The CNS-ASU Network
UW’s commitment to scholarly and public engagement on the role of science and technology in society is manifest in its new Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies. In partnership with the Holtz Center, the NSEC for Templated Synthesis and Assembly at the Nanoscale supports a core research program investigating NSE and society and a graduate and postdoctoral fellows program that brings together outstanding NSE-and-society researchers from around the world. NSEC researchers are exploring issues including university-industry relations, the commercialization of NSE products, the economics of NSE in Wisconsin, technology and security, environmental and health risk, legal and organizational development, and ethics. Wisconsin has also developed a Nanotechnology in Undergraduate Education (NUE) program to prepare graduate students to introduce NSE-and-society materials into their future undergraduate teaching. Wisconsin’s science journalism faculty explores public attitudes and media coverage of science and technology, including a national survey (in partnership with Cornell and Penn State, funded by NSF SES 0403783) of public attitudes about NSE. |
