the News is a free seminar series for the public that explains and discusses today's hottest scientific topics without the hype or exaggeration often introduced in media coverage. Now in its 6th year, this program is run entirely by graduate students from the Harvard Medical School community. We assume no prior scientific knowledge, and this has allowed us to attract a diverse audience from all walks of life. In these podcasts, we will present our complete seminar series, so you can listen to them if you can't make it in person! Check out our website at http://www.sitnboston.org/ for more information.

Nanotechnology: Nanosafety
A nanometer is 100,000 times thinner than a strand of hair and yet researchers predict that technology at this scale will change the way we work, play, and live in the near future. From miniscule medical devices to clothes that don't stain and solar panels as thick as a coat of paint, nanotechnology is a hot area of research. But how do researchers study things so small, let alone manipulate them into useful items? In this seminar we'll explore the emerging field of nanotechnology and explain wh...
