Public attitudes toward nano: MSRG research in the news

Earlier this month, Nature Nanotechnology published a piece on public attitudes toward nanotechnology , comparing influences on public opinion about nanotechnology in the US and over a dozen European countries. The list of authors included a number of MSRG graduate students and faculty.

The article:

Scheufele, D. A., Corley, E. A., Shih, T.-j., Dalrymple, K. E., & Ho, S. S. (forthcoming). Religious beliefs and public attitudes to nanotechnology in Europe and the US. Nature Nanotechnology (first published online on December 7, 2008 as doi:10.1038/NNANO.2008.361).
