March 20 and 21, 2006 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Materials Research Science and
Engineering Center on Nanostructured Interfaces and the School of
Journalism and Mass Communication offer an intensive two-day course and
fellowships for journalists interested in exploring the science and
engineering of nanotechnology. The course is intended to provide
hands-on perspective and detailed insight into the rapidly emerging
field and its implications for society.

Twelve selected journalists — including science, technology, business
and general assignment reporters, as well as editors and
photojournalists — will receive a stipend to cover course and travel
costs. To apply, submit a resume and a letter of application stating
your professional interests and reasons for wanting to know more about
nanotechnology. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 31, 2005.
Applications may be submitted electronically to kgentry@wisc.edu

For more information, contact Ken Gentry at (608) 263-7128,
kgentry@wisc.edu

Participants will learn about the latest in nanotechnology from leading
scientists and will have the opportunity to explore the technology
through innovative lab experiences and group discussions. Course
participants will access working laboratories and will attend lectures
on the science and engineering aspects of nanotechnology, in addition
to seminars on current research and its public policy implications.
